As the first season of Battlestar Galactica comes to a close things are getting dramatic to say the least. After the previous episode I was expecting most of this episode to take place on Kobol; as it turned out only a relatively small part of the story was set there as the survivors got out of the crashed Raptor and decided on the best course of action to take while waiting for rescue. Back on Caprica it looks as though Helo as come to trust Sharon even though he knows she is a Cylon although this may be because she has told him that she is baring his child. Sharon also tells him that they must get the Arrow of Apollo if they are to find Earth... having missed Adama's speech Helo doesn't believe that Earth exist. Starbuck is also after the Arrow and manages to get her hands on it, just as she is found by a Cylon Six.
Adama is furious that President Roslin has overstretched her authority by persuading Starbuck to abandon her orders and return to Caprica on what he considers a fool's errand. He orders his troops to head to Colonial One and take her into custody. With Starbuck and the raider on Caprica he must come up with a new plan to attack the Basestar. Having one Cylon ID device left he has it fitted to a Raptor and sends Boomer to deliver the bomb. When it fails to launch she lands on the basestar and sets the bomb manually, while doing that she meets many copies of herself who surprisingly don't stop her setting the bomb. When she gets back to Galactica it becomes apparent why they let her leave!
This was a great season finale leaving the viewer to wonder if one of the key characters will survive, who will be president now Roslin is in the brig and Baltar lost on Kobol, whether Starbuck, Helo and Sharon will get back to the fleet and if they do what will they do to a known Cylon? It was quite a surprise to see Adama have the president arrested and an even bigger surprise to see Apollo side with Roslin and point his side-arm at Colonel Tigh.
