After engaging a group of Cylon Raiders, Captain Apollo crash-lands on a planet where a law-deriding thug by the name of Lacerta controls a seemingly indestructible henchman, who turns out to be a Cylon Centurion which everyone calls "Red Eye".

Uncertain as to why a Cylon would be on the planet and working for a human con man, Apollo decides to investigate. During his investigate he meets the young Puppis and his mother Vela. Vela is at first very suspicious of Apollo. Which Apollo later learns is due to her late husband being a Colonial warrior who was murdered by Red Eye. Apollo later learns that Lacerta found Red Eye among the wreckage of a crashed ship. Somehow, he reactivated the Centurion, whose programming got scrambled, and mistook Lacerta for its Imperious Leader.

Apollo returns to town where he confronts Lacerta who quickly calls Red Eye to his defense, and a western styled duel begins. Red Eye draws his gun, but Apollo is quicker on the draw and blasts the Centurion to oblivion. With his powerful henchman defeated, Lacerta is quickly run out of town.

Later, Vela helps Apollo retrieve the fuel from Marten's crashed Viper to refuel his ship. He says his goodbyes to her and Puppis and heads off into space. He is quickly found by Starbuck and Boomer, and guided back to the fleet.
