And then he's opening the lab door to a startled Dualla. Baltar explains that he talks to himself. Dualla tries to ignore the whole thing, and says that Baltar's wanted in CIC.
Baltar strolls into CIC, where Six is standing. She's wearing a very conservative gray dress with a high collar. Baltar smirks, "Ah, there you are. Very nice. Blouse could open up a button or two." Six sniffs, "Excuse me?" Adama rasps that a certain Miss Godfrey has made some accusations Baltar should hear. Baltar nods, and looks around the room asking where Miss Godfrey is. Tigh says, "She's standing right there." Baltar looks at Six out of the corner of his eye as she adds, "I'm right here." Baltar says, in a low voice, "Yeah, of course you are," and then looks at Adama with a questioning "Um?" Gaeta looks at Six and says, "This is Miss Godfrey." Six clears her throat pointedly. Baltar grins and declares, "You can all see her!" Tigh repeats, "She's standing right next to you." Hee. Baltar goes on grinning and nodding until Adama asks if anything's wrong. Baltar says no, and we're treated to a little montage of Six tossing Baltar on beds and against bulkheads and so on, for people who came in late. Baltar finally apologizes and tries to shake Godfrey's hand. She pulls back and snaps, "Don't touch me, you traitor!" Baltar blinks as Godfrey accuses him of letting the Cylons into the defense mainframe. She says, "I'm going to see to it that you're exposed and sentenced to death as the traitor you really are." Baltar looks around at Adama, and then we get another close-up shot of his eyes.
Credits. I'm just gonna say straight out that half of the fun of the episode comes from watching Baltar's face. I'll try to convey his expressions as best I can. Also, you know what's on while I'm writing this? Wild Things 2, followed by the "world premiere" of Wild Things 3. I know!
When we return, Baltar blusters that he's never seen Godfrey before. She explains that she was "a lowly systems analyst at the Defense Ministry," and that she worked with Dr. Amarak. Baltar's face: "Think of something to say, think of something to say!" Godfrey explains that, after the attack, Amarak told her that he had evidence linking Baltar to the Cylon attack. Baltar slowly catches on that this is serious, as Six reminds us that Amarak was trying to contact the Prez when he was killed. Baltar grumps, "How convenient that we only have your word for that." Baltar's face: "Yeah, that sounded like something an innocent person would say!" By way of reply, Godfrey hands Adama an octagonal CD. Baltar's face: "Eep." Adama says that the disk came from the Defense Ministry.
