The episode begins aboard the Demetrius, as Helo refuses to obey Captain Starbuck's orders to rendezvous with Leoben's Basestar.
They explain that in their attempt to revolt, the Sixes only led them to disaster and they ask Athena to help lead a mutiny against them.
The system can piggyback off the Raptor's FTL to navigate a jump back to the Demetrius, but the Hybrid will have to be disconnected.
Jean Barolay preps the Raptor for the FTL link up, a copy of Six approaches and recognizes her as a resistance member back on New Caprica.
The Six tells her of an incident on New Caprica when Barolay pushed her into a water treatment reservoir and did nothing but watch her drown, and that she could not get past it.
Back on the Basestar, Starbuck finds the Hybrid, and listens to her strange rant of technical information and nonsensical statements.
Roslin tearfully harks back to when her mother was dying and how she believed Aphrodite would take her away, but in the end, there was nothing but darkness.
Back on the Basestar, Natalie solves the Hybrid's riddle by answering that "the three" is a reference to D'anna, and that she knows who the final five Cylons are.
Gaeta's health steadily declines, and he requests that Helo prevent Doctor Cottle from amputating his leg if it comes to that.
By the time that Starbuck's group has figured out their next move, the clock has run out and Helo prepares to jump back to the fleet.
Adama doesn't know what to make of it, and is more focused on Lee turning in his wings for a political career, and Starbuck's sudden reappearance from the dead.
