Plot Summary
A spaceship described as "submarine-looking" appears on the scene. They later find out that the cramped ship is named Demetrius. Along with Starbuck, Helo, Anders and Athena also are on the Demetrius on the mission to find Earth, which is an old sewage refining ship. The mission lasts longer than expected and with only two days left before the deadline to meet back up with Galactica, there is dissention because Starbuck wants to go further
Inevitable as it is, the search for Earth is taking its toll on everyone which induced tension among Kara and her crewmates. Kara's mental stability is put in question and having that question up and out in the open brought unwanted awkwardness among them. Sharon, having Kara on headlock and with Helo walking around, defiantly says that they are giving up their last chance to find Earth.
A raider docks along with Demetrius and it happened to be Leoben. Leoben is then seen helping Kara with her painting, while this is happening, Athena says that Kara is "out of control" and most probably will get them all killed. Not helping this impression on her, Kara orders a jump and after Helo refuses it, Gaeta also refuses it.
A particularly interesting scene happened when Tyrol, finally sinking into a downward spiral because of his losses; shaves his head, holds a gun to it and screams. He lets go a remarkable quote in this episode: "Cally wasn't like me. She forgave you for New Caprica; even read your bogus manifesto, but not me. You may have your sheep fooled, they may be buying into your message of forgiveness. But let me tell you, there are some sins that even your imaginary god can never forgive."
