In a hurry? Read the recaplet for a nutshell description! Finished? Click here to close.Team Prez goes questing for the Tomb of Athena. Adama starts questing for Team Prez, with Tyrol and Billy for company. Meier tells Boomer that her other incarnation was killed and tries to recruit her into the assassination plot. Adama meets up with Team Prez and there's some hugging. And also some choking, when Adama sees Boomer. Adama's heart isn't quite up to the task, though, so Boomer survives and gets to have an awkward reunion with Tyrol. Well, it's awkward for Tyrol and Helo; she seems fine with it. Now that everyone's reunited, Zarek nixes the assassination plan, but Meier strikes out on his own. Boomer agrees to kill Adama, while Meier will kill Apollo. When they find the Tomb of Athena, Boomer turns on Adama...and then keeps on turning, and shoots Meier. With that sorted out, they enter the tomb, and find a statue of Sagittaron that's missing its arrow. Starbuck puts the Arrow of Apollo on the bow, which plops them all into...a hologram? Let's just assume it was a hologram. They're in a field where they can see the twelve symbols of the colonies mirrored in the constellations above them. Starbuck works out that Earth is a place where all twelve constellations are visible. Apollo, slightly more practically, recognizes the Lagoon Nebula, and figures that they can use it as a fingerpost. Then they can't figure out how to exit the hologram (or whatever) and starve to death in there. Okay, no; instead they get out somehow, and Adama makes a speech reinstating the Prez, and then leads everyone in a prolonged slow clap, so my version's better. Back on the Galactica, Baltar is fed up with Six, so he gets a checkup from Cottle to find out if there really is a chip in his brain. There's not. However, he overhears Boomer and Helo talking and confirms Six's statements about there being a baby on the way. Six explains everything: she's an angel, sent to protect Baltar while the human race is exterminated. How nice for him! Want more? The full recap starts right below!
really deserve such an honor, "but one doesn't question God's will." Baltar says that Six isn't a chip, and she agrees. But since she was right about Boomer's pregnancy, he figures she's not just Baltar's subconscious, either. He rather nervously concludes, "I'm not..." Six finishes, "Crazy?" Baltar says, "No!" But he'd like to know what she is, then. Six duhs, "I'm an angel of God sent here to protect you. To guide you, to love you." Baltar nervously asks, "To what end?" Six says, "To the end of the human race." Then Baltar says, "No, I meant to what purpose..." Well, really he just looks justifiably terrified as Six cuddles up to him.Next time: It's Xena! And she's blonde!
