Despite Doctor Cottle's best efforts, Natalie's wounds prove fatal and she dies while projecting a forest for comfort.
The Quorum can elect a temporary president, so Lee Adama solicits the help of a reluctant Romo Lampkin in choosing the best candidate.
Athena confesses to Adama about the visions she had of Natalie and Gaius Baltar taking away her half-human, half-Cylon child, Hera.
A raptor scouting mission to those coordinates finds the remains of a battle with a destroyed Cylon Basestar, Viper, and what is assumed to be the hub.
Adama does not believe the destroyed Basestar was the rebels' ship with Roslin on board, and he orders four Raptors to remain there in case it returns.
Angers explode and a short but brutal fight ensues between the two men, but the old friends soon stop and accept their unusual emotional predicaments.
Admiral Adama will no longer risk his remaining pilots or the fleet in looking for Roslin, and hands over command of the Galactica to Tigh.
