[edit] Plot

The SGC receives an unscheduled off world activation, and with it an old IDC that had been used by Lt. Col. Carter. Then comes the message, "SEND MALP," and when one is sent through, it reveals a second Carter. She identifies herself as a human-form Replicator, designed by Fifth with all of Carter's memories and thoughts. Her message is urgent: Fifth has discovered a way to overcome the weapon O'Neill designed while he had the Ancient database downloaded into his brain. The replicator version of Carter has rebelled against Fifth and offers her assistance in altering the weapon to work again.

Carter accepts the proposal, and with O'Neill's approval, goes to the Alpha Site to work on the weapon.

However, it is eventually revealed that Fifth had no immunity to the weapon, and in fact he had sent her to study the weapon and develop the very cipher she claimed to be trying to defeat. Eventually, the replicator version of Carter betrays both the SGC and Fifth, taking her new immunity and escaping through the Stargate to continue building up the Replicators' forces.

[edit] Notes

• "Gemini" is Latin for "twins." It is also the name of a constellation depicting the mythical twin brothers Castor and Pollux.
• In reference to a disruptor satellite that was requested from the Asgard to protect the Alpha Site from a potential Replicator attack O'Neill states, "Be there in thirty minutes, or it's free." This is a cultural reference to pizza delivery places in the U.S. which promise delivery within thirty minutes of the order, or it's free.
• Daniel Jackson only appears at the beginning of this episode. It's often presumed that this episode takes place at about the same time as the next episode, "Prometheus Unbound," so, therefore, Daniel would be on the Prometheus during the majority of the action in this episode.
• Broadcast in the USA as the 11th episode of the season, it is the 12th on Region 2 DVDs. The episode marks the return of Replicator Carter, who was last seen briefly at the end of New Order, Part 2, the season opener.
