Pay cable channel Showtime premieres the 52nd episode of Stargate SG-1. 
SG-1 stumbles across what appears to be a pitched ground battle between Jaffa warriors and an SGC team. Believing it to be SG-11, a team which has been missing from Earth for nearly a year, O’Neill and SG-1 try to assist, but are quickly ambushed and shot by snipers who are also wearing SGC uniforms. SG-1 awakens, only fired on with stun weapons. O’Neill notices their captors’ unit patches – “SG-X” – and everyone notices that their captors are all very young men, the oldest of which are barely of enlistment age. Teal’c bluffs the leader of the “SG-X” unit, Captain Rogers, learning that these young humans – none of them even hosts to Goa’uld symbiotes – were taken from their own worlds and trained to infiltrate the SGC on Earth. Teal’c and O’Neill try to tell Rogers and his team the truth: that Apophis has died and the battle they’re training for will never happen…but that only intensifies the warlike fervor of the would-be soldiers.
