Tyrol enters the strange hot tub room, and Boomer hurries up to kiss him. Tyrol mutters, "No, no, no," and then snaps, "We're done," without meeting her eyes. She asks what he means. Tyrol finally looks at her directly, and says that he loves her, then turns to leave. Boomer demands an explanation. Tyrol explains that Gallant's in the brig because of their relationship: "No more secrets, no more lies. It's over." Boomer can't believe he's dumping her. Tyrol gets fed up at that, and snaps, "I cover for you, I protect you. I risk my career, my freedom, my integrity -- for what?" He roars, "So some innocent kid, one of my kids, can take the fall for me? No!" He chills out a little and says that their relationship isn't worth that. Boomer harumphs, "Guess I'll see you around," and exits. As she gets to the door, Tyrol says he's got a question: "Did you leave the hatch coaming open last night?" Boomer glares at him and asks if he's accusing her of helping the Cylons. Tyrol says he's not accusing her, but he thinks he deserves an answer. Boomer glares some more, and looks a little bit tearful as she snaps, "You have the only answer you're ever gonna get." She stomps off. Man, even the Cylons are lousy liars. Wouldn't a tearful "Yes, but it was an accident!" look more plausible when Tyrol knows she went through that hatch? Tyrol stares into space. Watch your back, Tyrol. I like Tigh and all, but you're cuter.
