In their quarters on
Galactica, Apollo has fun with young adopted son Boxey and his robot Muffey the Daggit before letting the pair know that he will be departing on an important mission to an ice planet. Avoiding the details of the mission, Apollo tasks Boxey with a special task of his own, beyond regularly saying his prayers, to look after an important personal medallion.
A sweet and tender scene between the characters nicely played by Richard Hatch and Noah Hathaway, who had great father and son chemistry together during the series. Though no reference is made at all to the tragedy of Boxey's TV version mother Serina (Jane Seymour) that was originally planned for the end of Saga of a Star World, music composer Stu Phillips does at least cleverly reprise a brief understated music cue from Serina's theme for the end of the scene.

| Apollo tells Boxey of his upcoming departure... |

| Apollo gives Boxey his own special mission to accomplish in his absence. |
 |
| Thinking about the tragic death of Serina (to have passed offscreen from radiation poisoning after the originally planned events of Saga of a Star World), Apollo watches with mild sadness as Boxey hugs Muffey. |
 |
| But Boxey and Muffey are ultimately much more interested in seeing snow... |
