"You are the harbinger of death, Kara Thrace. You will lead them all to their end" The Hybrid scares Kara by outlining her destiny to her

As Laura Roslin endures chemotherapy, she meets another patient, Emily Kowalski, who is near death. Roslin is dismayed that Emily relies on Gaius Baltar's radio broadcasts for comfort. Emily reveals that Baltar's sermons closely echo a visionary dream of the afterlife she experienced, and she now wonders if Baltar is divinely inspired.

Aboard the Demetrius, Helo's mutiny against Kara ends abruptly when Anders, defending his wife, shoots Gaeta in the leg. Shocked to their senses, everyone rallies to give Gaeta first aid, and Kara strikes a deal with Helo. With only 15 hours left in which to rendezvous with Galactica, Kara, Leoben, Anders, Sharon and Barolay fly a Raptor to the location where Leoben claims that a Cylon baseship waits to meet them. If they don't return before the clock runs out, Helo and the Demetrius will jump back to the fleet without them.

Kara's team finds the single surviving baseship adrift amid the wreckage of the battle between the Cylons. The scene matches Kara's visions exactly. The Cylon called Natalie reluctantly accepts the conditions of Leoben's proposed human-Cylon alliance: Kara will visit the ship's hybrid while the Cylons use the Raptor's systems to supplement their damaged FTL drive. The deal is threatened when old hostilities flare up between Barolay and another Six in a confrontation that leaves both women dead.

Kara visits the hybrid, which prophesises that the final five Cylons may know about Earth and also that Kara is “the harbinger of death”. Meanwhile, the Demetrius is prepping to leave. Seconds before the jump, the baseship arrives and Athena reports that it is under their control. Both ships prepare to rejoin Galactica and the fleet.
