In Galactica's CIC, the crew is going about their routines when they see a trio of contacts appear on DRADIS. Kat and Kara are dispatched to intercept the vessels, which turn out to be a pair of Raiders chasing a third Raider that is damaged and flying erratically. Kara and Kat destroy the pursuing Raiders and move to engage the damaged one, but they are stopped when Bill hears a familiar voice over the comm channel, identifying himself as "Bulldog" and requesting clearance to come aboard. He orders Kat and Kara to escort the Raider in.
On the hangar deck, the command crew watches as a haggard man stumbles out of the Raider and salutes Bill, who salutes him in return. The man acknowledges himself as Daniel Novacek, a.k.a. "Bulldog", and tells him that he escaped the Cylons and discovered the fleet.
After his DNA records are cleared by Cottle, Bill and Bulldog catch up on old times. Bill asks him how he escaped, and Bulldog relates that he was able to overpower a copy of D'anna [[Recap/BattlestarGalactica2003S03E07AMeasureOfSalvation after a disease began to ravage the Basestar he was imprisoned on]].

When he arrives, he discovers Bulldog trying to beat Bill to death, and grabs the pilot off his friend. Tigh tells Bulldog that he was played by the Cylons, and that he has to let go of his anger towards Bill. Bulldog finally breaks down and realizes that his escape was all a set-up to have him attack and murder Bill.
Afterwards, a guilt-stricken Bill tries to present his resignation letter to Roslin, noting that he's let down the fleet. She tells him that he's being silly, and says the admirals of the Colonial Fleet were likely using him as a scapegoat to try and goad a war with the Cylons. She tells him that it's not his fault, and awards him with a medal for his years of service.
