The 21st episode of Glen A. Larson’s science fiction series Battlestar Galactica airs on ABC. This is the end of the first season, and the last episode to feature the original characters; when Battlestar Galactica returns nearly a year later, it reflects dramatic budgetary and creative restrictions imposed upon Larson by ABC. 
A momentous opportunity arises for Galactica to slip through the perimeters of the Cylons’ defenses undetected, and Adama decides to risk it all to destroy the single Base Ship that stands in the way. Apollo and Starbuck board the Cylon vessel, using Baltar’s captured fighter, and sabotage the Cylons. But during their escape, Apollo and Starbuck lose a device which transmits the proper recognition signals from their Cylon ship. In the desperate firefight which follows, Adama’s forces gain the upper hand – but will anyone remember which captured Cylon fighter is being flown by Apollo and Starbuck?
