To be aired on: May 30, 2008

Written by: Michael Taylor
Directed by: Rod Hardy

Guest Characters:
-Nurse Sashon
-Lt. Eammon "Gonzo" Pike
-Tracey Anne
-Romo Lampkin

-Leoben and Anders appear in this episode.

-Michael Taylor says that a familiar character "who's undergone something of a crisis since we last touched base with him" returns. Based on the images that flash by at the end of the preview, might this be Romo Lampkin?


-According to Taylor, there would be a "relatively brief but quietly powerful scene between Adama and Tigh."

-"You are a shining beacon of hope. Only hope is the last thing we need." - Lampkin saying this to Lee (assumption)

-According to current TV schedules, BSG will enjoy a seven week run before being pre-empted for a week, so the eighth episode (this one) will be air two weeks later kicking off a three-week run of the final episodes of the first half of the season.

-President Roslin's abduction by the Cylon Hybrid triggers a bitter power struggle within the Colonial fleet.

-Spoilers from UK viewers (who got the show a week ahead of US schedule):

• There is wreckage of both BaseStars and Vipers--has the crew aboard the BaseStar with Roslin and Baltar been forced by that sudden jump into a deadly attempt at completing their mission?
• With so many of the Vipers off on that mission, can Galactica defend herself in the event of an attack?
• With Roslin out of the way, what might Zarek and Lee be up to? Hint: Lee is one upwardly mobile young man!
• Betrayed by both Saul and Athena, the two people in whom he'd put the deepest trust, Adama makes some very surprising changes...maybe he doesn't feel he can trust himself to lead anymore?
