The guard from before goes upstairs and tells another guard, "It's time for your break." And then Guard #1 clobbers Guard #2 and knocks him out, then turns off the cameras monitoring the prisoners. Ruh-roh.
Wilkins watches his monitors fill with static while Deanna and Billy continue arguing about Zarek.
Apollo puts on his sincere puppy-dog face as he tells Zarek that they're offering the prisoners a chance to earn their freedom. Zarek nods, "Now you've said the truth. Freedom is earned." I think Zarek took way too many Sociology classes. Listen, dude, you don't have to earn freedom, but it might get taken away if you, oh, I don't know, blow up buildings as a half-assed political protest.
The guard opens up a row of cells, and the prisoners begin to stream out. Apollo starts to look around at the noise, and Zarek reassures him, "Stay where you are, Captain. It'll all be over soon."
Wilkins is still puzzling over his monitors when the door opens and the guard enters, along with several armed prisoners.
The cells on Zarek's aisle are opened, and when the prisoners there exit, Apollo jumps out and, seriously, tries to beat them all up by himself. Ha! He does okay for a minute or so, but pretty soon he's tackled and it's all over but the pummeling. Apollo's a nice boy, but not the brightest. Zarek reclines on his cot contemplatively.
After the ads, Apollo returns to consciousness to find several armed prisoners standing over him. The Evil Guard is reporting to Zarek that the guards and ship's crew have been placed in cells. Zarek svengalis, "I knew I could count on you."
Dualla and Billy are put in neighboring cells by the prisoners. Dualla tells Billy to "stay frosty." Yay for Aliens shout-outs! From another cell nearby, Cally insists that the prisoners don't want to hurt them: "That won't get them what they want." Billy asks, "Which is what?" I'm guessing cocoa, personally.
Galactica. Baltar is wandering around, probably asking if anyone needs to borrow a cup of crazy. He runs into Starbuck and Boxey, and says it's nice to see her. Starbuck coos, "Good to see you, too!" Baltar says, "Really?" which is a little bit odd, but then again, so he is he. Starbuck, in the same seductive tone: "No!" She and Boxey trade giggling high fives as they move on. Baltar just looks confused. Hee. But then Six, wearing a negligee, says "Aw" in his ear. Baltar wonders if Starbuck's a natural blonde. Six says, "I doubt it." I wonder if Six's nightgown should be considered Cylongerie. Sorry.
