With the President and a number of the fleet's pilots taken when the rebel basestar jumped away, Adama begins desperate but reckless search efforts. At the same time, when it's obvious that the Admiral will not accept Zarek's assumed presidency in Roslin's absence, Lee seeks help from fallen lawyer Romo Lampkin to select someone else for the position.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Adama: Why?
Athena: Sir.
Adama: Do you hate your people so much that you look for any excuse to kill one? Or did you deliberately try to sabotage this truce?
Athena: No, sir. Of course not.
Adama: Then you tell me why. You make me understand why you did this.
Athena: They were gonna take her. The Six. She was gonna take my child.
Adama: There were too many witnesses. They all said the same thing. Your daughter was lost. The Cylon merely kneeled down, was talking to her.
Athena: Maybe that's what it looked like to the others, sir, but I know.
Adama: Oh, you knew better.
Athena: I had a vision, a vision where the Six and Baltar were taking Hera away from me.
Adama: A vision.
Athena: It was more than just a vision, sir. When I saw them together, I knew that they would take her, that they would take away my child!
Adama: You murdered an unarmed woman, and by doing so you put the lives of every single person in this fleet at risk and quite possibly cost the lives of the president and your husband. You disobeyed the direct orders of a superior officer, but more importantly, you betrayed a promise to me. I trusted you.
| Lee: Captain Franks?
Lampkin: I was impressed by her gravitas during her turn as judge in the Baltar trial. That and her vote, naturally.
Lee: Yeah. She's already been approached to run for office. No interest in politics.
Lampkin: Sadly, now she really impresses me.
| Lampkin: Writs of forfeiture for the ships you're borrowing. The captains want to be absolved of any blame should anything untoward happen. One of the less ennobling consequences of a legal culture - no one wants responsibility.
