Lab. Baltar answers his phone, "Doctor Gaius Baltar, department of Cylon detection. How may I direct your call?" After a beat, the Prez replies, "You're in a good mood." We now see that Baltar is smoking a cigarette of some kind, which might explain a few things. Baltar apologizes and claims that he was expecting a call from someone else. Oookay. Who? Maybe Starbuck, I guess. The Prez says that she'd like Baltar to notify her the minute he has the results of Adama's Cylonitude test. Baltar nervously mentions that Adama ordered his test canceled. He explains that Adama said another test had priority. The Prez asks who's. Baltar pulls out a vial and reads the name "Ellen" off the label, and asks if there's a problem. The Prez uses her Extra-Serious voice to say, "I would like you to resume testing Commander Adama's blood sample immediately. Thank you."
Tigh's quarters. Ellen disengages from a massive hug as Tigh gasps, "I can't believe you're alive." Ellen expositions that she doesn't actually remember most of what happened to her since the attack. Tigh asks if she's been on the Rising Star all this time, because he's not too clear on what "I don't remember" means. Ellen shares her story: she was at the airport on Picon when they heard about the attack, and that's pretty much the last thing she remembers. She says that she woke up a few days ago: "I was knocked out when the Cylons attacked the airport and someone just picked me up, and put me on the last flight out. Some savior, I don't even know who." She sniffles. Tigh assures her that everything's okay now.
The Cylon Raider zooms along. Pretty. A Viper coasts along near it.
CIC. Starbuck tells Adama and Tyrol that the Raider is a "treasure chest." Yarrr! She figures that studying the Raider as it hops around will help them to figure out how to operate the FTL drive on the captured Raider. Tyrol says, "But the question remains, what's it doing out there in the first place, and how long can they keep it up?" Adama tells them to let him know as soon as they've gotten the data they need. Apollo pops around a corner and asks Adama what's up. Adama dismisses Starbuck and Tyrol and asks Apollo, "Do you have dinner plans?" Apollo boggles at getting a dinner invitation. Adama, already weary of his passive-aggressive kid, tells Apollo to come along.
