[1] An extended version of this episode with 25 minutes of extra footage was included on the Region 1 DVD and Blu-ray releases of the third season and in the UK exclusively on the Blu-ray release The crew of Galactica have reinstated an old military tradition by setting up a boxing ring and putting rank aside — by the placing of dog tags in a metal box — crew and officers freely duke it out in one-on-one matches.

Admiral Adama arrives with President Roslin, who is a boxing enthusiast, to watch the next series of fights; Kat wins against a female crew member, and Hot Dog is quickly knocked out by Starbuck.

Tyrol asked Adama for permission to leave the ship so he and Cally's child could be born and raised down on the planet.

Without warning, the Admiral steps into the ring and tells Chief Tyrol to get his "fat, lazy ass" in there with him.

Tyrol enters as ordered, thinking the match will be a joke until the bell rings and Adama knocks him to the mat with a fast right hook.

Apollo stands up and shouts to the night sky that he loves Kara Thrace, unconcerned about anyone hearing him.

Flashing to the next morning on New Caprica, Admiral Adama and Roslin talk with Chief Tyrol and Cally.

Adama tells Tyrol that he has given the Chief's situation some thought and that he has decided they can remain on New Caprica to have their child.

Returning to the town, he meets his father, who tells him that Starbuck and Anders have just got married in a surprise ceremony earlier that morning.

Apollo then walks off in a dazed shock back to a Raptor to return to Pegasus, with Dee waiting on the entry ramp.
