"Torn" is the sixth episode of the third season from the science fiction television series Battlestar Galactica. This episode introduces the concept of a "hybrid", a semi-organic computer which operates the Basestar and is - in a 'very real sense' - to "be" the Basestar. Some Cylon models - the number twos (of which Leoben Conoy is), believe the Hybrid to be speaking for the one true god.
After Starbuck crashes her Viper during a training exercise, Apollo strips her flight status. Colonel Saul Tigh mourns for his wife. He and Starbuck criticize the crew members who spent the occupation of New Caprica with the fleet until a disgusted Admiral William Adama orders them to stop. Starbuck cuts her hair and seeks out Kacey, whom she brushed off earlier. Tigh confines himself to his quarters and drinks heavily.
Lieutenant Felix Gaeta reconstructs Gaius Baltar's work on the location of Earth and determines the fleet should navigate to a distant nebula shaped like a lion's head (Lion's Head Nebula). The pilots choose "Athena" as the new call sign for Sharon Agathon after she explains that "Boomer" refers to someone else.
Caprica Six and a Number Three copy tell Baltar that the Cylons plan to make Earth their new home. Hoping the Cylons will let him live, Baltar tells them about the Lion's Head Nebula.
In a conversation with Caprica Six, Baltar starts to question whether he himself is a Cylon. Caprica Six has told him in the past that there are only 12 Cylon models of which Baltar has only met 7 and he asks about the 5 models he has never met. Caprica Six declines to offer information and says "we don't talk about the other 5", visibly distraught.
