Episode 4.10 "Revelations" (June 13)

In the final episode of the first half of season 4, Laura Roslin, held captive by the Cylons, will begin to understand here destiny, which appears to be connected to Hera's.  D'Anna will be interact with the president, which could mean good news for fans, as D'Anna is the only person who actually knows who the final Cylon is.  Since this is the final episode before the last run, expect some big "revelations," as the title suggest, possibly, but not necessarily including: revealing the final Cylon, finding Earth and Roslin's death.

In "Revelations," D'Anna tells Roslin and Lee Adama that she wants the Final Four, and she's going to hold all the Colonials hostage until she gets them. Adama tries to fight back, but to no avail. D'Anna takes him to the Galactica, where the Final Four are.

Tigh approaches Bill Adama and tells him that he has to cancel the rescue mission, otherwise Roslin will be the next to die. Tigh reveals that he is one of the Final Four cylons, and Adama goes nuts, pounding back the alcohol. Lee captures Tigh and tells D'Anna that if she doesn't release the hostages, he's going to "flush Saul Tigh out of the airlock." He then arrests Tyrol and Anders as well and puts them in the airlock. Nobody knows if he's bluffing. D'Anna order the basestar to point their nukes on the fleet.

Starbuck detects something unusual on her computers. It's a Colonial emergency locator signal. Starbuck thinks it's a signal from Earth.

Lee tells D'Anna that he has given amnesty to the Final Four and it's time for a change. D'Anna thinks it over and then orders for the hostages to be released. She and Lee form a truce and resolve to go to Earth together. They make it to Earth, but find that it is a destroyed civilization.
