Back in sick bay, Nicholas may need a blood transfusion and a new kidney, and while Tyrol wants them to use half-Cylon blood, there’s a big problem because Cottle is forced to tell Tyrol that he’s not the father.

Gaeta has a chat with Starbuck, bringing up old wounds about how she and two Cylons tried to throw him out an airlock for collaborating with the enemy. She makes jokes about his missing leg and he threatens her with retribution for the way she’s siding with her Cylon husband. Before leaving, she states she’s not afraid to hit a cripple.

Zarek meets with the Quorum to stir up anti-Roslin sentiments since her and Bill’s promise of a new home on Earth was a bust. He also gets everyone to focus their hatred on the Cylons, passing a vote that no Cylon may board a ship unless it first has permission from the people on that individual ship.

Roslin decides to get some exercise so she runs around the Galactica when she’s supposed to be getting cancer treatments. Bill isn’t happy about this and he tries to talk some sense into her about how Zarek is taking over in her absence and he’s leading an anti-Cylon agenda. Roslin just doesn’t care anymore, preferring to live for today and not for the future or any silly prophecy about a dying leader.

We haven’t seen Gaius Baltar in a while, but he’s still giving sermons to his devoted flock. He tells the people that they’ve been unfairly punished with a horrible Earth, and that God is to blame and God should come down and ask for forgiveness. This fervor turns into a brawl when Hot Dog shows up and reveals to Tyrol that he’s Nicholas’ biological father, getting a punch in the face for his troubles.
