Episode Synopsis: After a flight deck accident kills 13 pilots and wounds many others, Kara is thrust into service as a flight instructor and ordered to turn a group of civilian pilots and academy washouts into full-fledged Viper pilots.
The assignment brings back painful memories for Kara. She can’t forget how she let Zak, Commander Adama’s son and her lover, pass Basic Flight when he wasn’t ready, and how it ultimately cost him his life. Determined never to repeat the mistake, she flunks out the would-be pilots on their first day.
She is immediately confronted, first by Lee, then by Adama, and forced to admit to the Commander her role in Zak’s death. Adama orders her to continue training the “nuggets.” Meanwhile, Sgt. Hadrian continues her investigation into the detonators found in Sharon’s spacecraft, and President Roslin consults the ship’s doctor about her cancer.
Far away on Cylon-occupied Caprica, Sharon and Helo find a secret cache of food.
