The Untouched, lived on the bright side, a Minoan like civilization. The Touched, who live on the dark side, are primitives with the instincts of animals. On returning to Earth, the SG-3 marines and all but two members of the SG-1 team (Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c) began to exhibit the brutality of the Touched, which rapidly spreads throughout Stargate Command.

A team of archaeologists in Mexico uncovered an ancient tomb with a Sarcophagus inside, which contained the Goa'uld called Hathor.
