Plot

Survivor Count: 47,905

Facing a fleet-wide fuel shortage, Commader Adama sends Raptors to scout for Tylium deposits. Lt. Crashdown and Galactica-Boomer locate Tylium on a nearby asteroid but find it is already being used by the Cylons.

Adama decides to attack the heavily guarded depot and Capt. Apollo and Col. Tigh plan the attack, but at Commander Adama's instigation, Lt. Starbuck devises a new one. She is unable to take part in it herself due to her crash landing injuries, and tells Apollo her doubts about his flying lead in the mission believing he lacks her own brand of inspired improvisation.

Back on Caprica, Helo and Caprica-Boomer hide out on a farm. Helo is astonished to see a copy of the blonde Cylon woman, (Number Six, who Boomer had killed when she first rescued him), is now leading a group of Centurions toward their location. Boomer convinces Helo that they need to leave the farm immedately.

Back at the fleet, Dr. Baltar analyses the recon photos of the Cylon depot. Starbuck and Apollo are unsure of what targets to hit. After Number Six tells Balter he is an "instrument of God", who will lead his hand, he makes a "wild guess", pointing to a random structure in the photo.

Apollo leads the raid on the refinery and is successful, with Apollo executing a Starbuck-like reckless maneuver to fly down inside the mine tunnels to disable the depot's defences as correctly pointed out by Baltar. Victorius, Baltar has a another religious epiphany; believeing he is divinely influenced he begins his growing sympathy for the Cylon's cause.
