Vella is about to depart with a resentful Puppis in a horse-drawn carriage when Apollo has second thoughts. The warrior retrieves his blaster and, much to his hostess' chagrin, confronts LaCerta. Red-Eye appears, and Apollo wins the gun draw. The Cylon falls in a shower of sparks. In space, Starbuck keeps encouraging Boomer to stretch their probe a little further in pursuit of Apollo.
Boomer warns that they are nearing the point of no return.
Apollo's ship emerges from Equellis, and the three Vipers head for home. It is a dubious endeavor. Granted, it is time that action-adventure television showed a hero who was understandably afraid and worried about children being exposed to violence. In the end, Apollo doesn't even want to tell his fellow warriors what happened. To use of LaCerta and Marco as frontier tyrants was a waste.
