The Story : SG-1 returns the SGC with news that earth has been saved from the replicators only to learn that one of the deadly creatures was not destroyed. After crashing into the ocean aboard Thor's ship, the replicator bug has found its way into a Russian submarine where it has killed the entire crew and is continuing to rapidly replicate. O'Neill suggests that the sub be towed out to sea and nuked, but the Pentagon feels that such an act could cause a serious situation with the Russian government. Instead, O'Neill and Teal'c lead a small heavily armed team aboard the sub in the hopes that the replicators can be eliminated by sheer firepower. Carter is taken to Thor's home planet which is on the verge of total destruction by the replicators. Thor believes that perhaps Carter's human knowledge could hold the key to the Asgard defeating the replicators once and for all.

General Hammond sends SG-1 on a humanitarian mission to deliver food and medical supplies. SG-1 arrives to find a civilization devastated by war - and a leader desperate to make a deal. In exchange for the heavy water they need to sustain their defensive fields, Alar is prepared to offer advanced Eurondan technology. O'Neill quickly agrees to the trade. Daniel, however, is suspicious that the Eurondans have not been completely honest about their agenda and sets out to discover the truth.

The Story : Anise/Freya, a new Tok'ra representative to Earth, approaches the SGC for help in testing some mysterious armband devices discovered amongst the ruins of a distant planet. Anise believes the devices could prove a powerful weapon in their war against the Goa'uld. However, since symbiotes seem to render the devices ineffective, she requires human test subjects to prove her theory. O'Neill, Carter, and Daniel volunteer. They are outfitted with armbands and within a short time, begin to demonstrate incredible strength and speed. But Dr. Fraiser grows concerned when medical tests suggest that the devices could be endangering their lives. General Hammond orders the armbands removed - only SG-1 is shocked to discover the devices will not come off. Anise sees an opportunity and suggests that SG-1, now outfitted with the armbands, be sent to destroy a new ship being built by Apophis. The General flatly refuses and orders SG-1 to remain on base. Their judgment clouded by the alien devices, the team defies the order and sets off on what could well be a suicide mission.

The Story : SG-1 responds to an incoming wormhole with Bra'tac's signal. Instead of Bra'tac, they find Shan'auc who tells them that she has come on behalf of Bra'tac. Teal'c goes to Shan'auc and it is immediately evident to all that the two share chemistry and history. Shan'auc claims to have discovered a way to communicate with her symbiote, and it, in turn, has shared memories with her. These memories, she believes, could be the means to defeat the Goa'uld. She claims that through their communications, she has convinced her symbiote that the Goa'uld are evil. The symbiote is prepared to tell all it knows to the Tok'ra. Teal'c remains skeptical of Shan'auc's claim, until he, himself, shares a memory with his symbiote. The Tok'ra agree that Sha'auc's symbiote is of great value and find a willing Tok'ra host for it.

The Story : During a meeting with the Tok'ra high council, Major Graham of the SGC goes berserk, firing uncontrollably upon the Tok'ra before taking his own life. The SGC is stunned to discover that Graham is a Zatarc, the victim of Goa'uld mind control technology. According to Anise, its victims are subconsciously programmed to kill, their recollection of the procedure covered by false memories. Anyone who has come into contact with the Goa'uld could well be a Zatarc - and wholly unaware of the fact. Through the use of an experimental testing device designed by the Tok'ra, Anise sets out to determine who, at the SGC, has been programmed. The test proves successful in uncovering a second Zatarc - Lieutenant Astor, a former teammate of Graham's, who also goes berserk, shooting up the SGC before turning the gun on herself. But subsequent testing uncovers false memories in two more members of the SGC: Colonel Jack O'Neill and Major Samantha Carter.

The Story : While conducting an archeological dig on planet P3X 888, Daniel Jackson makes a remarkable discovery: a primordial Goa'uld symbiote, an ancient, predatory version of SG1's parasitical enemies. Before he can bring back his sample however, his team is attacked by an Unas. One team member is killed and Daniel is dragged off into the wilderness by the giant primitive creature. Learning of Daniel's disappearance, O'Neill leads a rescue mission to the planet. Upon his arrival, he discovers that SG-11 has been almost wiped out - only Hawkins survived - and the planet's water supply is teeming with Goa'uld symbiotes. While O'Neill and Teal'c struggle with the possibility that one of their men may have been inhabited by a Goa'uld, Daniel is dragged further into the wilderness by his captor. Gradually, he begins to understand a few words of the creature's language. The Unas, a juvenile whose name seems to be Chaka, saves Daniel's life when he's attacked by a symbiote.

Cast : Brian Markinson (Lotan), Marilyn Norry (Hedrazar)

The Story : Thanks to SG-1, a civilization known as the Enkarans have been transplanted from a Goa'uld slave planet to a safer, more hospitable world. But soon after they settle in, problems arise. One of their villages is attacked by a mysterious ship. The Enkarans seem to be facing a threat even more formidable than the Goa'uld. But when SG-1 investigates, they discover that the mystery ship has no hostile intent. It is merely terraforming the planet in order to make it habitable for the Gadmeer, a long-dormant alien species. Lotan, a bio-mechanical liaison created by the ship, explains that once the terraforming procedure has begun, it cannot be halted. To do so would mean extinction for the Gadmeer. On the other hand, a completion of the terraforming process would mean certain death for the Enkarans. SG-1 must find a solution to this ethical dilemma, or face the extinction of an entire race.

Back at the SGC, meanwhile, General Hammond is faced with the possibility that SG-1 perished on the planet's icy surface, a possibility he refuses to accept. As the General tries to unravel the team's mysterious disappearance, the members of SG-1 grasp at fleeting memories of their former lives, memories which are not just the keys to their freedom, but to their very survival.

The Story : The SGC is contacted by a rambling individual who claims full knowledge of a host of government conspiracies, from the Kennedy cover-up to CIA-sanctioned microwave harassment of Libertarian candidates. He sounds like a crackpot, someone hardly worthy of their attention, that is until he mentions the Stargate. O'Neill meets with the mystery caller, Martin Lloyd who insists he is an alien and in possession of a space ship (who's location slips his mind at the moment). O'Neill is ready to dismiss Martin as a harmless nutjob and head back to Cheyenne Mountain, however, a series of strange occurrences begin to suggest that maybe, just maybe, there could be some truth to his story.

He discovers that one of the items the professor was studying, an ancient Egyptian jar, contains a perfectly preserved Goa'uld symbiote. Apparently, a crack in the vessel compromised the sedative solution within, killing the creature. But further investigation reveals a second jar may have existed. With a Goa'uld apparently stalking the campus and the local community abuzz with talk of an ancient curse, Daniel must unravel the mystery before it's too late.

And, as it turns out, O'Neill is right as he discovers that the NID was behind the change of command. Fed up with the general's inability to acquire alien technology through whatever means necessary, it pressured him into resigning. When Hammond's replacement breaks up SG-1 and assigns Carter the task of building a planet-killing Naquadah bomb, O'Neill takes matters into his own hands.

Carter sees great potential in her, but Jennifer seems determined to sabotage her future with the Air Force. She is fiercely independent, opinionated, and resentful of Carter to whom she is constantly being compared. On the other hand, she is brilliant and Carter recognizes that, given time, she will prove a formidable asset to the SGC. Eventually, Carter decides to show Jennifer exactly what she can look forward to if she stays the course - by bringing her through the stargate. They visit an offworld research base where O'Neill and Teal'c are on security detail, "babysitting" a group of ungrateful scientists.

The Story : The SGC is infected by an alien probe that downloads itself into the base computers, accessing sensitive data on the SGC and its personnel. It is detected and apparently deleted from the mainframe. Unbeknownst to all however, the entity has managed to download itself into the MALP room where it continues to thrive, building itself a new body in order to contain the immense data it has obtained. SG-1 eventually discovers the entity. O'Neill wants to destroy it, but Sam and Daniel feel they should attempt to communicate with it first. Sam tries - only to be overcome by a blast of energy. She is rushed to safety while O'Neill shuts down the entity, presumably killing it for good this time. However, the rest of SG-1 soon learns that it is far from dead. In fact, it now exists in a new vessel - one capable of storing endless bytes of data. The entity has taken over Carter's body. With the base under siege and the alien entity poised to overwhelm them all, O'Neill and company are confronted with a dire prospect: in order to save the SGC, they may well have to sacrifice one of their own.

Now, they face a vengeful Cronos determined to make them pay for their insolence. SG-1 is prepared to lead them once again, but it turns out their former allies are not so eager to answer the call to arms. After all, they were promised that if they buried their gate, they would be safe. Instead, the Goa'uld returned in ships - and the planet's inhabitants paid a terrible price. O'Neill and his team must win their confidence before they can win the battle against Cronos. Fortunately, they have help in the form of their robot duplicates, eager to assist them on this doubly-difficult mission.

Cast : Carmen Argenziano (Jacob Carter/Selmak), Peter Wingfield (Tanith)

The Story : SG-1 pays a visit to the Tok'ra homeworld. They arrive at Vorash on Cronos's mother ship, one of the spoils they claimed following the events of "Double Jeopardy". At a meeting with the High Council, it is revealed that SG-1 intends to lend the Tok'ra the enormous ship in order to help facilitate their move to a new planet. Tanith is beside himself. Why wasn't he made aware of this plan? Teal'c informs him that he could not be trusted because he is, after all, a spy for Apophis. The Tok'ra have known all along. An enraged Tanith is taken away. The Tok'ra begin to move items up to the mother ship. Preparations are underway for the extraction ceremony that will remove Tanith from his host. But amidst all the activity, Tanith escapes his cell and flees up to the planet's desert surface. A search operation is mounted, but no trace of the Goa'uld is found. Then, the Tok'ra receive word. Tanith must have gotten a message out to Apophis. The System Lord has assembled his fleet and is headed for Vorash.Carter and Jacob come up with a plan that, if successful, could deal Apophis a crippling blow. They will gate the Tok'ra to another planet, then load the stargate onto the ship and leave Vorash. Once in position, they will dial the address of the black hole planet, then jettison the gate into the sun. Given proper timing, this will cause the sun to go nova and destroy Apophis's fleet. Everything goes according to plan. They launch the gate and prepare to flee. Suddenly, a Goa'uld ship decloaks and fires, crippling them. Their weapons systems are down. Their hyperdrive is inoperative. And Apophis is closing fast. But, perhaps more importantly, the countdown has already begun on a blast that will take out the entire solar system.
