A Stupidly Tilting Planet
Lay Down Your Burdens, Part I - The whole Fleet gives up on the scriptures for good after Gaius makes good on his bid for the elections using an accidentally discovered planet. Starbuck finally -- somehow -- gets leave to return to Caprica. Boomer does her wire trick again. Chief accidentally beats up Cally and then Al doesn't even need Ziggy to tell him it's because Chief's afraid he's a Cylon. |

Six Of One...
Downloaded - The Six who died in the miniseries and the Sharon who shot Adama download on Caprica and get into a whole mess of trouble with their bosses. Galactica Sharon finally has her baby, but Roslin creepily trades it for a dead newborn and sends the living child off to be raised by Tory-approved Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru analogues. |

Citizen Rya
The Captain's Hand - A young pregnant girl from a politically-conservative Colony sparks a debate that puts Gaius -- and Zarek -- on top of the upcoming elections. Lee becomes a Major, then leapfrogs to Commander of the Pegasus. Doc Cottle is non-partisan awesome. Roslin gets played utterly and completely, and will be going through her own Starbuck-level ego-destruction stuff soon as a result. |

Hi, Billy...
Sacrifice - It's a long weekend indeed as Dana Delany holds Billy and Dee and Apollo hostage on Cloud 9, Starbuck shoots Apollo right in the chest, Boomer acts incredibly creepy (to where like even Tigh picks up on it), Ellen runs around all crazy, and Billy...dies for no reason whatsoever. |

Meet The Fokker Dreidecker
Scar - It's all Viper pilots, all the time as we focus on Starbuck and her increasibly heavy bag of bullshit. Creepy morbid talk and even creepier, even more morbid sex characterize the endpoint of Starbuck's total Barfly freakout post-Cain, and the mythical, eponymous Raider finally goes down. |

BattleNoir Redactica
Black Market - Apollo investigates a black market bigwig after Colonel Fisk is murdered; he dispatches the guy, but Zarek seems to have inherited control. The hooker he's suddenly dating dumps him, and we learn about the sudden ex he dogged on Caprica. Roslin is displeased with everyone and everything. She is right. |

Can't Stop The Signal
Epiphanies - As Roslin lies dying, we flash back to the last day of humanity. A needle of Cybrid blood cures her cancer, just in time to threaten the leaders of the new Gina-led terrorist group, but too late to get back a mean letter written to one Dr. Gaius Baltar, Idiot At Large, who retaliates by handing the terrorists a nuclear bomb. |

Take Me Out
Resurrection Ship, Part II - Nobody gets the death they want, even as suicidal ideation rips through the Fleet. The Battle of the HMS Ernestine goes swimmingly, Lee goes swimming, neither assassination attempt goes through, and Gaius trades his imaginary girlfriend for a real one, who then takes out Cain. Starbuck gives Cain one hell of a eulogy, Chief backs off Boomer and Helo, Adama kisses Roslin, and the Pegasus joins the Fleet. |

The Divine Right Of Cain
Resurrection Ship, Part I - Roslin tells Adama to just kill Cain and get it over with. Cain chooses Starbuck for her new CAG, and demotes Apollo. Both Battlestars agree to put their war off long enough to take on a Cylon Fleet, and Cain and Adama plan each other's assassinations. Adama's choice of killer? Starbuck. |

Admiral Cain, She Dead
Pegasus - In this season-ending cliffhanger, our crew gets a free pass on past toaster abuse when we meet the evil crew of the Battlestar Pegasus, a ship whose Cylageddon escape strains more credence even than Galactica's. Headed by the cracked Admiral Cain and crewed by monsters, it also boasts a surprising extra passenger: a broken and horrifically abused Cylon, model Six. |

Blackbird Singing In The Dead Of Night
Flight Of The Phoenix - Relations among Helo, Chief, and Boomer come to a crisis point. A Cylon virus has spent all season burning its way into the ship's systems, and it's up to a dangerous alliance to keep it from destroying the entire fleet right this second. Roslin gets a new prognosis, Dualla and Apollo get horizontal, Chief builds a fighter ship from scratch, and everybody freaks out, but the end brings great big hugs. |
