Present Day: Tyrol, who is still the Chief, shows Adama what he found last week, a huge crack in the hull of Galactica. He thinks he can fix it, and while Adama trusts him, he doesn’t want any other Cylons on the repair crew.

After even more investigation, Tyrol learns there are hairline fractures in all of the ship’s beams. Tyrol offers a possible solution, a genetic Cylon compound that adheres to and fixes the cracks as it matures. Admiral Adama is willing to accept Cylons in his fleet, but he refuses to have his entire ship become part Cylon. After seeing cracks in his own quarters, Adama changes his mind and lets Tyrol do whatever it takes to save his ship.

Lee and Roslin work on planning to reconstitute the Quorum, which Zarek killed. Lee thinks they should now have representatives from each ship, not each former planet, since the ships are now their homes. Roslin agrees and would like Lee to take the lead and do all the heavy lifting.


Two Days Ago: Ellen realizes that Cavil put the Final Five through so much suffering and torture to teach them a lesson so they would be grateful when they downloaded again. Ellen knows that it was Cavil who destroyed the artistic Daniels, and Cavil still blames Ellen for creating him and making him a monster.

Ellen doesn’t accept his premise and she uses love for him to convince Cavil that he’s capable of good. He isn’t, and instead plots some fiendish torture. Boomer escorts her away, but she decides to forgive Ellen and instead helps her flee and jump away.

Next week on Battlestar Galactica: Guess who’s back? Ellen Tigh reunites with the fleet. That shouldn’t be awkward at all, since she’s the fellow Cylon wife Saul killed because she was working with the Cylons.
