History Recap / BattlestarGalactica2003S04E09TheHub

* TheGadfly: D'Anna {{Troll}}s Laura by telling her she's one of the Final Five and letting her sit with the knowledge for several seconds before admitting she's lying.

'''Bill:''' About time.

* TheyDo: Adama and Roslin finally admit their feelings to each other.

* WholePlotReference: The plot shares many similarities with "[[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S02E12ResurrectionShipPart2 Resurrection Ship, Part II]]", including a joint military operation being conducted, the two sides having a tenuous alliance, a Cylon resurrection facility being attacked and both sides planning to double-cross each other.

* TheGadfly: D'Anna trolls Laura by telling her she's one of the Final Five and letting her sit with the knowledge for several seconds before admitting she's lying.

* NeckSnap: D'Anna breaks Cavil's neck after hearing the Hub is going to be destroyed, making all Cylon deaths permanent.

Roslin experiences several visions as the ship jumps. She sees herself walking in a corridor and is greeted by Elosha, [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S2E06HomePart1 the priest who died on Kobol]]. Roslin warmly greets her and asks what's going on. Elosha and Roslin walk through Galactica to its sickbay. They see Roslin lying in grave health on one of the beds, and surrounded by Dr. Cottle, Bill, Lee and Kara, before the vision ends.

* ContrivedCoincidence: Cavil and Boomer unbox D'Anna at the same time that the Colonials and rebel Cylons attack the Resurrection Hub, which, [[{{Lampshade}} as Helo notes to Roslin]], means they don't have to go to the trouble of finding her a body when they retrieve her before blowing the Hub. The Colonial-rebel alliance forces know this ahead of time because the rebel Basestar's Hybrid reveals D'Anna is back.

D'Anna is brought to Roslin despite the Eight's objections. When asked about who the Final Five are, D'Anna says that she will only reveal it once they're back with ''Galactica'' and the fleet, and that the subterfuge was a waste of time because she'd have said the same thing if the rebel Cylons were present.

Afterwards, Helo and Roslin meet in private. She asks him to bring the unboxed D'anna directly to her after they secure the Hub, and not to the other Cylons. Meanwhile on the Hub, Cavil and Boomer unbox D'anna, who is understandably confused about the situation and the ongoing Cylon civil war.

On the Basestar, the Viper pilots and Cylon pilots (including several copies of Sixes and Eights) agree to put aside their differences and trust each other so they can finish the mision. Elsewhere on the ship, Baltar tries to question the Hybrid to little success. Roslin watches as he storms off in frustration, but the Hybrid suddenly shouts out that D'anna has been unboxed and jumps the Basestar again to the Hub.

Cavil and Boomer are alarmed by the arrival of the rebel Basestar. They ask D'anna to calm the rebels down, but she threatens to reveal the names of the Final Five instead. When Cavil realizes that the rebels are going to destroy the Hub, D'anna breaks his neck while Boomer runs away in fear.

Helo and the Eight disembark the Raptor and find D'anna, then bring her back to the Raptor. Once they leave, he orders the Vipers to destroy the Hub. They fire nuclear missiles into the Hub, destroying it and one of the defending Basestars.

D'anna is brought to Roslin despite the Eight's objections. When asked about who the Final Five are, D'anna says that she will only reveal it once they're back with ''Galactica'' and the fleet.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: When the Basestar catches up to Bill's Raptor the constellations seen through the window include Orion, Tauras and Gemini, indicating that the fleet is closing in on Earth.

* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: D'anna lampshades the Eights' tendency towards this by quipping that Boomer will be loyal to Cavil "until she sees something shiny".
* ILied: Cavil responds this way when the newly-downloaded D'anna reminds him that he said she'd never go through the process again. D'anna quickly counters that he genuinely believed it at the time and is lying ''now''.

* MoralMyopia: Cavil angrily comments that the rebels are going to commit "mass murder", despite being part of the race that orchestrated the massacre and destruction of the Colonies.

* NeckSnap: D'anna breaks Cavil's neck soon after being awoken.

* RelationshipUpgrade: After three and a half seasons of a friendship that blossomed slowly but surely into the love of a lifetime, Laura Roslin finally comes clean with her feelings for Bill:

* TheBusCameBack: D'anna returns after being "boxed" in the previous season.

* HeelFaceRevolvingdoor: D'anna lampshades the Eights' tendency towards this by quipping that Boomer will be loyal to Cavil "until she sees something shiny".

* MetaphoricalMarriage: Laura's visions culminate in Bill [[WeddingRingRemoval taking off his wedding ring]] and slipping it onto her finger.

* RelationshipUpgrade: After three and a half years of a friendship that blossomed slowly but surely into the love of a lifetime, Laura Roslin finally comes clean with her feelings for Bill:

--> Laura: I love you.
--> Bill: About time.

The rebels deploy squadrons of Heavy Raiders and Vipers, which begin attacking the Hub and its defending Basestars. They destroy the Hub's FTL drive, and Helo and a copy of Eight dock with it using a Raptor. Elsewhere, a Raptor pilot is heavily damaged and [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E08SinaQuoNon jumps back to the fleet as he's hit with fatal weapons fire in his cockpit]].

Onboard the Rebel Basestar, the Hybrid is reconnected and [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E07GuessWhatsComingToDinner immediately jumps the ship away from Galactica and the rest of the fleet]].

The Hybrid is stabilized and a copy of Eight reports that it was in distress [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S04E08SineQuaNon due to something that happened to Natalie aboard Galactica]]. The Eight then says that the Hybrid is following the Resurrection Hub, and that they should plan out their attack strategy.

D'anna is brought to Roslin despite the Eight's objections. When asked about who the Final Five are, D'anna says that she will only reveal it once they're back with Galactica and the fleet.
