Synopsis[]

"This is the one..."[]

This is the one where the Cylons aboard a Cylon Basestar contract a virus that bears similarities to encephalitis, but is otherwise harmless to humans provided they are given a vaccination. Several of the ill Cylons are brought aboard the Galactica where they are treated by Doctor Cottle. Lee comes up with the idea of using the virus to wipe out the threat of the Cylons once and for all, but Helo challenges him, citing that to do so would be a crime against humanity.
