'''Season 2, Episode 19:'''
!Lay Down Your Burdens, Part 1
After having her request [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S02E15Scar previously denied]], Kara is finally given permission by Roslin and Bill to plan an operation to rescue the resistance members still on Caprica.
Meanwhile, the presidential election is two weeks away, and Roslin and Baltar are jockeying for votes. In a meeting with Tom Zarek, his advisor, Baltar says that Roslin is ahead in the polls, and that his recent attempts to garner votes by accusing her of pandering to the religious fundamentalist demographic hasn't been enough. Despite Zarek's insistence that things will change, Baltar isn't convinced. At the samr time, Roslin is practicing her debate questions with Bill.
Kara plans out an operation that will utilize a fleet of 20 Raptors, which will make several jumps back to Caprica. The jumps are to be based on calculations that will be made by Sharon, who will be interfacing with the technology from the Cylon Heavy Raider in Kara's Raptor. Kara informs the participants that the mission will be scuttled if they lose more than 3 Raptors, and they get ready to leave.
On the hangar deck, Cally is searching for Tyrol and finds him sleeping on the ground, mumbling and shaking in his sleep.

On Galactica, a grief-stricken Tyrol voluntary goes for religious counseling, and is met by a priest named Brother Cavil, who is very sarcastic and wry with his observations. Tyrol contends that he hasn't been having recurring nightmares, but when pressed by Cavil, admits that he keeps having a dream where he jumps from the top of the hangar deck to his death.
Cavil and Tyrol talk further, and the former asks if Tyrol has an unconscious desire to kill himself. Tyrol says that he feared being a Cylon himself after Boomer's death, but Cavil retorts with the disturbing question that no one would really know if they're a sleeper agent or not until they're activated.
In the Galactica CIC, the crew go over the scans Racetrack brought back, and see that while the planet is very barren, it can sustain human life. Baltar and Zarek realize that this is the issue they can use to win the election.

Roslin is bitter, and realizes that people are voting on pure emotion rather than logic, even if the dangers are great and the Cylons could discover where they are.
Near Caprica, the fleet of Raptors makes its last jump into the atmosphere, but one of the Raptors phases inside a mountain. The remaining Raptors continue on and reach the planet's surface.
Roslin and Baltar take part in the final presidential debate, in front of onlookers and press outlets. While Roslin warns that they shouldn't lose sight of the goal to find Earth, Baltar's persuasive arguments and statements that the fleet doesn't have to run anymore leads to him pulling ahead further in the polls.
Kara, Sharon, Helo and a large group of Marines exit the Raptors and make their way towards the resistance hideout, only to be met midway by Anders and his men. Their joyous reunion is short-lived when Anders tells them that the group was attacked earlier, and is now on the run from the Cylons.
At that moment, the group comes under heavy fire from Centurions, forcing them all to run. As they make their way towards the Raptors to escape, they are impeded by artillery strikes in their path, pinning them down and making it impossible to reach safety...
!Tropes:
* BookEnds: As the penultimate episode of the season, it shares several similarities with the penultimate episode of the previous season, "Kobol's Last Gleaming, Part 1", including a Raptor being spectacularly destroyed (by a Raider crashing into one in the previous season, and phasing into a mountain in this episode), a character considering suicide because they think they might be a Cylon, Kara performing a dangerous DRADIS jump (using Cylon technology) to get back to Caprica and a great emphasis on conflicting political ideals within the fleet.
