So, Roslin's afraid that Adama's a Cylon and sends Billy to interrogate Dee. But all the secrecy Adama's involved in is solved when he brings back Ellen Tigh from another ship - but then, Ellen Tigh is a problem all on her own.
Honestly, I don't like nymphomaniac!, narcissist!, liar!Ellen - never have, never will. Especially because of the bad influence she is on Tigh. But I thought the dinner and the confrontations in the lab were hilarious. And despite all the hidden fears and accusations I also liked Roslin and the Adamas together for the first time in this show in a social setting.
Of course, there are quite some urgh-moments in this episode: Starbuck interrupting Baltar having vision-sex, and the whole scenario on Caprica.
And I'm still not sure why Baltar doesn't just tell anyone that his test revealed Boomer's a Cylon (and presumably Ellen is, as well, though I'm not sure if his tests work on the higher-up models - or if Baltar's even testing anyone). What does he gain by keeping this a secret? I kind of understood his reaction to Boomer's test in the last episode, he was alone with her etc. But why not tell anyone later? Do the Cylons even have something further on him than that video or his involvement - which would be moot now as no one would believe any claim that he indeed helped the Cylons... So, this is really quite poorly thought through.
