Complete story — includes the ending

A copy of Leoben Conoy is captured in the fleet after he appears in Roslin's dream. On Roslin's orders, Starbuck is sent to interrogate Leoben. Leoben tells Starbuck he planted a nuclear bomb set to explode soon. She tortures him for information about the bomb, but instead he talks about God, the soul and the cyclical nature of time. Leoben tells Starbuck that humans are destined to find Kobol and then Earth. After Leoben calls upon Roslin in her dream, she comes and promises him freedom. He reveals there is no bomb and tells her that "Adama is a Cylon". Roslin orders to put him out the airlock. Starbuck prays for his soul. Meanwhile, Boomer wants to prove to both herself and Tyrol that she is not a Cylon; she goes to Baltar to get tested. The test reveals that she is a Cylon, but Baltar, afraid of her reaction, tells her she is not. On Caprica, Sharon reports to Doral and Six that she had sex with Helo. They order her to take him to a cabin nearby and keep him there, or kill him otherwise. Instead, Sharon runs away with Helo to keep him safe.
