When we left off at the end of last week's episode, the Minnesota Twins had come from behind to beat the Kansas City Royals, and the Cylons had mysteriously broken off their attack on a vulnerable Fleet. But Kara Thrace was holding a gun on laura Roslin, and the Royals were holding on to first place in the Central Division of the American League.
This week's episode started off well, with the Twins jumping off to a quick lead over the Royals, led by some clutch hitting from Denard Span and Carlos Gomez. Starbuck relenquished her attack on the President, and was hauled off to a prison cell.
Justin Morneau added a homerun to increase the Twins lead, While Livan Hernandez confused Royals hitters, and dissension broKe out amongst the Cylon elite. Cavil's plan to re-configure and lobotomize the raiders was opposed by D'Anna. A vote ended in a tie, until, the Cylon nicknamed Boomer switched her vote, against her own type, and sided with Cavil.
On Galactica the pilots were having a party, spurred on by bthe Cylon's withdrawal and the news that Hernedez had completed seven shutout innings against the Royals. Adama and Roslin debated their competing views on the status of Starbuck, but for the Twins there was no dissension as Crain came in to pitch a scoreless eighth inning.
The Cylons however, were not so lucky. D'Anna interrupted a Council meeting to demand that the re-configuring of the raiders be halted. When Cavil once again refused, she revealed that, acting on her own, she had upgraded the centurions, and they weren't happy with Cavil.
As the centurions attacked the Council, Adama'smisgivings lead him to release Starbuck from her cell, and give her a ship. As she left to search for earth, Joe nathan was mowing down the Royals in the ninth, preserving the shutout and a 5 - 0 Twins victory. The night ended with the Twins gaining ground on the Royals, leaving Kansas City and the Cylons in ignominy. There's along season ahead, but for now, at least, Kara is off to find Earth, and the Twins are in pursuit of first place in the American League Central.
