Baltar and Number Six argue over his lack of faith in God. Six continues to hound him about religion until Baltar finally says that he can't take it any more. Number Six disappears, and Baltar is awakened from the dream-state by a knock on his door.
It's Dualla, and she has been ordered to bring him to see Adama.
Baltar goes to see Adama, who is meeting Shelley Godfrey, a civilian from another ship - who looks exactly like Number Six. Baltar is dumbfounded and confused. Shelley/Six has told Adama that Baltar is the one who's been responsible for all of the Cylon infiltration and deadly explosions over the last several weeks. Baltar is horrified.
Shelley/Six announces that she can prove that Baltar is the traitor, and turns over a disc, which contains security photos of Baltar committing the crimes. Gaeta tells Adama that it will take ten hours to decode the disc.
Adama is conflicted about his feelings about Baltar's possible guilt, but insists Baltar's security privileges be suspended and work in the lab on the Cylon detector be suspended immediately until this is resolved. Baltar calls President Laura Roslin to plead his innocence. Laura fully believes that Baltar is not guilty. Laura collapses during the call. Billy panics and announces over the radio that she is sick..
Adama confronts Shelley/Six about how she obtained the disc. She subtly attempts to seduce Adama, leaning in for a kiss as she tells him how lonely she is. Adama doesn't bite, though; he's allured by her but suspicious.
Baltar corners Gaeta and attempts to smooth talk him into letting him into the lab. Gaeta won't let him in; that's where they are decoding the photo that will prove Baltar's guilt or innocence. Gaeta exits, as Six/Shelley enters the area. Baltar confronts her; he's truly confused - this can't be the same woman he has been having an affair with.
On Caprica, Cylon Sharon and Helo hide out from Cylons who have been tracking them. Despite herself, she almost reveals her feelings for Helo.
Sharon and other pilots discuss whether or not they think Baltar is guilty, as Kara and Tyrol try to get the Cylon Raider working again. Sharon gives them some advice about getting it running, which prompts suspicious looks. Sharon gets defensive; saying that just because she knows how to run a Raider doesn't mean she is a Cylon herself.
Baltar visits Adama to charge that "Shelley Godfrey" is actually a Cylon agent. Adama is now more conflicted. Baltar's behavior is definitely beyond eccentric, but Adama really wants to believe he's innocent. Baltar leaves in a state of high anxiety.
Gaeta decodes the photo and is shocked by what he sees. Baltar pulls a fire alarm, hoping this will gain him access to the lab. As the alarm signals, Gaeta leaves the lab and Baltar sneaks in and is horrified when he sees the picture of himself holding explosives on the monitor. He tries to delete the disk, but nothing works. Adama enters the lab and sees Baltar trying to erase the evidence that proves his guilt. Baltar asks for a lawyer.
On Cylon-occupied Caprica, hiding out in the woods, Cylon Sharon reveals her feelings for Helo and they make love.
Kara and Tyrol get the Cylon Raider running. The Cylon Raider is, itself, a living thing. Once Kara treats it like a horse and speaks to it, it responds to her commands to fly.
Laura visits Baltar in prison and expresses her disappointment in him. When she has left, Baltar pleads & prays to God above to help him out of his predicament, saying he will dedicate his life to God's service if he is freed from the situation. As he prays, the real Number Six appears. She tells Baltar that all will be well; she and God are with him now. Gaeta then appears to free Baltar. Gaeta says that somehow, the photograph was faked, and the person depicted was not Baltar at all. Also, Shelley Godfrey suddenly vanished without a trace, making Adama and Tigh suspect that she WAS a Cylon spy after all, trying to discredit Baltar for his work on the Cylon Detector.
The President holds a press conference to restore Baltar's innocence. Baltar slips back into a dream state and has passionate sex with Number Six, like he always used to.
