In the other just as awesome storyline in this episode, Tyrol warns about the Galactica’s physical instability despite the new Cylon upgrade of the hull. Indeed throughout the entire episode, the ship trembles and quakes as the electricity periodically cuts out.

Sonya, a Number Six who has been elected the Cylon representative to the Quorum, asks for Boomer to be released so they can try her for treason since she sided with Cavil in the Cylon Civil War. Tyrol is troubled by the fact that Sonya Six wants to give Boomer the death penalty, which is now a possibility since resurrection is gone.

As Tyrol works on the ship, he reminisces about his relationship with Boomer. Helo may have Athena, but Boomer was always in love with the Chief. He visits her in the brig and learns she still loves him too. They touch and Tyrol is transported to a nice house on Picon with Boomer in a floral dress looking like the newest resident of Wisteria Lane. He quickly escapes and realizes Boomer was using some weird Cylon projection.

He runs off and calls a meeting of the Final Five to rally them around the idea of saving Boomer from the trial. Ellen thinks they shouldn’t get involved and Tigh doesn’t care because his baby just died. Tory is no help at all, and Anders is still a vegetable.

Tyrol returns to Boomer for another trip down the Cylon projection rabbit hole. He goes into the alternate reality where Galen and Sharon got married and moved to a nice house and even had a little baby. It’s very bittersweet.
