The Return Of Starbuck

Airdate: May 4, 1980 Written by: Glen A. Larson Directed by: Ron Satlof Guest cast: Dirk Benedict (Lt. Starbuck), Judith Chapman (Angela), Rex Cutter (Cyrus ("Cy")), Elllen Gurkin (Girl on bridge), Gary Owens (voice of Cyrus ("Cy"))

At last, the fate of Starbuck is revealed. Prof. Zee was revealed in the premiere to be a mutant and a child genius. He has a dream about Starbuck, which he relates to Adama, who knows the story to be true.

Fourteen years earlier, while in a battle, Starbuck's Viper was gravely damaged, and Boomer watched him wildly fly towards a planet. The fleet could not go back for him, since the Cylons were on their tail. Starbuck crashed onto the barren planet, his ship all but destroyed. There he finds the remains of a Cylon fighter, of which one Cylon he is able to fix. He does this out of loneliness. Cy, as he names him, first wishes to kill Starbuck, because he is a human, but soon learns that they need each other, and they become friends (to both of their surprise). Then a mysterious pregnant woman appears, and Starbuck does his all to care for her, which makes Cy jealous. However, Cy helps Starbuck build a tiny ship out of the remains of both their ships, and after the woman gives birth, launches the baby into space, the mysterious woman is gone. It was surmised that she was from another dimension. Soon after, a Cylon patrol lands on the planet, and when they find Starbuck they attempt to kill him. However, Cy gives his life to save Starbuck, killing two of the Cylons before the third guns him down. Starbuck finishes off the third Cylon, but Cy is too far gone to be fixed. Starbuck is left alone again.

Adama reveals to Zee that he had come to the fleet in a small ship, and his identity is revealed.
