Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

The fleet has jumped toward the Ionian Nebula, a landmark that is said to point the way to planet Earth, and now the citizens aboard the Battlestar have begun to exhibit some most unusual behavior. As Roslin attempts to make sense of some especially vivid dreams, Tigh and Anders strive to make out a bizarre song though the static on the radio and Baltar appears to become something of a religious figure in certain circles. But Baltar is still being tried for treason, and as Admiral Adama takes his seat on the judge's tribunal, his son Lee takes his place by defense attorney Romo Lampkin. Meanwhile, Racetrack claims that a Cylon force is stalking the fleet from afar. Adama, Tigh, and Roslin must act fast in order to avert a crisis, and as they do Lee notices something peculiar about Roslin's tea. When Tigh questions Caprica Six about the pursuing Cylons, she informs the colonel that the Cylons are tracking them by following a strange radiation signal emitted by the fleet's fuel ships. Subsequently tormenting Tigh with questions about his deceased wife, Caprica Six drives him to hit the bottle just before he takes the stand. As a result, Lampkin is easily able to shatter Tigh's credibility. Laura Roslin's testimony against Baltar, however, proves so damaging that Lampkin must call a recess. In the aftermath, Adama and Lee clash and Lee resigns his commission. Now a civilian, Lee cross-examines Laura and reveals that the tea she's been drinking is a hallucinogen. But Laura claims to be taking the drug for medicinal purposes -- namely because her cancer has returned.
