Nana Visitor as Emily
"Faith" is the eighth episode in the fourth season of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica. It first aired on television on May 9, 2008. The episode guest starred actress Nana Visitor, best known for her role as Kira Nerys on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The survivor count shown in the title sequence is 39,675.
The episode begins aboard the Demetrius, as Helo refuses to obey Captain Starbuck's orders to rendezvous with Leoben's Basestar. Starbuck tries to initiate the FTL jump herself but is restrained by Athena. Helo tells Gaeta to initiate the jump to the fleet, but Anders prevents it by shooting Gaeta in the leg. Anders forcefully reminds Helo that Starbuck is still in command.
Horrified by the outcome of the situation, Starbuck finally agrees that taking the Demetrius is too risky and will instead take a Raptor. Anders volunteers to go with her, and Starbuck asks Athena to go as well, hoping she will alert them of any traps. Helo states the Raptor doesn't have enough fuel to return to the fleet, but Starbuck believes she can return with the Basestar. Helo gives her a 15-hour window before he returns to the fleet.
On Colonial One, President Roslin talks with her aide Tory Foster. She commends Tory, who has stepped up with more confidence in her duties and asks her to keep an eye on every issue. Because of her declining health, Roslin is unable to handle every detail herself.
Meanwhile, Starbuck's Raptor jumps to the middle of a Basestar graveyard. As she searches, Starbuck feels close to something and guides the Raptor to the sight of a ringed gas giant with three stars and a comet – the comet being, to Starbuck's astonishment, Leoben's Basestar as it trails vapor behind it. Suddenly, the Raptor is struck by debris and Starbuck is knocked unconscious.
