Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When a group of refugees board Galactica with a curable illness, it becomes very mysterious when they begin to die after taking the injection they do not believe in.
Our Take
A middling hour that feels like a detour, mostly because Helo’s standalone investigation doesn’t connect to anything larger happening this season. Still, it gives Helo something meaty to do and his stubborn decency plays well against the episode’s cynicism about prejudice and medical shortcuts. Worth watching for the character work, but nobody will call it essential.
