SynopsisEdit

In order to learn more about Goa'uld symbiotes, SG-1 returns to Chulak to retrieve one. Meanwhile, Teal'c finds his family and tries to keep his son, Rya'c, from being implanted with a symbiote.

PlotEdit

After a failed experiment to remove Teal'c's symbiote and maintain his body with drugs, he reluctantly asks Major General George S. Hammond and the others for assistance - he has a family he left behind to join Stargate Command, but his son Rya'c is scheduled to receive a Goa'uld larva, which will make him dependent on the alien symbiotes. He asks the SGC for assistance and when they refuse, he tries to go on his own. Hammond stops him, but after he finds out about Rya'c and seeing Teal'c’s determination, and with the promise of recovering a larva and undermining the Jaffa's belief in the divinity of the Goa'uld, Hammond eventually agrees.

SG-1 returns to Chulak, disguised as scholars of the court of Apophis, and at Teal'c’s old home (now burned down) they make contact with Bra'tac, another Jaffa rebel and Teal'c's old mentor. Since being declared "shol'va" (outcast, cursed, condemned), Teal'c's family has been demoted in Jaffa society and live in a primitive camp. Bra'tac takes Colonel Jack O'Neill and Teal'c to Teal'c's family while Captain Samantha Carter and Dr. Daniel Jackson watch the Gate. They spot priests delivering a container of Goa'uld larva to a nearby temple and follow.

Teal'c interrupts the implantation ceremony, the prim'ta, and rescues his son. Drey'auc is none too happy with the low straits that Teal'c's actions have brought their family to. Worse, Teal'c’s son is suffering from the equivalent of scarlet fever and only a Goa'uld symbiote can "cure" him. Daniel and Sam have sneaked into the temple and taken a larva. Daniel wants to kill the remaining larvae to prevent them from taking human hosts in the future, but Sam argues that it is immoral to kill them as they are now. Daniel appears to agree but as they are leaving he shoots the tank, killing them all. Before they can get back it is too late - Rya'c is on the verge of death and Teal'c gives up his symbiote to give it to his son.

Without his symbiote, Teal'c is dying as his immune system shuts down. Daniel and Sam show up and they give the captured symbiote to Teal'c. As he begins to recover they head for the Stargate. Once Teal'c is strong enough he says goodbye to his son and wife, telling them to claim he kidnapped them against their will.

After a brief reconciliation, Drey'auc leaves with Rya'c, and Bra'tac takes them to the Gate pretending he has taken SG-1 prisoner. Bra'tac takes out the guards and priests at the Gate, and then stays behind as SG-1 makes their escape.

Notable QuotesEdit

O'Neill: Well, we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
Bra'tac: No. The bridge is too well guarded.
O'Neill: No, actually there, I was using a cliché that...

Carter: What will you do? When the priests come to, they'll tell Apophis that you betrayed them.
Bra'tac: I suppose, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

Bra'tac: Not bad for a man of 133.
O'Neill: Not bad at all.

O'Neill: All right, here's the plan.
Bra'tac: You will do as I say.
O'Neill: Right.

Bra'tac: Teal'c tells me your world is without gods. Difficult to imagine.
O'Neill: Well it's not without gods. A lot of people believe there's a God. Not everyone believes in the same God, the same way but...let's just say nobody believes in anyone with glowing eyes and a snake in his head.
Bra'tac: Then you serve no one?
O'Neill: I serve the SGC under a General Hammond.
Bra'tac: So this Hammond is...?
O'Neill: Just a man. A very good...very bald man. From Texas.
