Plot
Following the suicide bombing of the New Caprica Police graduation, the Cylons order the arrest of hundreds of suspected insurgents. Tyrol, Anders, and Tigh miss the roundup however, as they are busy contacting Galactica in their secret location. Tyrol returns to his tent to find his son abandoned and his wife arrested. When another suicide bomber blows up a power substation, the Cylons force Baltar to sign a death warrant for two hundred suspected insurgents including Laura Roslin, Tom Zarek, and Cally Tyrol.
Leoben introduces Kara to a little girl, Kacey, as their child. He claims the toddler was created from her ovaries. Kara refuses to speak to or accept the child until she has an accident and hits her head. Kara immediately rushes to her aid, pleasing Leoben with her maternal concern. Kacey's recovery from her head injury seems to be in doubt but she later wakes up and Kara is overjoyed and takes Leoben's hand.
On Galactica, Sharon Agathon is sworn in as a Colonial officer and Adama sends her to New Caprica to meet with the resistance. Lee disagrees with his choice but his opposition goes unacknowledged.
