Complete story — includes the ending

With the human fleet running dangerously low on "tylium", the main component of the fleet's fuel, humans discover a heavily guarded Cylon-controlled asteroid with large tylium deposits. The Galactica crew plan an ambitious operation to destroy the Cylon base and capture the asteroid. Baltar suggests hitting a specific spot to destroy the base without damaging the tylium ore, but does not know which spot to choose. Six advises him to seek guidance from God, and Baltar points to a random structure on the map. Mysteriously, he ends up being right; humans succeed and celebrate. Six tells Baltar that God ensured his guess to be correct. Meanwhile, Roslin hallucinates of snakes due to her anti-cancer medication. Priestess Elosha tells her about an ancient prophecy mentioning a "dying leader" who would bring humans to the new home. On Caprica, Helo and Sharon hide in an abandoned barn as Sharon gets sick. They spot a passing Cylon patrol led by a copy of Six and run away. Unaware of the existence of humanoid Cylons, Helo gets confused, since he already saw another copy of Six killed by Sharon.
