New Scene:
Still on board the Colonial One, we see Number Six leaning over to ask the doctor, "Do you want children, Gaius?", to which he sarcastically replies, "Hmm ...Let me think about that one for a minute ...No." Number six, with concern replies, "Procreation, is one of god's commandments.", to which the doctor replies, "Really? Well, I'm sure some day, if you're a good Cylon, he'll reward you with a very lovely looking toaster, of your very own." She stares at him with a demanding look and says, "I want us to have a child ...Gaius." Dr. Baltar is hysterical and replies, "You can't be serious?" The camera switches over to Billy, who says, "It's Dr. Amarack." Dr. Baltar quickly turns around and asks, "What was that?, he turns back to see that Number Six has disappeared. Billy and the President look at him, with confusion. He turns back and tries to make sense of his behavior, "So sorry, ...for interrupting you, while you were speaking ...you were just saying?" Billy, who is still confused with Dr. Baltar's behavior says, "Oh, uh ...I was just saying that Dr. Amarack had requested to speak with the president." Dr. Baltar replies, "Dr. Amarack, I see ..." The president then asks, "You know him?" Number Six then reappears and asks Dr. Baltar, "Have you always been able to multi-task like this?" Dr. Baltar replies to the Cylon, "Yes ...", he then realizes what he was doing and directs his words to the president, "Yes ... I used to work with him at the Ministry of Defense." Billy replies, "It says here, that he's uncovered important information, regarding how the Cylons were able to defeat our defenses." Then Number Six says, "I was always worried that he was on to us", to which the doctor replies, "Were you?" He then realizes that he is doing it again, and directs his words at the president, "...going to speak to him? Perhaps, I should speak to him, if you're busy." Billy interrupts, "Actually, I think he wanted to speak directly with the president. It sounded urgent." Number Six, with great concern, tells the doctor, "It must be very, very important ...Maybe something about a certain traitor in the President's inner circle?" The president decides, there isn't enough time, before they jump and says she wants him on board, first thing, during the next cycle." She then looks toward the doctor and says, "Oh, thank you doctor.", to which he nods cooperatively. Number Six, while distracting the doctor says, "I 'ld say you have a serious problem." Dr. Baltar is still nodding and directs his words to the president, "...If I can help." The president watches Dr. Baltar leave the room and says to Billy, "He's a strange one, isn't he?"

New Scene:
The scene starts with the camera hovering above, Cylon-Occupied Caprica, then zooms down to the planet, below. We see Helo, still there after six days, running through a rain drenched forest in an attempt to escape the Cylon ground troops, who are in close pursuit. He finds some downed trees to take cover behind, while the Cylons are only a few meters away, then detonates a bomb, which destroys the ones that were in close proximity. He grabs his sidearm and proceeds to make sure that his trap did a thorough job, when he sees that one of the Cylons, while cut in half during the explosion, is relentlessly crawling toward him. He uses his sidearm to dispose of the remaining toaster and is relieved that he has survived another attack.

New Scene:
Back on the Galactica, the clock is ticking near the thirty-three minute mark, and we see Dee, following the commander and colonel, down a corridor. The commander is looking at the documentation that Dee handed him and says, "12 more cases of nervous exhaustion ...that makes 61" He then turns to the colonel and says, "...Have the doc start pumping em up with stimulants ...Get em back on the line. Pilots too ...one out of every three, every other cycle." Colonel Tigh replies, "That's going to come back and bite us in the ass." The commander replies, "Yeah well, we've got too much work to do and not enough people to do it." Dee then says, "COM traffic from the president." Commander Adama then asks the colonel, "Is it my ten minutes, or is it yours?" The colonel replies, "No, it's yours. I took ten, last time." After the commander walks away, Dee tells the colonel, "I believe, it was your ten minutes.", to which the colonel replies, "The old man is so tired, that he can't remember, that it's his turn."

New Scene:
Back in the hangar bay, Cally and Starbuck are looking over her Viper, when Apollo asks, "Hey, you um, ...issued a note from the EXO?", to which Starbuck replies, "Yeah, I saw it ...No way." Apollo replies, "Kara, everyone else ..." and Starbuck interrupts, "I don't fly with stims ...they stunt your reflexes, your reaction time ..." Apollo replies, "Come on, Kara, give me a break, just...." Starbuck replies, "Why are we arguing about this?" he replies, "I have no idea.", to which she quickly replies, "Neither do I ...You're the CAG, act like one." Apollo, who is aggravated replies, "What the hell does that mean?" She then walks up to him and get's in his face to say, "It means, that you're still acting like you're everyone's best friend." She then emphasizes, "We're not friends, you're the CAG! ...Be careful out there? Our job isn't to be careful, it's to shoot Cylons out of the Fracken sky! ...Good hunting, is what you say! And now one of your idiot pilots is acting like a child and refusing to take her pills. So, she either says, Yes Sir and obeys a direct order or you smack her in the mouth and you drag her sorry ass down to sickbay and you make her take those pills." There is a serious moment between the two, but then they both bust a gut laughing, at how ridiculous things are. Apollo replies, "Well, I'm glad I'm not working for you." Starbuck can hardly keep from laughing and says, "Damn right, your glad!" Apollo then asks, "So, do I have to smack you in the mouth, Lieutenant?", to which she replies, "No, sir ...I'll take my pills" and Apollo hands her the bottle of stimulants. We then hear the loudspeaker say, "Pilots to Ready Room: Pilot briefing."

New Scene:
Back on Caprica, we see Helo suffering near hypothermia, due to the non-stop rain, over the last few days. He takes his anti-radiation medicine and all of a sudden, he turns to see a copy of the number six model, standing in the distance. He ducks behind cover, then quickly raises his weapon to turn back to the enemy, when suddenly from behind him, a mechanical Cylon has him at gunpoint. He realizes that he has no chance and begins to surrender ...

New Scene:
Back with the fleet, we see the Galactica firing and being fired upon, by the next cycle of Cylon attacks and in a flash of light, the Galactica makes, yet another hyper jump, to rejoin the rest of the fleet. In the command center, we see Gaeta turn to the commander and say, "Jump 238, complete." Colonel Tigh replies with, the all too familiar, "Start the clock." Gaeta get's on the loudspeaker and says, "Another thirty-three minutes ...mark!" and to everyone's dismay, another thirty-three minute cycle, begins. Dee starts to report that all civilian ships are present and accounted for, when she discovers that one is missing. Colonel Tigh asks, "Which one?", to which Dee replies, "The Olympic Carrier ...commercial passenger vessel." Commander Adama, while concerned, walks toward Dee and asks, "Were they left behind?" Dee replies, "I think I accounted for all civilian ships, before we left ...." and Colonel Tigh interrupts, "You think? ...Did you or didn't you?"
