101 Children of the Gods (1)
Aliens come through the stargate, take a prisoner and leave their dead when they gate out again. Colonel Jack O'Neill is called out of retirement, and he admits that he didn't destroy the stargate on Abydos, and Daniel Jackson still alive and living there. O'Neill takes a team, which includes astrophysicist Captain Samantha Carter to Abydos. They find Daniel, his wife Sha're, and Skaa'ra, the lad who reminds O'Neill of his dead son. Daniel's latest discovery is what seems to be a map of a stargate system covering the galaxy. The aliens, led Apophis, arrive on Abydos and kidnap Sha're and Skaa'ra. So O'Neill and Daniel go after them to save the prisoners.

102. Children of the Gods (2)
Colonel O'Neill's team tracks Apophis to Chulak, where Sha're is now Apophis' queen. She has become the host of a parasitic snake creature. The Goa'uld use life forms from around the galaxy as their hosts. The team has to abandon Sha're and Skaa'ra also becomes a Goa'uld host. Apophis orders the prisoners to be killed but his First Prime, the Jaffa Teal'c, responds to O'Neill's plea for help and changes sides. As the team is escaping back to Earth, Major Kawalsky is invaded by a Goa'uld hosted by a dead Jaffa.

103 The Enemy Within
The stargate has a protective iris, which prevents bombs sent by the Goa'uld from getting through. Col. O'Neill wants to add Teal'c to his team but Gen. Hammond says no and Col. Kennedy of military intelligence gets to torment Teal'c. Kawalsky has terrible headaches as the larval Goa'uld tries to take him over. The symbiote's body is removed but it has already transferred its consciousness to Kawalsky. He tries to escape through the stargate, after activating the auto-destruct mechanism, but Teal'c pushes his head into the event horizon as the gate shuts down and kills him. Having proven his loyalty, Teal'c is allowed to join SG1.

104 Emancipation
SG1 visits Simarka and meets the Shavadai, who resemble the Mongols of Earth. Capt. Carter, being a woman, has a really tough time and she is kidnapped by a pushy kid who wants swap her for the daughter of a tribal leader, Turghan.

105 The Broca Divide
SG1 finds a world with dark and light sides, homes of the Touched and the Untouched respectively. The Untouched resemble the Minoans on Earth. The Touched are primitives with animal instincts. On returning to Earth, SG1 become primitives; apart from Daniel and Teal'c. And what they have brought back is contagious, forcing Gen. Hammond to order a lockdown of the SGC. Dr. Fraiser is also immune and she realized both she and Daniel are taking anti-histamines; which can be used to cure both the people at the SGC and the aliens who host the virus.

106 The First Commandment
SG-1 finds that Capt. Hanson of SG9 has gone mad and set himself up as a god on an alien planet where the UV radiation is so strong that no one can survive in the daytime. But he is forcing the inhabitants to rebuild Goa'uld temples and condemning dissenters to death by radiation exposure. Hanson is a discarded boyfriend of Sam's but she can't influence him. But Daniel discover two shield generators left by the Goa'uld, which will give the valley were everyone lives protection from the sun. Switching them on proves that Hanson's powers are due to technology, not divinity.

107 Cold Lazarus
The team visits a planet with a bright blue sky, yellow sand and deposits of what look like huge copper sulphate crystals; which are alive. They were blasted by Goa'uld weapons and one of them creates another O'Neill out of energy when he touches it. Fearing that the Earthers will destroy them, the crystals think restoring O'Neill's son will save them. Only the kid is dead, he shot himself with O'Neill's gun, and the Colonel has to come to terms with his son's death and his ex-wife's unhappiness about the way he treated her.

108 The Nox
Pressed by the government to acquire new technologies, SG-1 is led to a world inhabited by a seemingly primitive race. Teal'c says there is a flying creature which can make itself invisible on the planet. When Apophis arrives, SG-1 ambush him with disastrous consequences. Everyone is killed but the Nox, a bunch of straw-haired forest dwellers led by Quark of Deep Space 9/Buffy the Vampire Slayer's headmaster, bring them back to life. And they turn out to have more technology than the Goa'uld and the Earthers combined!

109 Brief Candle
SG1 visits a world the life span is 100 days and Daniel delivers a baby. O'Neill gets friendly with Kynthia and starts ageing at a terrific rate! Capt.

So Carter has to work out how to turn the nanocytes off before O'Neill is history!

110 Thor's Hammer
Teal'c and O'Neill are transported to an labyrinth designed by the Asgard to protect an alien world from the Goa'uld. Teal'c cannot leave the trap while his larval Goa'uld lives. O'Neill ended up in the trap through trying to help Teal'c, and they meet a Unas hosting a Goa'uld.

Looking at film from 1945, Daniel sees the stargate activated and Catherine Langford's fiancé got through the gate. SG1 and Catherine follow him and find themselves in a crumbling building on the edge of a cliff. The fiancé is still alive after 50 years and the DHD is broken. The castle contains an Ancients' meeting hall which may hold the secrets of the universe itself. But it is lost forever when the building crumbles after Captain Carter feeds lighting into the stargate as a power source to get everyone home.

112 Bloodlines
A drug created by Dr. Fraiser doesn't work as a replacement for Teal'c's symbiote. He returned to Chulak to stop his son from implanted with a larval Goa'uld. But his son was sick and his wife had arranged for the boy to get a symbiote to cure him. The symbiote is killed so Teal'c gives the boy his symbiote. Capt. Carter has acquired one for study so she gives it to Teal'c.

The banished Goa'uld Hathor is found in an ancient sarcophagus Earth. She takes over the SGC by breathing purple fog at all the men. She plans to breed Goa'uld, put them in the Earthers and raise an army to fight the System Lords. But Capt. Carter, Dr. Fraiser and Teal'c, who are all immune to her purple fog, shoot the men with dart guns and set fire to the tank of larvae. The sarcophagus is destroyed and Hathor escapes through the stargate to Chulak.

115 Singularity
SG1 hopes to observe a black hole during an eclipse but they find SG7 and everyone on the planet dead but a young girl; Cassandra. The area is contaminated with deadly bacteria. Dr. Fraiser finds naquadah in the girl then a mysterious gadget. O'Neill sees a Goa'uld ship during the eclipse and Teal'c thinks the device in the girl was planted by Nirti to destroy Earth's stargate. The device is counting down to an explosion so Capt. Carter takes the girl to an abandoned nuclear bunker and refused to leave her on her own. The device doesn't go off now that she's a long way from the gate and Dr. Fraiser adopts the girl.

116 Cor-Ai
One of the men on a new world recognizes Teal'c as the first prime of Apophis and his father's killer. He insists on a trial. Teal'c is guilty until proved innocent. He thinks he has done such evil things in the past that he deserves punishment. O'Neill heads back to the SGC for a rescue force but gets nowhere with Gen. Hammond. When O'Neill and Carter return, they find Jaffa attacking the planet. Teal'c does his bit in the battle and he is pardoned and allowed to go home a bit shot-up.

117 Enigma
SG1 rescues 10 Tollans from their planet; a volcanic hell. They have a superiority complex and they know of the Goa'uld but don't interact with them. One of them fancies Sam Carter and tells her his people helped another primitive civilization; and destroyed their won homeworld by doing so. The Tollans' new home is off the gate system and they were waiting for a ship to collect them. So when Col. Maybourne of NID turns up to claim them, Daniel walks through walls with them and helps the Tollans to contact the Nox, who extract them while Maybourne watches and fumes.

118 Solitudes
Daniel and Teal'c are chucked out of the stargate before it blows a fuse. Carter and O'Neill find themselves stuck down a crevasse and freezing to death. O'Neill has a broken leg and a punctured lung. Carter finds a DHD in a huge block of ice but she can't make it work. SG1 came home under fire and Carter decides the gate was hit and the wormhole jumped to another gate closer to Earth. A search fails to find them and General Hammond gives up on the missing duo. But Daniel extends Carter's theory and asks if there could be another stargate on Earth. And O'Neill and Carter are found at last in Antarctica!

119 Tin Man
SG1 visits a world where a vast complex is dropping to bits from old age, all the people are long gone and just Harlan, an android is left to keep things going for no good reason. Needing help, he copies SG1 into android bodies. The process fails with Teal'c as he has 2 consciousnesses; his own and the Goa'uld's. When O'Neill is damaged, the plan unravels. SG1 goes home but their counterparts are stuck in the ruins because their power source is there.

120 There But For The Grace of God
SG1 reaches a repository of artefacts collected by aliens, who were wiped out by the Goa'uld. Daniel messes with them and finds himself on his own. And no one knows him when he gates back to Earth! Catherine Langford is in charge of the SGC, Hammond is a colonel, O'Neill is a general and Sam Carter has long hair and she isn't in the air force. And the Goa'uld, with Teal'c in charge, are destroying Earth. Daniel provides the gate address of Chulak, the Jaffa homeworld, which is nuked. Carter works out he's in an alternate reality. Daniel gets back to the archive, slightly shot up by Teal'c, just before the SGC self-destructs. And he brings the gate address of a Goa'uld homeworld.

121 Politics
Daniel is having trouble convincing the others that he really went to an alternate reality. Senator Kinsey arrives at the SGC to investigate the stargate program. The President has tried to get Kinsey on-side but he wants to shut the project down and save $7 billion per year, aided by Col. Samuels. SG1 has to justify its existence via clips from earlier episodes. Kinsey remains unimpressed by the threat from the Goa'uld and at the end, Daniel warns him about the coming attack from the Goa'uld homeworld which he located while in an alternate reality.

122 Within the Serpent's Grasp
As General Hammond closes down the SGC, SG1 sneaks off to Daniel's gate address; which proves to belong to a stargate on a Goa'uld attack ship, which heads for Earth in hyperspace. And as the gate has a moving point of origin, it can't be used. SG1 discovers zath weapons and finds Klorel/Skaa'ra in charge. Carter and Daniel plant explosives while O'Neill and Teal'c try to capture Klorel but end up caught themselves. The ship drops out of hyperspace near Saturn and Earth prepares for a fight.

201 The Serpent's Lair
Apophis arrives as SG-1 is preparing to blow up Klorel's attack ship. SG-1 is captured and Klorel is revived. Col. Sammuels is assigned to the SGC. Weapons developed at Area 51 fail to dent the Goa'uld ships. Bra'tac tells SG-1 he might have been able to save Earth if they hadn't interfered! He wanted to get Apophis and Klorel scrapping. General Hammond starts an evacuation to the Alpha Site and Samuels doesn't get to go!
   Daniel is shot when Klorel is captured again. He makes it to the sarcophagus then uses the stargate to travel to the Alpha Site before Klorel's ship blows up, taking Apophis' ship with it as O'Neill blew up the shield generators. The rest of SG-1 leave Apophis' ship on death gliders and are picked up by a space shuttle in orbit. We assume that Apophis and Klorel also got away. (Part 2 of 2)

202 In the Line of Duty
SG-1 saves the people of Nassya from a Goa'uld attack and Capt. Carter becomes the unknowing host of a Goa'uld. Cassandra, Dr. Fraiser's daughter, senses what has happened and Carter ends up in the cells. The Goa'uld wants to go through the stargate to find another host then release Sam. He is Jolinar of the Tok'ra; rebel Goa'uld who oppose the System Lords. Teal'c has heard of the Tok'ra.
   Jolinar says he is being hunted by an assassin sent by the System Lords and he tells Daniel that the Goa'uld can be removed from his wife. The assassin penetrates the SGC, tortures Jolinar and Carter ends up in the ER. Teal'c kills the assassin after he takes Daniel prisoner in the gate room. There is little to choose between the Tok'ra, and regular Goa'ulds as far as arrogance goes, but Jolinar chooses to do the right thing at the end. He dies but Carter survives feeling very miserable.

203 Prisoners
SG-1 helps someone who looks like he's in trouble on a new world and end up with life sentences on a prison planet; a bedlam where a woman called Linea is in charge. With no DHD, Carter says they need power to dial the stargate manually. SG3 gets SG-1's equipment and the bum's rush from the Taldor and so does Gen. Hammond. Linea says she killed a lot of people trying to cure a plague. She has a control device, which she uses to stop a big lug from killing Daniel. SG-1 uses her cold-fusion system to power up the gate and escape to SG3's next destination. Another prisoner, whose blindness Linea has cured, tags along. He says she started the plague and tried to kill the survivors; she's the Destroyer of Worlds. Meanwhile, Carter shows Linea the computer system, she takes it over and escapes through the stargate.

204 The Gamekeeper
SG-1 are trapped by machines which add them to a virtual reality system and make O'Neill (with Teal'c) relive the death of friends on a bad mission in 1982 and Daniel (with Carter) relive the deaths of his parents at the New York Museum of Art. SG-1 go on strike when they spot black-clad spectators and the system's Keeper (Howlin' Mad Murdoch of the A Team) tells them to get on with it. The Keeper tells them that the world was destroyed 1,020 years ago, the people retreated into the VR and the need new experiences to share. But he hasn't told them that the planet has regenerated. And if the residents leave the VR system, the Keeper will lose control of them. SG-1 find themselves back at the SGC but they realize it's still an illusion and, inevitably, the residents get out and start ‘ruining; the world by picking the flowers.

205 Need
SG-1 finds a Goa'uld naquadah mine, Daniel saves the life of a princess and the rest of SG-1 is put to work in the mine. Carter senses that there are no Goa'uld symbiotes around and the Jaffa are fake. O'Neill stages a gaol break, Daniel is injured by a rock fall and the princess puts him in a sarcophagus as she thinks he's her destiny. Her 700-year-old father killed the planet's Goa'uld overlord and he keeps on sending naquadah shipments, hoping the Goa'uld will leave him alone. Daniel become addicted to using the sarcophagus even though Carter warns that repeated use of it will ‘take his soul'. SG-1 is allowed to go home before the wedding, Daniel goes ‘cold turkey' and becomes the ‘Hulk' for a while. Then he goes back to free the people on the planet from slavery. Now that her father is dead, the princess blasts the sarcophagus with a staff weapon.

206 Thor's Chariot
SG-1 found the Goa'uld attacking Cimmeria, the planet where they destroyed Thor's Hammer to release Teal'c from imprisonment. Sam finds that she can use Goa'uld devices. Ra's son is attacking the planet so Sam and Daniel go looking for the Hall of Thor's Might with one of the locals. After they pass his tests, Thor shows himself as his true self; Roswell grey not Viking warrior, to tell them there are no weapons on the planet. But an Asgard mother ship; Thor's Chariot; shows up to zap the Goa'uld and everything is okay with one bound.

207 Message in A Bottle
SG-1 finds a bowling ball-size orb which is sending out electromagnetic signals. Thinking it's a time capsule, they take it back to the SGC, where it sprouts javelin-like spikes, one of which skewers O'Neill, and proves resistant to Teal'c's staff weapon. Carter thinks depriving it of power and oxygen will slow the device down. Then it starts trying to communicate via the computer system and the self-destruct is activated. Carter suggests the thing needs to grow to a critical mass before it can communicate and it is given oxygen and more staff blasts. The device communicates through O'Neill and says it's an arc containing a civilization from a destroyed world. So Carter has it sent through the stargate to a primordial world.

208 Family
Apophis is still alive, having gated off his ship before it exploded (episode 201), he is vulnerable and he has taken Teal'c's son, Rya'c, prisoner. A rescue mission arrives on Chulak to find that Mrs. Teal'c has married someone else. The rescue flops because Rya'c has been brainwashed. Then the new husband tries to turns SG-1 in for a reward. The boy seems to overcome the brainwashing and SG-1 gets home way too easily. And Dr. Fraiser finds the components of a planet-killing virus in two false teeth. Teal'c gets to shoot the stroppy kid with a zat weapon as a way of applying ECT, which unbrainwashes him, and Mrs. Teal'c and the boy are relocated off Earth.

209 Secrets
Daniel finds Sha're is back on Abydos and about to have a son by Apophis. Her Goa'uld is dormant as the child would be stillborn if she were awake. Apophis wants the kid as his new host. O'Neill & Carter go to Washington to get medals, General Jacob Carter, Sam's dad, has pulled strings to get her into the space program and he's hurt when she won't go and he has terminal cancer. A journalist who knows about the SGC is pursuing O'Neill.
   Teal'c suggests taking Sha're to Earth as she has access to her Goa'uld's memories. But the arrival of an enemy of Apophis, then the baby, foils that plan. The journalist is run down by a car; a genuine accident Hammond says, and he presents the medals. The boy is given to a foster mother and Apophis is made to think that his enemy has it.

210 Bane
Teal'c is stung by a giant, DNA-con-verting bug, which reproduces by turning other creatures into an appropriate number of replicas of itself according to the victim's body mass. Maybourne is interested in the bug as a source of weaponry but he finishes the episode unbashed and unshot by Colonel O'Neill; but out of luck. Teal'c, meanwhile, escapes from the SGC, meets a street-wise young girl in an abandoned building made a complete recovery when the SGC scientists sort out a cure. Then he zooms off to play shoot-‘em-up with giant water pistols with a new friend.

211 The Tok'ra (1)
SG-1 are reduced to checking out visions in their search for allies against the Goa'uld. The Tok'ra rebels turned out to be a bunch with no dress sense, who have the weird voice effects and luminous eyes of the Goa'uld System Lords. When the SG-3 team arrived to take Captain Carter home to see her father, who is dying of cancer in hospital, the Tok'ra decided that no one is getting out of their base until they are ready to move on to a new one. Friends? Allies? Who knows.

212 The Tok'ra (2)
The imprisoned SG-1 solve their problem by offering Jacob Carter as a host for Sel'mac, a Tok'ra whose host is dying. The first problem is to get the US military to agree. The next is that the Tok'ra are having to do a M*A*S*H-style bug-out as the Goa'uld have located their current base. But the two spies are located and dealt with, the migration of Sel'mac to a new host goes off okay and Earth gains a new ally. And Sam now has the approval of her father.

213 Spirits
Colonel O'Neill gets himself shot with a North American Indian-style arrow made of a wonder metal which is vital for the Earth's defence against the Goa'uld. So the colonel is ruled out of a contact mission requiring diplomacy. [Which is just as well, really!] Capt. Carter takes the team to look for the SG-11 team, who are overdue on the planet of the wonder metal. They come up against a tribe of Indians who have a bunch of shape-shifting aliens watching over them. And the aliens are more than capable of putting a stop to the Pentagon's attempts to pull off a swindle.

214 Touchstone
SG-1 visit a planet where the natives can control their own climate thanks to technology left by a more advanced civilization, which terraformed the planet. Returning, the team finds that the Touchstone control device has been stolen by people dressed just like them. Area 51 comes under suspicion, and Col. Maybourne is found to be holding just a plastic replica of Earth's second stargate (found in episode 118) there. When O'Neill and his team track down the rogues in charge of Gate #2, they dive into it and disappear to parts unknown. The weather-control device is recovered but there are still bad guys out there to give the team more problems in the future.

215 The Fifth Race
A probe sent to a new gate address finds a chamber full of inscriptions, which Daniel thinks will contain useful data. At the chamber, O'Neill is about to take everyone home when he activates a device, which grabs his head. Dr. Fraiser says he seems okay but he keeps using strange words and he reads an inscription which has puzzled Daniel. Dr. Fraiser finds that his brain is operating at 90+% of capacity instead of the normal 5%. Daniel thinks the chamber is a meeting place for four races opposed to the Goa'uld, including the Asgard, and a language was downloaded into O'Neill's mind.
   O'Neill types a list of new stargate addresses into the computer. Daniel thinks he has all the knowledge of the four alien races and he is speaking the language of the gate-builders; the Ancients. Dr. Fraiser thinks O'Neill's mind might shut down under the strain. Carter and Teal'c are stuck off-world when the DHD on their planet fails and they face a sunrise which will raise the local temperature to 200 deg.F. O'Neill comes up with plans to fix the DHD. Then he attaches a gadget to the power supply and dials an 8-digit gate address to reach the Asgard. They remove his knowledge overload and tell him that his species has taken the first steps to becoming the Fifth Race.

216 A Matter of Time
SG-10 arrives on a planet with a binary star system as one of the stars collapses, creating a black hole which begins to eat the planet. When the SGC tries to find out what is going on, they find that the stargate on Earth can't be shut down and Earth is going to get sucked though it into the black hole! The SGC is also suffering the effects of the time-distorting gravity field from the black hole. The solution? Feed the wormhole a bomb to make it jump somewhere else and dump the black-hole problem off on someone else.

217 Holiday
SG-1 meets Ma'chello, an ancient Goa'uld-fighter, who wants a holiday. He believes that he is ‘owed; for all his good works so he swaps out of his dying body and into Daniel's; then goes on a spending spree with his credit cards. Worse, O'Neill and Teal'c swap bodies accidentally when they retrieved the transfer machine and Teal'c wants to shave his new host body's head! Even worse, transfers cannot be reversed. After a bit of ER-style electric shock treatment to keep Daniel's host body going, Captain Carter comes up with the solution – move everyone around to a different body until everyone is back where he belongs.

218 Serpent's Song
SG-1 capture their old enemy Apophis, who is out of favour with his fellow Goa'uld and dying after being tortured by Sokar; but he's still alive enough to ask for political asylum and another host. Daniel fails to get Apophis to tell him where to find Sha're. The Tok'ra visit the SGC to tell the humans to give Apophis back if they know what's good for them. But while they are thinking about it, Sokar attacks their stargate with sub-atomic particles and threatened to fry the control room. Apophis croaks just before his ancient Egyptian host, and the host's body is sent so that Sokar can revive Apophis in a sarcophagus and continue his torture. The Tok'ra give the Earthers a Tollan communicator and they provide a GDO with an iris code.

219 One False Step
SG-1 go to PJ2445 to find a lost remote-controlled plane. They find weird aliens, who wear flesh-coloured garments, daub one another with streaks of white paint and fall over when Daniel sneezes on them. In fact, the aliens start dropping like flies and O'Neill and Daniel also go down with something. It turns out that the aliens have a symbiotic relationship with fast-growing and fast-contracting, virtual-reality plants, which needed certain frequencies of ultrasound to survive. The Earthers changed the output of the plants when they interfered with control of a remote-controlled flier, which crashed into one of the plants and damaged it. All very complicated, really.

220 Show and Tell
The iris mechanism is taken over and a bald boy comes through the gate with a warning. He has an invisible mom and he will speak only to Col. O'Neill. The kid agitates Teal'c's symbiote. He says the Goa'uld attacked his planet (Reetalia) and now, Reetou rebels plan to kill all human beings to deprive the Goa'uld of hosts. The boy has a wreck of a body with failing organs as his alien Mom genetically engineered him as an intermediary because the Reetou are invisible to Earthers.
   Sam consults her dad, who provides a weapon which makes Reetou reveal themselves (they look a bit like Shadows). O'Neill goes on a recon mission to the rebels' planet and sees hundreds of them. A suicide squad of 5 rebels infiltrates the SGC so cue a lot of hunting. Mom is zapped by a rebel before they are all wiped out. And the Tok'ra take the kid away as a host as his best hope of survival.

221 1969
SG-1 make a routine off-world trip and find themselves in what looks like a Titan missile silo with the missile about to be launched. Teal'c uses a zat gun on the missile, which is only a mock-up for training. They're back in 1969 and the officer packing their gear finds a note which Gen. Hammond gave to Carter just before SG-1 left.
   A tyre blows on the truck taking SG-1 to New Mexico. Lt. Hammond arranged it to get a chance to talk to Carter about the note, which contains dates and times. O'Neill destroys their gear with the zat gun then zats Hammond so he won't be court martialled. O'Neill's plan is to find the stargate. Some hippies on their way to Woodstock give them a lift to New York state.
   Carter realizes that the dates are of solar flares, which will deflect an outgoing wormhole and get them home. Daniel puts on a terrible German accent to ask a young Catherine Langford where to find the stargate. Everyone heads for Washington, DC. SG-1 manages to power up the gate and dial out manually. But security guards arrive and they hit the wormhole too early. But an old version of Cassandra, Dr. Fraiser's daughter is standing by to send them to where they belong.
   At the end, General Hammond tells SG-1 he's been waiting all his life for that day. And by the way, the cash that he lent to O'Neill in 1969 comes to $539.50 with interest!

222 Out of Mind
O'Neill, Sam and Daniel wake from cryogenic suspension to find themselves in what is supposed to be the SGC 80 years in the future (2077). A doctor links them to a device to recover memories from their last mission to find out why they were put into stasis. Back at the real SGC, Teal'c wakes up after being unconscious for 3 weeks He resigns when Gen. Hammond says he has called off the search for the rest of SG-1 and returns to Chulak.
   O'Neill hears the doctor and an orderly speaking Goa'uld to he zaps the orderly, steals his uniform and rounds up Carter and Daniel. They are on what looks like a Goa'uld pyramid spaceship and it is still 1999. Hathor traps them in a gate room mock-up. She has limited information on the state of empire, which she wants to take over, and she's ready to turn a member of SG-1 into a Goa'uld to get that information . . . (1/ 2)

   Hammond sends 4 SG teams to rescue SG-1 and they arrive as O'Neill gets his Goa'uld. So a Tok'ra spy puts him in stasis before being zapped by Hathor. There's a force field around the stargate to the survivors of the rescue mission take to some Tok'ra tunnels.
   On Earth, the president says no to more reinforcements so Gen. Hammond goes to Chulak. The battered spy tells Carter that the cryogenic process will have destroyed the Goa'uld when O'Neill is retrieved and he throws Hathor into the coolant!
   Carter and O'Neill find the power source for the force field as the other Earthers are captured. O'Neill distracts the Jaffa at the gate by pretending to be a Goa'uld as Teal'c flies through it in a 100-year-old death glider with Gen. Hammond as his gunner. And the day is saved. (2/2)

302 Seth
Jacob Carter arrives at the SGC on a hunt for Seth, a Goa'uld System Lord who tried to overthrow Ra and who never left Earth. Sel'mac has the secondary purpose of getting Jacob reconciled with his son, Mark. Daniel tracks Seth from Egypt to a place near Seattle, where a cult is holed up and a man is hanging around, looking for his son.
   On a recce, SG-1 finds that the cult has Goa'uld weapons. General Carter has to get the President to warn off an AFT and give SG-1 jurisdiction. O'Neill, Carter and Daniel let themselves by captured while wearing a Tok'ra device which ‘deprogrammes' them.
   When they start getting disciples out ahead of a big bang, Seth starts zapping people so Carter uses a Tok'ra hand device on him and Seth is killed. The bloke who was hanging around is reunited with his son and Jacob Carter makes things up with his own estranged son.

303 Fair Game
Captain Carter is promoted to major and Colonel O'Neill is beamed up by a grey alien called Thor; one of the Asgard. Thor want to get Earth included in a non-aggression treaty to ward off an attack by the Goa'uld, and there is to be a meeting on Earth involving 3 Goa'uld, Thor and O'Neill. Teal'c gets into a slanging match with a Goa'uld called Cronus right away and the first meeting lasts about two seconds.
   The Goa'uld want both of Earth's stargates as part of the deal. Earth is about to accept when Teal'c and Cronus, who killed Teal'c's dad, seem to get into a scrap which leaves the Goa'uld dying. Carter succeed in reviving him when the female-hosted Goa'uld fails, and she turns out to be the one who attacked Cronus. Colonel O'Neill bluffs his way to a change in the treaty terms to let Earth keep its stargates and the Goa'uld leave with the female-hosted one under arrest.

304 Legacy
SG-1 find some more aliens; all dead. They were lesser rivals of the Goa'uld. Daniel returns with a feeling that he is seeing and feeling the presence of things that aren't there. The medics suggest that stargate travel could make humans schizophrenic and the gate is closed pending investigation. It turns out that Daniel is carrying a biological weapon created by Ma'chello (see episode 217); a Goa'uld-killer; and it is transferred to Teal'c.
   O'Neill, Carter and Dr. Fraiser become infected when they are examining a land mine-like carrier for the Goa'uld killers. But Carter is able to extract a protein from her blood to zap the little monsters.

305 Learning Curve
SG-1 contacts a species whose children are experts who don't know what fun is. Daniel works out that they are descended from a pre-Aztec, South American civilization. An 11-year-old goes to Earth to show Major Carter how to build a miniature reactor, Dr. Fraiser find nanytes in her blood and the team learns that the kids are dosed with nanytes, they acquire specialized knowledge, and they become vegetables when the nanocytes are extracted at age 12 and shared with the rest of the population.
   Colonel O'Neill takes the kid to a school to show her what fun and human learning are all about and then she has to go home to have her nanytes extracted. But the knowledge that she gives to the rest of the population encouraged them to set up an education and play programme for the extracted kids. So cultural sensibilities are satisfied and the kids are reclaimed.

306 Point of View
A Dr. Carter and a Major Kawalsky from an alternate reality arrive just after the Goa'uld have taken over their world with another Teal'c at the head of the invasion force. Dr. Carter starts to come apart at the seams due to Entropic Cascade Failure due to her presence in the same reality as Major Carter. So she has to go back. The plan is to contact the Asgard in her reality and get them to see off the Goa'uld. Teal'c kills his other self and takes his place but the Goa'uld capture the whole team. Only for the Asgard to turn up in the nick of time.

307 Deadman Switch
Strolling through a forest, SG-1find a shot-down spy plane then they are trapped by bounty hunter Aris Boch's force field. He has been injured, he wants to catch a Goa'uld called Kel'tar and needs help. He has disabled the stargate, and he lets SG-1 find out that he can't be stopped with a zat gun and they can't take over his alkesh spaceship.
   Boch's race can't become Goa'uld hosts, which is why they killed most of them, enslaved the rest and made them dependent on a drug called roshna – they croak if they don't keep taking it. Carter thinks finding out why they can't become hosts could be helpful. Boch isn't the helpful type, however.
   O'Neill and Teal'c catch the Goa'uld but he says he's a Tok'ra called Korra and he was spying on Sokar. Teal'c offers to take Korra's place and Boch flies off with him. But he destroys the alkesh after contacting Sokar and he and Teal'c use escape pods to get away, leaving Sokar thinking they're read (for the moment). And Boch gives Carter some roshna at the end for her to experiment on.

308 Demons
SG-1 came across a world based on a pre-Chaucer Christian society, which believes that demons come through the stargate. A suitably demonic Unas is taking villagers as hosts for the Goa'uld Sokar. Unfortunately, the religious nut in charge of the village has alien technology which lets him zap SG-1. Teal'c has to be tested by various mediaeval tortures and he is chucked in a lake in the end. He sinks, proving his innocence, and seems to drown.
   SG-1 stops villagers drilling a hole in the head of a woman with chicken pox to let the demons out! Teal'c's larval Goa'uld saves him from drowning, and the villagers assume he is a demon when he comes back to life. SG-1 is handed over to the Unas but one of the villagers shoots it with Teal'c's staff and makes it leak green goo. O'Neill confiscates the religious nutter's device and then shoots him when the Goa'uld in the Unas infests his body. On leaving, the team tells the villagers to bury their stargate to prevent further unwelcome visits from demons.

309 Rules of Engagement
SG-1 find themselves on the edges of a battle apparently involving SG-11, who are missing in action. In fact, they have stumbled on a training ground for cannon fodder in the service of the Goa'uld Apophis, and they don't know that he's dead. Teal'c takes charge as he knows the training rules.
   The bogus troops have stun weapons but some are issued with SG-1's live weapons by mistake. They refuse to believe that Apophis, a god, can be dead. But when their captain is shot with Teal's staff, SG-1 takes him back to earth and shows him a video of Apophis croaking. Then Major Carter patches the video in to a piece of Goa'uld technology to bring the message to the others and stop them from killing one another in a final battle fought with real weapons.

310 Forever in A Day
Daniel meet his wife again during a battle with the bad guys on her home planet. Teal'c kills her and her Goa'uld as she is zapping Daniel and he ends up in hospital. But when he wakes up, he finds that his wife is alive and Goa'uld-free. Then she is gone again. So he resigns from the Stargate program because he joined to find Shaa're, he's found her and that's it.
   Daniel find himself having visions, in which his wife tells him to forgive Teal'c and find their son, io was the offspring of 2 Goa'uld-infested hosts and a genetic repository for all of their secrets. So he rejoins SG-1, to the relief of O'Neill, who can't stand his replacement. And then we are back at the start of the episode again. Forever in a day.

311 Past and Present
SG-1 arrives on an Earth where the people remembered nothing beyond an event called the ‘Vorlix' which occurred one year before The planet's elders and the children are missing as well as their memories. Linea, a major league criminal whom the team has helped to break out of gaol, is the prime suspect.
   Dr. Frazier gets busy on a cure and Daniel gets friendly with Kira, one of the other Earth's leaders. Major Carter decides that Linea has unleashed a planet-wide ‘fountain of youth' and the present inhabitants are the elders after rejuvenation. DNA testing proves that Kira is a rejuvenated Linea (Episode 203) but Daniel insists that she is no longer the same person.
   Even so, everyone else keeps thinking ‘Destroyer of Worlds'. The cure works and Kira is all set to kill herself. But she is persuaded that it would be okay if she has her memory wiped and goes back to her home-world.

312 Jolinar's Memories
The Tok'ra has bad news for Major Carter; Jacob, her father and host of Sel'mac, has been captured and he has information on a planned attack on the System Lords by the Goa'uld Sokar, who impersonates the Devil. The Tok'ra want to access Jolinar's residual memories in Carter to find out how she escaped from Sokar's prison moon, which has no stargate and has to be reached via a worm-hole-traversing spacecraft and descent pods. The memories prove elusive but the team goes in anyway.
   Beinar, boss of the prison moon, has the team chucked into the pit and rushes off to tell Sokar about them. He orders them killed but a rebellion start on the moon and Beinar is killed. The team planned to use a ring device to transport to Teal'c's spaceship only Teal'c is under attack and the team is grabbed by Beinar's deputy, who turns out to be the Goa'uld Apophis, who is supposed to be dead! (Part 1 of 2)

313 The Devil You Know
Apophis sends the team back to the pit on the hell-moon Martouf. He gets nothing from interrogations and just a convincing lie out of the Tok'ra. Meanwhile, Sokar is preparing to launch his assault on the System Lords. Teal'c and another Tok'ra arrive with a weapon, which leaves O'Neill and Co. with 12 minutes to stage a gaol break.
   The moon blows up, taking out Sokar's spacecraft, just after the team beams aboard Teal'c's ship. Only Apophis is still alive somehow at the end. (Part 2 of 2)

314 Foothold
SG-1 returns soaking wet from a trip and are knocked out with injections in the infirmary; but the injections don't work on Teal'c and Major Carter, and they could see aliens wandering around. Carter escapes and contacts Col. Maybourne to report the incursion, but he doesn't believe her.
   Col. O'Neill and Daniel turn up at the meeting in Washington and everyone heads back to the SGC by plane. Only Carter sees O'Neill as an alien and shoots him. Daniel too. And she finds a device which makes the wearer look like Daniel. She return to the SGC as Daniel while Mayborn organizes an assault from outside. Carter disrupts the alien cloaking devices and the ones who can't escape through the stargate self-destructed.

315 Pretense
An unknown traveller tries to use the gate and something peculiar happens to the iris. Then a cat appears on the ramp! Carter realizes that it's Schrödinger, the cat she gave to the Narim of the Tollans. Then Narim walks through the iris to announce that Skaa'ra, host of Apophis' son Klorel, survived a battle in which the Tollans took out two Goa'uld mother ships.
   Skaa'ra gained control of the body for a while and he asked for Klorel to be removed. SG-1, the Goa'uld and the Nox are needed for a Triad, a form of trial to decide who the shared body belongs to. Carter and Teal'c notice Jaffa messing about near Tollan weapons but they are told to let the matter drop or the Triad will be compromised.
   The Goa'uld lose the argument but they have been using the Triad as a cover for an attempt to cripple the Tollans' planetary defences. Fortunately, Teal'c disobeys O'Neill's orders to lay off and the Nox lady makes one of the cannons invisible. So it survives and takes out the attacking Goa'uld ship. SG-1 saves the day but the Tollans still aren't grateful enough to hand over any weapons.

316 Urgo
SG-1 step through the stargate, heading for a beach which a probe has seen, and find themselves right back home; except that 15 hours have elapsed. First medical checks show nothing wrong with them but Teal'c can down piping hot coffee by the jugful and the team become serial desert-scoffers.
   Dr. Fraiser find micro devices in their brains, which are conjuring up a fat slob, Urgo, who wants to experience Earth. The devices can't be removed without causing brain damage: "Me or death," says Urgo. Major Carter decides that an EM pulse will cure the problem; but it offers only a temporary fix.
   So the team goes back to the source of the devices, where they persuaded Togar, an Urgo-lookalike and his creator, that Urgo is now a life-form even if he's an ‘error'. And Daniel suggests that Togar becomes Ugo's host to improve his quality of life.

317 A Hundred Days
SG-1 arrive on a planet which passes through an asteroid belt every year and suffers a bombardment every 150 years. Some of the inhabitants leave some don't and O'Neill is left behind when he goes after a couple of teenagers, who go AWOL. A meteor hits the stargate and buries it. O'Neill has to face up to the prospect of going native but Major Carter comes up with a plan for digging out the other stargate, which involves Tealc risking his life needlessly [when you think about it]. So O'Neill doesn't have to stay native, which wasn't all together a good thing, he admits.

318 Shades of Grey
The Tollans refuse to trade technology so Colonel O'Neill helps himself and end up with a choice between early retirement and a court martial. Col. Maybourne turns up with an offer and O'Neill joins his illegal snatch and grab team. A Col. Makepiece replaces O'Neill as leader SG-1. But it is all a trap to put Maybourne's NID team out of action and identify an SGC mole; who turns out to be Col. Makepiece.

319 New Ground
The computer at the SGC cold-dials P2X416 soon after one of the locals has dug the stargate out of an old lava flow. SG-1 finds that the locals are hostile because they refuse to believe that they were brought to the planet by aliens. Their people's religion says they evolved on the planet and they are at war with rivals who claim they were brought to the planet through the stargate.
   So SG-1, apart from Teal'c, end up prisoners of an advanced civilization and they are tortured with all the zeal of true religious nut cases. Teal'c is blinded by a weapon blast for a while, but a local called Nain helps him out and repairs his eyes as Teal'c's symbiote is damaged and not up to the job. Eventually, Teal'c and Nain are able to free the rest of SG-1 and get back to Earth. And Nain becomes a political refugee and Daniel's assistant.

320 Maternal Instinct
On the planet Kheb, SG-1 runs into a monk who talks Zen-bollocks and gets right up Col. O'Neill's nose! They are looking for the Harcesis child of Apophis and Sha're, Daniel's wife's, who holds all the Goa'uld's secrets in his DNA, and the monk gets Daniel to believe that he can make fire and become a telekinetic. But it's all a hollow sham by aliens, who want to look after the kid. But they prove that they are good guys by giving a bunch of Jaffa the bum's rush.

321 Crystal Skull
SG-1 find a huge Mayan-style pyramid containing a vast cavern and a crystal skull. Daniel activates the skull, Teal'c shoots it and Daniel becomes invisible to everyone else. The skull is just like one which Nick, Daniel's grandfather, found in Belize. So the team liberate Nick from the psychiatric hospital, which had been his home for 28 years, and take him to the SGC.
   Luckily, the crazy old man is able to see and hear Daniel. And back on the planet, SG-1 is able to restore out-of-phase Daniel and Nick gets to stay with some giant aliens, who are enemies of the Goa'uld.

322 Nemesis
Daniel is in hospital after having his appendix out and everyone else is supposed to be going on leave when Col. O'Neill is beamed out of the SGC. The Asgard Thor, dying in an orbiting spacecraft infested with Replicator spider-likes, needs some help. Knowing that he can't get off the ship, O'Neill asked for explosives. Teal'c and Carter beam aboard with the munitions and an escape plan.
   Teal'c almost gets kilt doing a space walk then the team beams the SGC's stargate aboard, intending to dial out to another planet before Thor's ship burns up in Earth's atmosphere. General Hammond order the spare stargate to be brought out of storage and the ship crashes with no news of O'Neill and Co. And the bad news for the Earthers is that at least one Replicator bug survived the crash into the Pacific. (Part 1 of 2)

+++ End of Season 3 +++

+++ Season 4 (2000-2001) +++

401 Small Victories
The surviving construction-kit robot Replicator on Earth infests a Russian submarine and starts eating it to reproduce after killing the crew. Meanwhile, Thor needs a dumb Earther to think about weapons and help save an Asgard planet; and Major Carter is elected. The new Replicators on the sub are made of inferior materials and rusting away. So all Col. O'Neill and Teal'c have to do was go aboard and destroy the original one.
   In space, Carter comes up with the idea of destroying the new Asgard super-spaceship; called O'Neill; to take out the Replicator spaceships in hyperspace. And Thor gets her back to Earth in time to beam O'Neill and Teal'c off the sub as they are about to be chomped by the Replicator clones. And Teal'c now has a blond micro-beard! (Part 2 of 2)

402 The Other Side
The SGC is contacted by Alar (Odo of Deep Space 9), a representative of the planet Euronda, whose people splat against the iris until Carter sorts out communications. They want help in a war and Daniel points out this is the first time people from Earth have called home and the SGC can't just let them die.
   SG-1 is sent on a humanitarian mission with food and medical supplies. Alar and his people are being bombed to bits deep underground and they have great weapons technology on offer and they can't just go somewhere else through the stargate because they have thousands of people in stasis.
   O'Neill gets to shoot down an enemy plane. Daniel doesn't approve of giving them heavy water for their fusion reactor and helping their war effort and he wants to know about the enemy. O'Neill wants Eurondan technology but he lets SG-1 snoop around. And finds that the Eurondans are clones and they made the first strike against ‘breeders' to start the war. So O'Neill crashes a fighter plane on their fusion reactor to make sure the clones lose.

403 Upgrades
A Tok'ra archaeologist turns up with gadgets; armbands which enhance the wearer as long as he/she doesn't have a Goa'uld symbiote. So Carter, O'Neill and Daniel each get one and the initial results are amazing; strength, speed, co-ordination but a lack of good judgement. The armbands came from an (ominously) extinct species, they won't come off and they kill the wearers.
   Then the Tok'ra announce that they need the enhanced Earthers to destroy a new Goa'uld battleship. SG-1 does the job but their armbands come off when they develop immunity to the virus released by the armbands, leaving them stranded. Teal'c to the rescue!

404 Crossroads
A temple priestess called Shan'auc, an old girlfriend of Teal'c, arrives at the SGC using Bra'tac's ID signal. She says she can communicate with her symbiote, sharing feelings and memories, and she's convinced it that the Goa'uld are evil. Her plan is to get the Tok'ra to give the symbiote a host. Shan'auc also needs a new symbiote as hers is ready for its own host. The Tok'ra see a possible way to increase their numbers. Teal'c tries to share memories with his symbiote and it shows him Chronos killing his father.
   The symbiote gets a host then kills Shan'auc as step one of a plan to destroy the Tok'ra. The memories from his symbiote let Teal'c deduce that Shan'auc's new symbiote was crushed inside her body and its toxic blood killed her. When SG-1 reveal all to the Tok'ra, they say they were suspicious from the start and they plan to use the Goa'uld then extract as much info as they can from him.

405 Divide and Conquer
SG-1 is at the Tok'ra base fixing up a meeting between the Tok'ra High Councillor and the US President when Major Graham, a member of an SG team, starts shooting and then commits suicide. He is a victim of Goa'uld mind control and when the other SG teams are scanned by the Tok'ra, another member of Graham's SG team is exposed. She starts shooting and kills herself. Then Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter fail the test.
   Anis, the host of the female Tok'ra Freya, gets personal with O'Neill and he volunteers to take a dodgy treatment first to see if it will help Carter. Only she works out that the machine is giving false readings because of the suppressed feelings which she and O'Neill have for each other. Martuf, the host of Jolinar's mate, turns out to be ‘possessed' and Carter shoots him as he is trying to shoot what turns out to be a stand-in for Mr. President.

406 Window of Opportunity
SG-1 meets scientist called Malakai, who is trying to use abandoned technology on a planet whose sun is ejecting coronal mass furiously. When the device malfunctions, only O'Neill and Teal'c are aware that everyone on Earth, and on 14 other planets connected to the stargate on Malakai's world, are being forced to relive the same 10-hour period over and over again. After some Groundhog Day stuff, O'Neill and Teal'c learn Latin and the Ancients' language to translate the text on the ruins around the stargate.
   P4X-369 was once a colony of the Ancients. After living there for thousands of years, they were struck down by some sort of catastrophe. So they built a time machine to avoid their own destruction. But instead of sending a team of scientists to the key moment of their history, the device caused a short-term continuous time-loop. The Ancients experienced the same day over and over as they tried to get the machine to work, but in the end they gave up, shut it down and let the end come.
   Malakai is to use the machine to reunite himself with his dead wife. O'Neill tells him watching her die again is not something he'll want to go through and he manages to convince Malakai to shut the device down using the knowledge they've gained. Back on Earth, SG-1 learn that the Tok'ra have been out of contact them for at least three months.

407 Watergate
The staff at the SGC find they can't dial out. The Russians have a stargate and it is stuck open. So SG-1 go to Siberia with Markova; alias Troi from Star Trek TNG. The Russians recovered the stargate aboard the Asgard ship which was being eaten by Replicators after crashing into the sea (episode 401). The Russians also looted a DHD found in Egypt from the Nazis during the war.
   SG-1 has to parachute in to the Russian base and everyone there is dead; shot or nerve-gassed. The gate is still open and connected to another gate which is underwater on its planet. Carter, Daniel and Markova go through the gate in a minisub. O'Neill and Teal'c find Col. Maybourne frozen in a fridge.
   He thaws out and coughs up green smoke and a water sample taken from the planet; only it's not water, it's a life form, which wants to get home. And when the ‘water' has passed through the gate, Carter and Co. are ejected back to Earth without their minisub.

408 The First Ones
Daniel Jackson finds the remains of a Goa'uld symbiote, an ancient, predatory version of SG-1's enemies on P3X-888. A Unas attacks the team and it drags and Daniel away. O'Neill leads a rescue mission to the planet. SG-1 find that SG-11 has been wiped out apart from one survivor and the planet's water supply is full of Goa'uld symbiotes.
   O'Neill and Teal'c confront the possibility that one or more of their men could have been invaded by a Goa'uld. Daniel tries to learn some of his captor's language as he is dragged off into the wilderness by his captor. The Unas is a juvenile called Chaka and it catches a symbiote which goes for Daniel after he takes to a lake to evade his captor. Chaka seems to think Daniel has a Goa'uld inside him.
   O'Neill gets Teal'c to tie everyone up as a scheme for finding out if anyone has been taken over. The plan almost backfires when two of the rescue squad turn out to be Goa'ulds. Daniel introduces Chaka to his Earth rations and admires his cave paintings. The Alpha-male of the pack attacks when SG-1 catches up with Daniel and Chaka, so Chaka kills the previous leader and takes over the tribe. And Daniel gets to go home.

409 Scorched Earth
SG-1 have helped to relocate the Enkarans from a planet under Goa'uld control to a world with an ozone layer thick enough to prevent blindness due to radiation. But a huge spaceship appears and starts sterilizing the planet and converting it for a sulphur-based lifeform.
   SG-1 are beamed up to the ship where they meet Lotan, a biomechanical interface built to look like an Enkaran. Lotan explains that the ship contains just enough materials for transforming one planet and if the process is stopped, the Gadmeer civilization will become extinct.
   Gen. Hammond refuses to get involved so O'Neill orders Carter to turn a naquadah generator into a bomb. Meanwhile, Daniel looks for an alternative solution. He shows Lotan the planet and finds that the ship came across the Enkaran homeworld on its travels but rejected it because it was already inhabited.
   Lotan beams the bomb into the air, where it explodes harmlessly, and suspends the transformation process. The deal struck is that Lotan takes the Enkarans back to the world from which their ancestors were kidnapped by the Goa'uld and the ship returns without Lotan to continue making a new homeworld for the Gadmeer.

410 Beneath the Surface
SG-1 are stuck in an underground power plant; they have been captured and brain-wiped by a civilization which is surviving an Ice Age by using slave workers, who don't know that the city exists, to generate power with clapped out equipment. O'Neill, Carter, Daniel and Teal'c are now Jona, Therra, Carlin and Tor but the Earthers feel they are connected somehow.
   Administrator Calder doesn't want Carter to improve the power generation system because there is nowhere for the workers to go, and the city above is free of crime and unemployment. He has told Gen. Hammond that SG-1 died while exploring a glacier. An SGC rescue team concludes there's nothing to see in the ice fields and O'Neill would never have let the team go there.
   Daniel starts to wonder about his origins but a stroppy female friend discourages him. SG-1 prevents an explosion, they get back together and Daniel realizes they have to question everything. Teal'c is ailing after a second memory wipe but he goes into Kel'nori to let his symbiote heal him.
   O'Neill recalls telling Administrator Calder he won't recommend trade with his civilization. Branna, one of the locals who's in charge of the workers, has a change of heart about keeping SG-1 prisoner as they recover their memories. Calder decides to do away with SG-1. He shoots Branna in the arm but Teal'c grabs him. And finally, O'Neill shows the city to the workers and offers them relocation on a planet where the beaches go on forever.

411 Point of No Return
Colonel O'Neill goes to meet a guy called Martin, who looks like a routine conspiracy nut; but knows about the stargate. Martin isn't just interested in outer space, he is from outer space! He has cupboards full of psychiatric drugs, but they have been tampered with. And he also finds a small spacecraft, which the others members of his party blow up.
   Martin remembers his stargate co-ordinates and SG-1 find that he and his buddies are deserters from a war with the Goa'uld and their planet has been destroyed.

412 Tangent
Teal'c and O'Neill test the X-301, a hybrid interceptor based on a Goa'uld death glider and the ship shoots off into space. Apophis's voice tells them that the glider will return to his homeworld because he's installed an automatic recall device since Teal's defection. And the trip will take hundreds of years.
   Carter suggests a sling-shot around Jupiter to get the X-301 heading back to Earth but the controls are frozen, the missile attached to the ship don't have enough power for the job and one of them strikes the ship and damages it.
   Carter and Daniel crash into a Tok'ra mission and get Jacob Carter to flog a captured Goa'uld cargo ship to death to mount a rescue mission. And at the end, Teal'c and O'Neill have to eject into free space so they can be ringed aboard the cargo ship and returned to Earth.

413 The Curse
Dr. Jordan, Daniel's old professor of archaeology, is killed in a laboratory explosion. At the funeral, he meets two old colleagues, friendly Sarah and hostile Stephen. The rest of SG-1 are on holiday. Carter is messing with her motorbike and Teal'c has to go fishing with O'Neill.
   Daniel comes across an artefact with hieroglyphs and Goa'uld markings. A MRI scan shows that there is a Goa'uld, Isis, in the canopic jar, and Dr. Fraiser cuts it up and pronounces it fresh. The unscrupulous Stephen is Daniel's prime suspect for writing off the prof and nicking artefacts said to have been lost in the explosion; including another jar containing another Goa'uld.
   Everyone heads for Egypt and the other Goa'uld, Osiris, turned out to be infesting Sarah, [well, she's British so she has to be the bad guy on American TV]. And she escapes in a Goa'uld mini-pyramid spacecraft.

414 The Serpent's Venom
On Chulak looking for support for a Jaffa rebellion, Teal'c is captured by the Goa'uld Heru'ur and tortured. The rest of SG-1, and Jacob Carter, get the job of preventing Apophis from forming an alliance with Heru'ur. When they arrive at the neutral territory chosen for the meeting, they find an ancient minefield around the planet.
   Jacob Carter rings one of the mines aboard his cargo ship and Sam and Daniel figure out how to re-program it to attack Apophis' ship. Jacob mentions that the last time a Tok'ra tried to do this, he was never heard from again. Apophis arrives and SG-1, listening in on the negotiations, hear that Heru'ur is offering Teal'c as a gift to Apophis. SG-1 want to rescue him.. Jacob Carter says Teal'c is expendable and the success of the mission outweigh his life. Even so, they try, and fail, to intercept someone being ringed to Apophis's ship.
   The mine blasts Apophis's ship but he has a cloaked fleet; the Tok'ra didn't know the Goa'uld could cloak something as big as a mothership. Teal'c has made a convert to his cause, who helps his to escape and rings a dead minor Goa'uld to Apophis's ship instead of Teal'c. Apophis wipes out Heru'ur, Teal'c is rescued and Sel'mac decides they've achieved the worst possible outcome; Apophis adding the remains of Heru'ur's army to his own.

415 Chain Reaction
When SG-1 return under fire, General Hammond tells them he's tired of sending people into danger and he's quitting. His replacement, General Bauer, wants to see immediate benefits from the stargate programme. So SG-1 is disbanded. Carter is put to work on a naquadah-enhanced nuclear weapon, Daniel is reduced to a occasional consultant, Teal'c is moved to SG-3 and Col. O'Neill has to put bullet points into his reports.
   NID took Hammond's grand-daughters for a ride to persuade him to quit. O'Neill gets Col. Maybourne out of gaol and learns that NID thinks Hammond wasn't trying hard enough to win alien technology and the Russians were made to close down their stargate as the price of co-operation, leaving the one at the SGC the only operational stargate on Earth and a target for an NID takeover.
   SG-3 is almost wiped out getting more naquadah from a Goa'uld stronghold. Gen. Bauer is determined to test Carter's bomb on a planet abandoned by the Goa'uld despite her warnings. The explosion leaves the SGC connected to a source of strong gamma rays. Carter orders an evacuation when Gen. Bauer freezes. Luckily, the stargate shuts down soon after the 38 minute limit.
   Meanwhile, O'Neill and Maybourne dodge NID goon squads and invade the home of Senator Kinsey. Maybourne raids his computer for blackmail dirt and everything returns to normal at the SGC. And Maybourne blags his way to freedom with a personal copy of the blackmail data.

416 2010
9 years in the future, Carter is married to a diplomat and they haven't produced any kids after 3 years. Kinsey is president, he made an alliance with the Ashen, who saved Earth from the Goa'uld and the stargate is in public use. O'Neill doesn't attend a ceremony to award SG-1 with medals and Gen. Hammond is dead.
   Dr. Fraiser, feeling redundant as the Ashen have provided anti-ageing and anti-cancer vaccines, finds Carter can't have children even though an Ashen doctor says there's nothing wrong with her. Carter uses the Ashen computer to find that the human birth rate is down 91% in 2 years.
   The Ashen are conquering Earth by waiting until the human race dies out after sterilizing everyone. Fraiser now thinks Gen. Hammond was murdered. Carter realizes they have to send a message back to 2001 using the time-travel technique of episode 221 (1969).
   O'Neill doesn't want to know at first because he said the Ashen were up to no good but SG-1 gets back together. Sam's husband, who knew Earth's population was being ‘stabilized' but didn't suspect the Ashen had genocide on the menu, retrieves the last working GDO from the Oval Office. Everyone is killed sending the message back in time but Gen. Hammond takes the Ashen homeworld off the dialling computer at once.

417 Absolute Power
Daniel's father in law had been hearing mysterious voices on Abydos and out of a dust devil steps the Harcesis child, who speaks Zen-bollocks fluently. Dr. Fraiser finds deactivated nanocytes in his blood to explain his rapid growth. Oma buried his Goa'uld memories.
   The Tok'ra reckon they can retrieve them. The kid zaps Daniel, who goes off on a long dream sequence, in which he develops a satellite defence system for Earth, which can fight off the Goa'uld, he becomes the equivalent of a Goa'uld himself and he zaps Moscow when the Russians get uppity.
   The Tok'ra run their truth gadget over the kid and decide he's not a Goa'uld plant. The kid tells them he's not going to let them unlock his memories as the only way to avoid being contaminated by Goa'uld evil is not to mess with it. Daniel wakes up and the kid exits through the stargate as a glowing energy creature.

418 The Light
A member of SG-5 returns from an alien planet and commits suicide. The rest of the to go into terminal comas and Daniel, who also visited the planet, tries to kill himself. The rest of SG-1 take Daniel to the planet as he is about to croak. They find a room containing an addictive light show, which has a hypnotic effect. Worse, if they leave the planet, they suffer withdrawal symptoms which make them terminally depressed and cause them to die of a system shut-down.
   O'Neill finds a young boy called Loran, who seems to be immune to the effects of the device in what is the equivalent of a Goa'uld opium den. Loran reveals the controls for the system. After SG-1 find 2 skeletons outside the building, Loran says he killed his parents. He refused to bring them food until they left the chamber, realized what was going on and killed themselves.
   Carter eventually works out that she can shut the device down slowly over about 3 weeks to bring them out of their addiction without pain. So SG-1 get a 3-week holiday.

419 Prodigy
SG-1 are on separate assignments. Carter gives a lecture at the Air Force Academy, where she meets Jennifer Hailey, a stroppy kid who thinks the rules don't apply to her. She is on course to be chucked out of the Academy but Carter thinks she's worth saving as the SGC needs kids like her, and she thinks Hailey will stop acting up if she sees part of the big picture.
   Off-world, O'Neill is being harassed by scientists eager to set up a permanent base and unwilling to wait for the military to check the place over. There are small, flying glow-balls on the moon, which is a satellite of a gas giant. The scientists want to investigate them but O'Neill says he needs to know the threat level first.
   Carter takes Hailey to the SGC then the moon, where the glowbugs have killed one of the scientists. Everyone ends up stuck in a building, protected by an improvised electric field and not knowing how long the fuel in the distant generator will last.
   Carter and Hailey come up with mutually exclusive motives for the glowbugs' stroppiness. O'Neill confounds the kid by taking a command decision which makes who's right and who's wrong irrelevant. O'Neill has to be shot with a zat gun to boost his body's electric field, and he manages to open the gate with some help from Teal'c, and the survivors abandon the moon.

420 Entity
A MALP sent to a planet in the Ancients' catalogue starts flying then sparks shoot everywhere in the control room. O'Neill hits the power cut-off but some form of energy has come through the stargate and found its way into the base computer. Daniel thinks it's a reciprocal probe, and it's learning about the SGC.
   General Hammond puts the base into quarantine, the power is shut off and Carter does a low-level format on the hard drives. But the entity has taken refuge in the MALP room on level 24 and built itself an electronic ‘nest'. Carter thinks the electronic entity is intelligent and trying to survive. O'Neill wants to blow it to hell. Sam and Daniel want to chat to it.
   The entity sets a trap and downloads itself into Carter. Then, through its new host, it says radio waves from the MALP were damaging its world and it came to the SGC on a mission of destruction; but the gate was closed too soon. O'Neill tells it to get the hell out of Carter or he'll send dozens of MALPs to its world. So the entity tries to move to the mainframe again.
   O'Neill zats Carter twice, which is normally fatal. But the entity has moved Carter's mind to its ‘nest' and Dr. Fraiser is able to restore her to her body.

421 Double Jeopardy
This episode is based on 2 previous ones. SG-1 are grabbed at the start of a mission and accused of letting the locals down. They told them to bury their stargate after revolting against the Goa'uld but Cronus arrived in a spaceship to take over the planet. The only problem for SG-1 is that they have never been to the planet before. And when Daniel is executed by beheading, he turns out to be a machine!
   This version of SG-1 turns out to be the mechanicals created earlier by Harlan to repair his crumbling complex (episode 119). When Harlan arrives on Earth to report that his SG-1 has gone exploring, all becomes clear.
   The Colonels O'Neill argue a lot and the teams combine forces to fight Cronus. The Teal'cs zap him to avenge the death of the real Teal'c's father, the mechanical Carter and O'Neill die appropriately heroic deaths and we are left with the planet free again and only one SG-1. Unless Harlan makes another, of course.

422 Exodus
After zapping Cronus, SG-1 lend his mothership to the Tok'ra so that they can move their stargate and their base to somewhere off the Goa'uld map. The spy in the Tok'ra camp is arrested but, of course, he escapes. So the Tok'ra decide to blow up their star by connecting it via their stargate to the planet which was being eaten by a black hole [see A Matter of Time]. The idea is to blow up Apophis and his fleet when they arrive.
   A Goa'uld ship sent to pick up the spy zaps the mothership and O'Neill and Teal'c go after it in a rover and shoot it down, but they crash on the planet. Teal'c is shot and his body taken to Apophis. O'Neill is lifted onto the mothership with the ring system and the sun goes nova. The mothership ends up 125 years from home in a matter of seconds [someone's been watching Star Trek Voyager!] and another ship arrives beside it as those aboard are wondering what to do next. (Part 1 of 2)
