The SGC receive a cryptic signal from the Tok’ra asking for a meeting, but O’Neill and his team wait at the appointed location for hours without making contact. A Goa’uld death glider soars overhead and crashes into the ground near the stargate, and SG-1 recovers the pilot – a badly injured Apophis. Other gliders attack, and O’Neill makes the call to bring Apophis back to Earth, where their dying Goa’uld adversary requests asylum. Apophis asks for O’Neill by name, and demands a new host in exchange for information that could propel humanity into the stars as a major power. O’Neill’s first inclination is to tell Apophis to go to hell, and he says exactly that. O’Neill and General Hammond see an opportunity to interrogate Apophis to gain intelligence on the Goa’uld, while Daniel sees an opportunity to pump the prisoner for information on Sha’re’s whereabouts. Then a delegation from the Tok’ra arrives, with a warning – they didn’t signal the SGC, and they demand Apophis be released and turned over to the Goa’uld. One of Apophis’ rival System Lords, Sokar, demands that Apophis be handed over to him, and swears vengeance on the entire Earth if the SGC doesn’t comply.

An unscheduled, unauthorized incoming wormhole puts the SGC on full alert. Despite every effort to close and lock down the iris, the gate remains open and a single small, cloaked humanoid emerges – a young boy with a shaven head. The first words out of the boy’s mouth are “I am here to warn you.” In the SGC infirmary, the boy says his mother told him to speak only to O’Neill – and then points to an empty bed. The boy claims his mother has observed SG-1’s activities and has determined the team to be honorable enough to help him. The boy not only knows who O’Neill is, but even knows about his son, and asks to be named after O’Neill’s son, Charlie. “Charlie” describes a Goa’uld attack on his people fairly accurately, and panics at the sight of Teal’c. Unusually, Teal’c has a strong reaction to Charlie as well – when he gets close to the boy to demonstrate he means no harm, a strange nauseous sensation overwhelms both Teal’c and his symbiote. When O’Neill and the others question Charlie, they learn that his mother is a survivor of the Re’tu race, whose more militant rebel faction has taken it upon itself to rid the galaxy of the Goa’uld by ridding the galaxy of every potential host life form. Carter calls her father, now fully integrated with the Tok’ra known as Selmak, to get the Tok’ra’s help. The Tok’ra know the Re’tu well, and even have weapons capable of detecting and elimintating them – and they quickly find that the boy’s “mother,” an insectoid Re’tu, is indeed in the SGC. Charlie gives O’Neill the coordinates to the rebels’ staging area, where SG-1 and SG-12 find the rebels preparing for a massed attack on Earth. O’Neill and his teams return to Earth, only to discover that they’ve brought their new enemy home with them.

A visit to a Goa’uld outpost reveals nothing but dead, decaying bodies – possibly due to a disease – sending SG-1 scrambling for their hazmat gear. When the team returns to Earth, Daniel begins hearing things and even seeing things, including a vivid by unlikely vision of one of the Goa’uld corpses emerging from a stargate in his quarters. Further hallucinations force Daniel to undergo a medical and psychiatric evaluation, and the latter reveals classic signs of schizophrenia. Another incident, in which Daniel thinks he sees a Goa’uld infest O’Neill, leaves little choice but to institutionalize Daniel. When his teammates visit him next, Daniel is locked in a padded cell, and is certain he sees something emerge from his body and enter Teal’c. Daniel slowly begins to recover, but can’t get anyone to listen to him when he says he’s heard the voice of Ma’chello, the inventor of anti-Goa’uld weaponry who once swapped bodies with Daniel. And if Daniel is right, Teal’c is in mortal danger.

SG-1 finds the first instance of a Christian society in their travels, but it’s a primitive, superstitious village whose people live in fear of demons. The appearance of O’Neill’s team sends the villagers running, and they find a young woman chained up in the village square, waiting to be sacrificed. By freeing her, the members of SG-1 anger the “demon” who comes on a regular schedule to collect sacrifices – an Unas collecting victims to serve as host bodies for the System Lord known as Sokar. O’Neill tries to discuss the possibility of ridding this village of the Unas, but the leader of the village instead decides that the strangers are demons themselves, and puts Teal’c to a number of tests whose outcome will either “prove” his demonic nature or kill him. The guardian of the girl chained up for sacrifice tries to challenge his leader, certain that SG-1 can help them keep the demon away…but the village’s leader has become far too accustomed to power for anyone’s good, and the Unas will still come for his sacrifice.

Guest Cast: David McNally (Simon), Alan C. Peterson (Canon), Laura Mennell (Mary), Richard Morwich (Unas), John R. Taylor (Elder), Christopher Judge (voice of the Unas)

Notes: The Unas, the first being to become a Goa’uld host, was first encountered in the first season episode Thor’s Hammer, though that episode implied that its Unas was unique; this story rewrites the mythology a bit and makes the Unas an entire species.

SG-1 responds to a distress call from Kasuf and the other Abdyonians, under siege by the Goa’uld. Kasuf and the other prisoners are freed, but Daniel catches a glimpse of Sha’re and follows her as the rest of the team engage a massive Jaffa ground force. Teal’c follows Daniel into Sha’re’s hut and finds the archaeologist at Sha’re’s mercy. Left with no choice, Teal’c blasts Sha’re with his staff weapon at point-blank range, inflicting enough damage that even her symbiote can’t prevent her death. When he awakens in the SGC, Daniel doesn’t remember Sha’re’s death until O’Neill shows him her body in the morgue. Daniel resigns from the SGC, feeling that the only goal he hoped to achieve by remaining with the stargate program has been taken away from him. But in his dreams, Daniel still sees Sha’re, and hears her imploring him to save her child. Daniel can’t bring himself to speak to Teal’c, much less forgive him, though he does ask about the offspring of two possessed Goa’uld and learns that the resulting child, a human with no symbiote, would still carry his parents’ knowledge – and could provide the SGC with an enormous tactical advantage in their next showdown with the System Lords.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

A Tok’ra delegation led by Martouf comes through the gate with word that Carter’s father has been capture by Sokar and sent “to hell” – a prison of Sokar’s own design from which only one has escaped: Jolinar, the Tok’ra who briefly inhabited Carter’s body. Martouf places a high priority on recovering Selmak, Jacob’s Tok’ra symbiote, so the Tok’ra can learn about Sokar’s plans to openly attack the other System Lords. But while reaching Sokar’s hellish prison is one thing, getting out of it alive with Jacob in tow is quite another, and Martouf tries to probe Carter for Jolinar’s memories of her escape. Unfortunately, he doesn’t find the information needed to plan an escape until he and SG-1 are already there. Teal’c remains on Martouf’s ship to pick up the team, but Sokar’s ships find and engage him. Trapped on the surface, SG-1, Martouf and Jacob try to take advantage of the chaos caused by an insurrection among the Goa’uld guarding the base. When they wonder why such a bold betrayal is happening before their eyes, everything becomes much clearer when one of the Goa’uld removes his mask, revealing the battle-scarred face of Apophis.

LogBook entry by Earl Green

Apophis makes his ambitions known – he intends to overthrow Sokar and resume his place among the System Lords. Apophis begins brutal interrogations of SG-1 to find information, including the current location of the Tok’ra resistance base, that he can trade to lure Sokar to his prison. Teal’c, in the meantime, has retreated to safety, consulting with the other Tok’ra on a new course of action now that the entire team must be rescued. But the Tok’ra only see an opportunity to rid themselves of both Apophis and Sokar in one shot, and Teal’c discovers that his allies are more than willing to sacrifice the lives of everyone in SG-1 to do it.

SG-1 steps through the gate, believing they’re about to visit a planet with a tropical paradise that they’ve just seen transmitted back via MALP, only to return through the gate instantaneously. But General Hammond tells them they’ve been gone, with no contact, for 15 hours, and has them report to the infirmary. Everything checks out normal at first, but they begin to notice that their senses are heightened – even to the point that the base’s standard-issue cafeteria food actually tastes good. A closer examination reveals that each member of SG-1 has received a kind of brain implant, and this device’s purpose becomes clear when they begin to collectively hallucinate a man named Urgo – who no one else can see. Urgo can’t control their actions, but he can make fairly powerful suggestions…and it appears that he can’t be removed. When SG-1 begins trying to figure out who created Urgo, though, he frantically warns them that his creator could be more of a threat to their lives than he is.

The SGC is on high alert after several unexpected offworld activations. Finally, a message is received from a colony of descendants of human slaves taken from Earth by the Goa’uld, which reveals that with each previous attempt to open the stargate, a volunteer stepped through and fatally slammed into the iris protecting the SGC’s gate. Their leader, Alar, pleads for assistance in his people’s war with an unknown enemy, and General Hammond dispatches SG-1 on a purely humanitarian mission. Alar’s people fight a war by remote control from a besieged underground headquarters, on a world whose surface has been left permanently uninhabitable by the ongoing war. After seeing their remote combat technology in action, and learning about their controlled fusion reactors, O’Neill pledges Earth’s assistance to ensure a technology exchange. What Alar wants from Earth is deuterium-infused heavy water to power both his defenses and offensive weapons. But this raises troubling questions about the war being fought – how did it start, who is the enemy, and is O’Neill getting in over his head?

The gate is activated with Bra’tac’s ID code, but the woman who steps into the SGC is obviously not Bra’tac. She is Shau’nac, an old flame of Teal’c, who claims to have developed the ability to separate her consciousness from that of her symbiote and can use that ability to convince the Goa’uld within her that its agenda is evil. Bra’tac has sent Shau’nac to teach this ability to the Tok’ra so that they may use it against the Goa’uld. At first, General Hammond is suspicious, and the Tok’ra scientist Anise is contacted, so that the Tok’ra can assess the situation without revealing their current base of operations. As she awaits the Tok’ra’s decision, Shau’nac shows Teal’c how to communicate with his symbiote – and urges him to leave SG-1 to help her spread this knowledge among all Jaffa.
