Starbuck is assigned to quickly train replacements (who are referred to as "nuggets"). Elsewhere, President Laura Roslin has a check up with the ship's medical officer, Dr. Cottle . Cottle tells Roslin her cancer is inoperable and gives her a few months to live, however he prescribes a powerful medication that can help her, but its not without its side effects. Meanwhile, Starbuck's training task brings back painful memories of the unfortunate death of her fiancé, Zak Adama .

Crashdown , Lt. Felix Gaeta and Dr. Baltar , during which ''Galactica''-Boomer catches word about Baltar's "Cylon Detector".
