-A new ship named the Demetrius will appear. The ship is described as cramped and "submarine-like."

-Leoben appears.

-In spite of the Adama/Starbuck conflict, he decides that he has to trust her in order to find Earth so he sends her on a mission to the Demetrius.

-Lt. Eammon 'Gonzo' Pike and Tracey Anne are both slated to appear.

-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.

-After spending a few episodes in the brig, Kara breaks out and holds Roslin at gunpoint. Tigh is sent in with some Marines to save Roslin no matter what.

-Bradley Thompson confirmed all existing episode titles except "Into the West," so we're updating the episode back to untitled. While he would confirm the ones that were right, Thompson would not fill in the gaps.

-Sharon has Kara in a headlock as Helo walks around. She says that they are giving up their last chance to find Earth.

-Due to the increasing perils of the Cylon Civil War, some Cylons try to find allies among the crew of the Demetrius.

-A heavy raider docks with the Demetrius and it turns out to be Leoben. Kara tells Helo that the Cylons can help them since they understand about Earth. As Leoben can be seen helping Kara with her painting in her quarters, Athena says that Kara is out of control and will get them all killed. Kara orders a jump and Helo refuses to execute it. She then turns to Gaeta, who also refuses. Another scene has Tyrol, who has shaved his head, holding a gun to his own head as he screams.
