Still, it buys Helo and Tyrol a temporary reprieve.

Admiral Cain then turns her attention to Starbuck.

Cain is clearly impressed too, because she promotes Starbuck to Captain.

Its Roslin, however, who fears the long game here.

Because already, theres little doubt that shed do the same to Adama, should the chance arise.

Just who were supposed to be the Cylons, again?

Those two are clearly bonding, and the other Number 6 aint happy.

But then we get to that cliffhanger.

And thats where they leave you.

Hes not keen on it, and pops off to see his father, who reaffirms the order.

The vicious beating is eventually stopped by Fisk, who clearly is no fan of Helo and Tyrol.

But he interjects nonetheless.

The big battle itself then gets underway, but I found this the least interesting part of the episode.

Still, hes eventually rescued, but only after the paddles are applied to his chest.

How much damage will that have done, I wonder?

She, though, is in desperate straits, and asks him to kill her.

He refuses, questioning whether instead shed rather have justice.

Thats something thats going to have devastating consequences, as Baltar eventually helps her to escape.

Before that, both Adama and Cain are revealed to have abandoned the respective assassination orders.

I never figured, though, that Number 6 would come along and shoot Admiral Cain, either.

But when it was Number 6, I was left thinking theres no way out for Cain.

Actually, thats just what they did, although Cain jumped to my Cylon suspicion list as a result.

She then has a natter with Lee, who reveals he really did want to die after all.

Theres some leftover business to deal with.

Roslin promotes Adama to Admiral, with Colonel Fisk getting a promotion too.

Then, out of the blue, Adama and Roslin very briefly kiss.
