'''Season 3, Episode 9:'''
!Unfinished Business
To quell tensions within the fleet and help the crew let off some steam, Bill organizes a boxing tournament on Galactica, where pairs can fight in sanctioned matches and Tigh is acting as a referee.
One of the first matches has Lee face off against Helo. As the two combatants spar, Lee has flashbacks to his time on New Caprica, and remembers waking up on a patch of ground and looking around in confusion. Helo begins to pummel him, and Cottle stops the fight because of Lee's condition.
Elsewhere on the ship, Kara and Anders are talking in bed together, and he asks what the status of their marriage is. She dodges the question and leaves, but also has flashbacks to her laying on someone's chest with an expression of fear and confusion.
Bill and Kara both arrive at the ring in time to see the conclusion of Lee's match, while Roslin greets the senior Adama and tells him how much she loves boxing. As he's leaving the ring, Lee has another flashback to kissing Dualla.
Bill reminsces on his own, remembering a moment he shared with Roslin on the planet. They sit together and talk about how beautiful the planet is, and she squeezes his arm in appreciation.
Another match is organized between Kara and Hot Dog. After Hot Dog brags about what a great boxer he is and takes a few shots at her, she lays him out cold with a single, well-timed punch, then exits the ring. As she leaves, she flashes back to a number of the command crew holding a dance.
Bill is watching the fights when a member of the deck crew comes up to complain to Tyrol about a Viper that needs repairs. Tyrol brushes the complaint off, and Bill has a flashback to a conversation he had with the deck chief. During their talk, Tyrol asks Bill if he can settle down with Cally on the planet. Bill denies it. Later, Bill changes his mind when Roslin tells him all the crew should be able to live a normal life, and begrudgingly grants Tyrol's request.
In the present, Bill challenges Tyrol to a match. In the ring, Bill coldcocks the deck chief in the face just as the match begins, and they begin sparring. Tyrol gets angered and begins mercilessly punching Bill. Roslin is concerned, but Bill tells her during a break in the match that he's being beat up deliberately, and that he's not looking to win.
Kara has another flashback where she is at the dance with Lee. Anders is drunk, and Dualla is off-planet, and Kara becomes intimate with Lee. They leave the dance and make love at a campsite outside the settlement, then wake up a short while later. Both of them take turns yelling out that they love one another to the night sky, though Kara is clearly uncomfortable about it. They go back to sleep, but Kara wakes up later, gets dressed and leaves, while Lee wakes up alone in the morning.
Lee walks back to camp and sees his father, who tells him that Kara got married to Anders. Lee is in shock, but hides his emotions when he runs into the newlyweds. He shakes Anders' hand and tells him he'll need all the luck he can get.
In the present, Tyrol knocks a bloodied Bill to the ground. Bill stands up and addresses a shocked Tyrol and the crowd, telling them that he failed all of them by letting them get too close, and that it is a mistake he will not repeat again. He leaves the ring with Roslin and Cottle.
With the mood of the crowd soured, Tigh calls off the matches, but he is interrupted by Kara calling out Lee. In the ring, and with their respective spouses watching, Lee and Kara begin beating each other and the fight escalates due to the absence of the referee. As they continue to act more and more violent with each other, the remaining crowd leaves in disgust. Anders and Dualla realize what is happening and both leave in anger.
Exhausted, Lee and Kara fall into each other's arms, and they both confess that they missed each other...

* ConflictBall: Tyrol, normally the most dependable guy in the fleet, turns into a slacker so Bill can teach everyone an {{Aesop}} about taking their responsibilities seriously.
