In this episode of Battlestar Galactica, the entire crew has been on alert for the cylons (who attack every 33 minutes) and have to jump. Some character development changes are Sharon, also known as Boomer, has some difficult time adjusting to her new task and life without her partner (who was left on a different planet). She also experiences the thoughts and actions of a cylon; because she is the #6 cylon. Another character that experiences some development is the son of the commander, Lee Adama. Specifically, this character has a hard time adjusting to being the leader of the entire fleet. He acts more like a friend, rather than the man in charge.
Water
In this episode, Boomer finds her self to be a different person where she cannot recall where she was and what she did on the previous day. As she is wiping her face off from water, she notices a bomb and detonator inside her duffle bag. As she returns it to the master of arms center, she discovers that six bombs were missing. Later, the 5 bombs are set off in the water tanks of the Galactica. In fear of her life, she gets the chief who she is in love with to try and help her cover up the fact that she may have been the one to set the explosives. One could suggest that her actions throughout this episode can be seen as cylon like, which we know she is one from pervious episodes.
Lee, however, had to destroy the Olympic carrier due to a belief that it carried atomic explosives and which may have carried some passengers on board. Previous to this situation, his friend warned him about becoming more of a leader instead of a companion. With this in mind he did not have a difficult time of deciding to shoot down the carrier ship. Due to his actions, he feels great remorse because of what he did and cannot get passed it. After a few days, the President of Colonie asks him to be her military advisor and at this point, is feeling a little bit better about the situation.
