PLOT


Survivor Count: 47,875

With Commander Adama in critical condition, Col. Tigh takes command of the ''Galactica'' . Capt. Apollo is put under arrest for disobeying the order to arrest President Laura Roslin (and putting a gun to Tigh's head). Roslin herself occupies the adjacent cell in the ''Galactica'' brig.

The Cylons then attack, and Tigh orders an emergency FTL jump to escape them. However, updated coordinates had not been transmitted to the rest of the fleet, and ''Galactica'' becomes separated from them.

Lt. Gaeta determines that in order to find the fleet, the ''Galactica'' must first jump back to its original position, (where the Cylons are waiting for them), and then jump again to the fleet's position. To minimise computation time for the second jump, Col. Tigh reluctantly allows Gaeta to network the ''Galactica's'' damage control and weapon control computers to the navigation systems, although this will put them at risk of a Cylon Computer Virus .

In the moments before jump, Tigh goes to the brig where he brutally interrogates Boomer , but she tearfully states she didn't know she was a Cylon agent. In medical, Adama is stabilized but he has slipped into a coma.

Tigh returns to CIC and ''Galactica'' makes its first jump to the battle front and begins computations for the second. Meanwhile its Vipers hold off the attacking Cylon Raider s. The ship makes its second jump just before the Cylon virus breaks down Gaeta's last Computer Firewall .

''Galactica'' is reunited with the fleet. However, one of the attacking Cylon ships has crash-landed into ''Galactica's'' landing bay. Back on Caprica , Caprica-Boomer steals Starbuck's Cylon Raider, stranding her with Helo .
