Who do you know, and who can you trust. These issue intersect in three stories this episode. In the primary action story, the team, minus Grey and Red Cap (marking the second episode in a row in which she does not appear), attempts to extricate the leader of a revolution is an unidentified country that [...]
Wow. After watching this episode, I’m stocking up on duct tape and bottled water. The team and their families find themselves in the middle of a poisonous gas attack.

Spoiler Alert If you haven’t yet seen the final episode of Battlestar Galactica and plan to do so, stop.
