Synopsis[]
"This Planet Hungers"[]
The Memory Machine induces another of Commander Adama's memories. While on patrol. Blue Squadron has encountered an unknown planet which appears to be alive. Starbuck and Apollo land and investigate the surface, where Apollo is attacked by strange, tentacled plants. Starbuck saves his wingmate, but on their return to the Galactica, it soon transpires that Apollo is spreading a plague. Starbuck and Zac are the first two victims, and according to one of the medical officers, the epidemic is being spread telepathically. Colonel Tigh has more bad news: the Galactica is being pursued by three Cylon Base Stars.
Apollo awakes from a nightmare and has come to a conclusion. He escapes from quarantine and won't let anyone stop him until he's reached the launching bay. He takes a Viper and heads for the organic planet sized being. The Galactica is trapped between the planet shaped being and the Base Stars. Tentacles from the organic planet reach out to the Galactica, rendering all of it's instrumentation useless. Vipers engage Cylon Raiders in battle. The tentacles reach for two of the Base Stars, causing them to collide with each other and explode. After defeating all the Cylons, the creature speaks with the Colonial Warrious through Apollo. It explains that the plague that the pilots contracted was a way to communicate with them, and that it's symptons will soon vanish. Adama realizes he misjudged the entire situation and feels ashamed.
Back in the present, Apollo remembers how his father was haunted by this incident for Yahrens afterward. Athena is afraid the Memory Inducer is killing their father, and a technician agrees that the Commander must be freed soon, or he will die.
