Litmus
"Litmus" is the sixth episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica television series. In the episode, after a Cylon suicide bomber gains access to Galactica, an independent tribunal is appointed to investigate. The inquiry comes to focus on the relationship between Chief Galen Tyrol and the Galactica copy of Boomer, who is still a Cylon sleeper agent. When Commander William Adama is called before the tribunal, he disbands it, calling it a witch hunt. Tyrol ends his relationship with Boomer when one of his subordinates is jailed following the inquiry. On Caprica, Helo rescues the Caprica copy of Boomer as other Cylons look on and conclude he loves her.
