Episode Recap:

In the third episode, Chief, Tigh and Tori struggle with keeping their identities hidden. Meanwhile, Callie (Chief’s wife) is having emotional issues and is unable to sleep. She begins to fear that Chief’s lack of intimacy and frequent leavings during the middle mean only one thing, he’s having an affair.

Lee takes his position as the representative for Caprica in the Quorum of Twelve. Taking advice from Zarek, Lee confronts Roslin about her directive to find the collaborators and put them on trial (season three episode “Collaborators”).

Aboard the Demetrius, Starbuck is still trying to find her way back to Earth. With her are: Seelix, Anders, Geta, Sharon, Helo, Anders, Hotdog and some other pilot. Not everyone is happy with Starbuck’s command. There’s possible trouble brewing amongst the crew. Anders and Starbuck have rough sex.

Back on Galactica, Callie continues her downward sprial into emtional mayhem. She finds a note, telling Chief to meet at a new place. She follows Chief… and what she finds… horrifies her. She hits Chief with a wrench in their quarters before heading to the airlock to commit suicide with little Nicky in her arms. Tori stops her.

But in the end, Tori ends up sending Callie out the airlock.
