EPISODE: ''Exodus, Part 1''
ORIGINAL AIR DATE: Oct. 16, 2006
SURVIVORS REMAINING: Unknown

PLOT SUMMARY: Tyrol finds out about the plans to execute the detainees and sets out with a rescue team to save them. Sharon's team takes out the Cylons ambushing the resistance fighters and they find a map that Anders drew in the pockets of one of the Cavils. Anders puts two and two together and figures out that Ellen sold them out. D'Anna has weird dreams that lead her to a Colonial oracle who tells her that Boomer and Helo's daughter, Hera, is still alive. D'Anna later tells Sharon this when she catches the turncoat Cylon stealing keys for ships on the ground, but all D'Anna gets for her trouble are shots to the legs. Roslin charges Anders with making sure that Hera and her surrogate mother get off the planet. Tigh is confronted with Ellen's betrayal. In outer space, Apollo and Adama argue whether to mount the high-risk rescue. Adama sends Apollo and Pegasus away to maintain the human race in case the rescue mission fails.

CRITIQUE: It's another setup episode that moves the story along but lacks the emotional impact of the next one. Still, there's nothing like the sight of Tigh's one remaining eye bugging out when he learns of Ellen's duplicity.

GRADE: B — Abby West
