Plot Summary:

Two Viper pilots return to the Galactica from a space mission to a nearby planet where they pick up a highly contagious disease. Eager to attend the engagement party of Apollo, they skip decontamination procedures. Meanwhile, Starbuck and Apollo discover a huge magnetic void.

Within hours, every Viper pilot is stricken with the mysterious disease. Apollo and Starbuck, who had not yet arrived at the party, have escaped contamination and must now lead a group of inexperienced shuttle pilots to fly the Galctica's defensive patrols.

As the Cylon basestar, under the command of Baltar, forces the Galactica into the void, Apollo and Serina are married.

At the end of the void, the Galactica comes upon the planet Kobol, the legendary birthplace of humanity. There, as Adama searches for information about locating Earth, Baltar launches his surprise Cylon attack.
