As Kara is checking out a Raptor, she observes Kat arguing with Enzo.
On the basestar, Baltar asks Caprica Three about what she's seen. She wants to know why. He wants to know if he's a Cylon, which would stop him from being a traitor to one people and a hero to another. She says that she can't remember what she sees, but has some sketches of what she could remember.
Enzo flirts with a girl when Kara walks up and interrupts.
Kara confronts Kat. Kat says that she took the name Louanne Katraine from a girl who died two days before the Cylon attacks. She says that she was a drug-runner and Enzo was her supplier. Kara suggests that Kat could have helped the Cylons by smuggling them in. Kat says that they did because they didn't know there were human models. Kara points out that she could have then. Kat doesn't like being called a traitor. Kara says that she lied her way "into the company of good people." Kat begs Kara not to tell the Admiral and to let her do it. Kara walks off and Kat sits there crying.
