Bill and Tigh are angry that so many ships are refusing to allow Cylons and Cylon technology onboard. Gaeta thinks it’s OK for the ships to do this and that Adama doesn’t have the right to order everyone around. Bill learns of a mutiny aboard a tillium ship and after failing to establish contact, he orders his team to go in.

Then he intercepts a communication between the ship and Zarek in which the vice president encourages the mutiny. Before Adama’s Raptors reach it, the tillium ship jumps away, taking the fleet’s fuel with it.

Adama orders Athena to board Colonial One and arrested Zarek. He adds that if the vice president refuses, she can use deadly force. Unfortunately, it doesn’t get that far and Zarek is arrested and brought back to Galactica. After a quick talk, Zarek gives up the coordinates for the tillium ship. Athena goes and gets it back.

Later, Gaeta visits Zarek in prison and agrees to join the anti-Cylon revolution as Zarek’s second-in-command. As far as getting storylines, losing his leg was the best thing that ever happened to Gaeta. Now he’s a leader in a revolution and he has a boyfriend.

Speaking of bigger storylines, Hot Dog sits down with Nicholas in sick bay and gets parenting lessons from Tyrol, who’s over his anger. I’m guessing that Hot Dog going from background Viper pilot to major player in the Cylon storyline has something to do with the fact that he’s played by Edward James Olmos’ son.

Next week on Battlestar Galactica: Gaeta leads a mutiny to relieve Adama of his command. Needless to say, he doesn’t go quietly.
