Ellen and Boomer escaped Cavil’s base ship last week. Do they stay on Galactica or do the cylons leave to re-create the 13th tribe? Here’s what happened on this week’s episode of Battlestar Galactica: “Deadlock.”

Warning! Spoiler Alert!

Adama spends most of this episode looking after Galactica as it gets repaired by cylon workmen with cylon technology. He’s depressed about the whole thing.

Caprica-Six gets attacked while passing through the lower deck of Galactica – Dogsville – where New Caprica’s refugees reside. She beats up her attackers but is worried about her baby. Cottle tells her the baby is fine, but throughout the episode she experiences pain. While wandering through the ship, she’s approached by Roslin who congratulates her on the baby and asks her if she’s had any visions. She hasn’t had any since she got pregnant.

Gaius tries to join his cult again but finds that they’re being led by Paulla now. They’ve got their own guns and food. Later, while the cult passes through Dogsville, he sees the poor and declares that he will give them his cult’s food. Paulla is pissed but Gaius hands out the food anyway. Soon the Sons of Aries come and take the food away. Gaius is afraid that Paulla will take away his spot as leader of the cult and sees Virtual Six again. She feeds him lines for a speech and he becomes the cult’s leader again. Gaius goes to Adama and tells him about the unstable conditions in Dogsville and convinces him to give the cult even bigger guns.

Ellen and Boomer board Galactica. Tigh and Ellen kiss and Boomer is taken to the brig. Ellen tells Adama, Roslin, Lee and Tigh about Cavil’s desire to create another resurrection ship. She requests to see the rest of the five and Roslin, Adama and Lee go to discuss the situation. In the meantime Ellen and Tigh have sex. Tigh later tells her he’s been with Caprica-Six. Ellen is furious.

She later visits Tory, the Chief and an unconscious Anders in the hospital. She’s still upset about Caprica-Six and Tigh having sex and grows even angrier when she finds out Caprica-Six is pregnant. Tory brings up the idea that all of the cylons should jump away and recreate the 13th tribe. Tory and the Chief vote yes, Tigh and Anders vote no (they assume Anders would say no based on what he said in the last episode). The deciding vote is Ellen’s – if she votes yes everyone must go, if she votes no they will all stay with Galactica. But she can’t decide at the moment.

Ellen goes to Tigh’s and Caprica-Six’s quarters. She inspects the room and informs Caprica-Six that she had sex with Tigh. She’s jealous that Caprica-Six is pregnant – Ellen and Tigh tried in their previous life but never succeeded. She assumes it’s because Tigh didn’t love her. Ellen mentions that Simon would be interested in the baby. Caprica-Six takes this as a threat.

Tigh and Ellen later get into an argument about how much he loves Caprica-Six. Ellen feels replaced. She meets with the five and Caprica-Six and tells them they will all leave Galactica. Tigh refuses to go with them but Ellen slyly tells him it’ll be better for Caprica-Six and the baby to live with other cylons. Tigh still refuses and tells Caprica-Six to go with the rest of them. Caprica-Six looks worried and Ellen tells her she’ll always be second to the Adama and Galactica. Tigh and Ellen get into another argument but they stop when Caprica-Six collapses.

Caprica-Six is in the hospital. The baby’s heart rate is low. Ellen seems genuinely sorry and says she only wanted to hurt Tigh. She ensures Caprica-Six that Tigh really does love her and she promises her she’ll go away with the rest of the cylons and leave her alone. Caprica-Six begs Cottle to cut the baby out, but Cottle tells her it won’t survive – it doesn’t. A sobbing Tigh is comforted by Adama.

In the hospital, Anders’ brain shows signs of activity.

Quote of the Week: “I’m gone for three minutes and you’re lapping up Paulla’s pragmatism.” – Gaius

Opinion: How did Boomer know where Galactica was? It was interesting to see a jealous side of Ellen – especially after seeing how caring she was towards Cavil. I don’t really understand why she was so upset with Tigh. It’s not as if he knew Ellen was still alive (and that he was her thousand-year husband) when he slept with Six.

Next Week: Starbuck is wondering what she is. She sees a vision of a little blonde girl playing the piano all alone in the hangar deck. They want to try Boomer for treason. The Chief begs them not to kill her. A ship blows up and there’s a scene of Boomer crying.
