When this news reaches Galactica, it has a profound effect on the presidential race, which Baltar (James Callis) is losing badly. In a debate with President Roslin (Mary McDonnell), he goes on the offensive, using the possibility of a new home planet other than earth to attack her as a fear-monger who relies too much on religious scriptures and doesn’t care about people’s need to have solid land under their feet. Meanwhile, on the flight deck, Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) is wracked with regret after he reflexively and brutally attacks Cally (Nicki Clyne) when she wakes him from a recurrent nightmare.

From now on they will live apart, in peace. At the same time, voting continues in the presidential election.

In the wake of the human exodus from New Caprica, there are many scores left to be settled. Without Laura (Mary McDonnell) or Adama’s (Edward James Olmos) knowledge, a secret jury has been formed aboard Galactica. Made up of Tigh (Michael Hogan), Tyrol (Aaron Douglas), Anders (Michael Trucco) and other members of the resistance, its role is to pass judgment on those who collaborated with the Cylons. There are no lawyers or argument, and a guilty verdict means death. At the same time, the Cylons have their own jury assembled to determine the fate of Baltar (James Callis), with the vote hanging on a reluctant Number Six (Tricia Helfer). With all this in motion, Laura and Tom Zarek (Richard Hatch) strike a deal for her to return as president while Zarek stays on as vice-president. Laura is at first shocked when Zarek admits he set up the secret jury to deal with collaborators. His logic, however, is undeniable: better to deal with this now his way, the quick and dirty way, than to have long trials that could divide the fleet and leave Laura with blood on her hands. But can a quick and dirty “trial” justly decide the fate of people like Jammer (Dominic Zamprogna), who joined the Cylon-organized police force and took part in raids, but also saved Cally (Nicki Clyne) from execution? And how will the jury treat Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani), who served under a duplicitous Baltar but, unbeknownst to any of them, was the source of all the leaked information that allowed the insurgency to operate against the Cylons?

While Tigh (Michael Hogan) stokes the conflict by telling Novacek of Adama’s hand in his fate, Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff) uncovers evidence that suggests that Novacek’s escape may not be what it appears to be...

In an effort to clear the air and bring the ship together again, Adama (Edward James Olmos) allows the crew to hold a "dance": an impromptu boxing tournament where rank is forgotten and anyone can challenge anyone else. But as the fights unfold, with Tigh (Michael Hogan) playing referee and ringmaster, it becomes clear that the ring is haunted by thoughts of the recent past, of the shattered promise of a peaceful life in New Caprica, of the divisions that have emerged within the fleet and on Galactica. Things take an unexpected turn when Adama challenges Tyrol (Aaron Douglas); both men take their best shots, but the younger and stronger Tyrol has the advantage over his commander. That bout, however, is only a prelude to the main event: Apollo (Jamie Bamber) and Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff). As they go toe to toe - and as Sam (Michael Trucco) and Dualla (Kandyse McClure) watch from the sidelines - the memories come flooding back: the promises made and broken, the feelings that once brought them together only to tear them apart.

When the fleet’s food-processing machinery is contaminated, the threat of starvation looms. Sharon (Grace Park) is sent out to find a planet that can supply food for 38,000 people. She finds a planet with a rich supply of algae, but it’s on the opposite side of a massive star cluster and passage will expose people to massive doses of radiation and disable the navigation systems of the civilian ships. Adama (Edward James Olmos) develops a plan to use the Raptors to guide the civilian ships through, but it will take an enormous toll on the pilots. When Kat (Luciana Carro) expresses her concerns, Kara (Katee Sackhoff) turns on her, while Kat’s old colleague Enzo (Patrick Currie) threatens to reveals dark secrets from her past. Meanwhile, Baltar (James Callis) discovers that D’Anna (Lucy Lawless) is using the power of resurrection to look beyond the physical world. He follows her, hoping to learn more about what she’s doing - and more about himself.

Adama’s counter-proposal: make any move to take the Eye and we’ll nuke the planet. The Cylons bring another piece of news: Sharon (Grace Park) and Tyrol’s (Tahmoh Penikett) baby is alive, but not well. Sharon is initially skeptical, but when Adama confirms that Laura hid the baby at her school, she and Tyrol being to make plans to rescue her. As the standoff continues, tensions rise in both camps. On the Cylon baseship, D’Anna’s (Lucy Lawless) sense that she and Baltar (James Callis) share a destiny that might not include the others sows dissension, while on the algae planet, efforts to protect the Eye are complicated by Lee’s simmering affair with Kara (Katee Sackhoff), especially since Lee (Jamie Bamber) is counting on Anders (Michael Trucco), Kara’s husband, to rally the civilians to the cause.

However, to stave off mutiny by Anders and his men, Lee must order his emotionally-conflicted wife Dualla (Kandyse McClure) to mount a rescue attempt. As the team of marines and civilians try to hold off the Cylon forces led by D’Anna (Lucy Lawless) and Baltar (James Callis), Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) rushes to make sense of the temple’s glyphs before the planet’s star explodes.

Sleep deprived and on a hunger strike in his Galactica cell, Baltar (James Callis) tries hanging himself in the belief that he’s a Cylon and that resurrection will cleanse his soul. Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) thwarts his suicide attempt, however, and Baltar lives to face an interrogation by Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) about his role in the original Cylon attack on the Colonies. His denials crumble when Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer) enters the interrogation room. She demands a public trial for her former lover, but Roslin and Adama (Edward James Olmos) opt to extract the information they’re looking for by injecting Baltar with potent hallucinogens. The extreme measures implemented on the former President reveal both his guilty conscience and his discoveries in the Temple of Five. Roslin and Adama task Gaeta with extracting more information from Baltar, hoping that the former presidential aide may still be trusted. However, they may have greatly underestimated the level of Gaeta’s resentment toward his former boss. Meanwhile, Kara (Katee Sackhoff) continues her pursuit of Lee (Jamie Bamber), promising she’ll leave Anders (Michael Trucco) if he splits with Dualla (Kandyse McClure). The pair seems destined to be together, but their respective spouses battle to keep the marriages intact.

"Paranoid, pig-headed and argumentative." That’s the Sagitarron race as described by Dualla (Kandyse McClure), a Sag herself. Showing clear signs of Mellorak Sickness, a group of Sag refugees stick to fundamentalist beliefs by shunning the booster shots that will prevent both their own deaths and a widespread epidemic. Inside "Dogsville," the Galactica hanger deck that houses refugees, the toxic atmosphere turns even more hostile when Dr. Roberts (Bruce Davison) fails to save a series of patients who have unwillingly been given shots. Bucking against widespread hatred of the Sag minority, Helo (Tahmoh Penikett) discovers a long-standing pattern of suspicious Sag deaths. When Dualla catches the disease, her dramatically worsening condition confirms Helo’s worst fears and he must fight to get her into the care of Doc Cottle (Donnelly Rhodes). Meanwhile, Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) intends to charge Baltar (James Callis) with high crimes and treason. Zarek (Richard Hatch) warns her that the trial will trigger a "hurricane" of trouble throughout the fleet. While Baltar stews in his cell playing mind games with Number Six (Tricia Helfer), Caprica Six begins to experience similar psychic disturbances as a phantom Baltar whispers his own poisonous advice.

Gaius Baltar (James Callis) is blamed for the political unrest when it is discovered that the tylium workers have been empowered by Baltar’s new book, a political manifesto that his lawyer has secretly been smuggling out of his cell. Concerned for the safety of the fleet, President Roslin and Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) order Chief Tyrol (Aaron Douglas) to crack down on the defiant tylium workers and get fuel production up and running as quickly as possible. But Tyrol, a former union labor leader, strongly identifies with the plight of the tylium workers, and is deeply troubled when he is forced to suppress the workers’ protests. Tyrol’s inner conflict builds until catastrophe strikes and Tyrol openly defies Adama’s orders and leads the workers in an all-out strike, which has more far-reaching consequences than Tyrol ever intended.

As the fleet refuels near the stormy atmosphere of a planet, Kara (Katee Sackhoff) spots a Cylon heavy raider lurking in the dense clouds and chases after it. In a hair-raising dogfight, she feels her viper take multiple hits and the enemy ship escapes. But when Kara returns to Galactica, there’s no evidence of damage to her viper. Badly shaken and afraid she’s losing grip on reality, Kara cuts her next mission short by feigning a hydraulic failure. That’s reason enough for Lee (Jamie Bamber) to send her for a full medical and psych evaluation. It also has everyone wondering if Galactica’s top gun is cracking up. Kara is wondering the same thing. She’s haunted by nightmares about Leoben (Callum Keith Rennie), the Cylon who held her captive on New Caprica. The mandala she painted long ago keeps appearing in the planet’s atmosphere, drawing her toward its mystical vortex. And memories are flooding back about her abusive mother Socrata (Dorothy Lyman), an alcoholic ex-marine. Lee retains faith in his best pilot and keeps her on active duty. But the tightrope Kara walks between present and past, reality and illusion, threatens to snap.

With recent catastrophic events still fresh, the crew of Galactica is numb. Some are losing themselves in the bottle while others, specifically Lee, are unable to concentrate on effectively doing their jobs. Lee is pulled from CAG and assigned to protect Romo Lampkin (Mark Sheppard), an attorney called in to defend Gaius Baltar (James Callis) after his original lawyer is killed in what may have been an act of sabotage. Lampkin’s provocative tactics and the fact that he once worked for Lee’s grandfather - a storied defense attorney with a checkered past on Caprica - begin to revive the grounded pilot from his despair. When they narrowly avoid death in another bomb plot, Lee and Lampkin become closer. Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer), expected to testify against Baltar, has mixed feelings about her ex-lover, which Lampkin exploits masterfully. Meanwhile, the crew debates whether the bombings are the handiwork of a Cylon infiltrator, Baltar’s many foes or perhaps a radical inspired by his writings. When a third bomb goes off in Lampkin’s quarters, Lee discovers that the lawyer’s briefcase contains answers to more than one riddle.

The trial of Gaius Baltar (James Callis) is underway. Unable to prove his role in the genocide of the Twelve Colonies, prosecutor Didi Cassidy (Chelah Horsdal) focuses on the charge of treasonous collaboration with the enemy on New Caprica that resulted in the loss of 2,600 human souls. With Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) as his now-willing associate, Romo Lampkin (Mark Sheppard) opens the defense by arguing that the trial is motivated by mob bloodlust and Laura Roslin’s (Mary McDonnell) need for vengeance. But with a succession of powerful witnesses lined up to testify against Baltar - including President Roslin and Colonel Tigh (Michael Hogan) - the defining issue becomes how far will Lee go to question the word of the fleet’s leaders, while risking the increasing enmity of the chief judge: his own father, Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos). For his part, the Admiral must also deal with the possibility that the Cylons, conspicuous by their absence, have been secretly shadowing the fleet as it jumps from one sector of space to another, gradually closing in on the Ionian Nebula, the next stop on the route to Earth. Meanwhile, as each new jump brings the fleet closer to its destination, a series of strange hallucinations, visions and dreams begin bedeviling several members of the fleet, including President Roslin. By the time Roslin takes the witness stand, the stage is set for the trial against the "most hated man in the universe" to take a surprising twist.

Gaius Baltar (James Callis) believes the case against him is in tatters given the shattered credibility of key prosecution witnesses Colonel Tigh (Michael Hogan) and Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell). The defense team of Romo Lampkin (Mark Sheppard) and Lee Adama (Jamie Bamber) is less confident after Gaeta (Alessandro Juliani) tells the court that he saw Baltar signing a death list on New Caprica. Lampkin’s surprise motion for a mistrial leads him to call Lee to the stand, in a move that could incriminate Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos) himself. Meanwhile, eerie coincidences are being experienced aboard Galactica. The sound of a familiar but untraceable melody haunts several members of the fleet. President Roslin is also unnerved upon learning that her nocturnal dreams of the Kobol Opera House are shared by Sharon (Grace Park) and Caprica Six (Tricia Helfer). Whether a vision, dream or "projection," Roslin suspects it’s the work of the mysterious Cylons known as the Final Five.
