[edit] Plot

Colonel Makepeace returns to inform Hammond that the Tok'ra have found SG-1. Hammond sends SG-teams 3,5,6 and 11 to find them.

In the mock-up SGC, Hathor ponders which member of SG-1 should be a new host. The mature symbiote chooses Jack, but before she could implant the symbiote, Jack attacks and is zatted by a lesser female Goa'uld. In the stasis chamber, Hathor implants the symbiote and tells O'Neill that once it takes control, he'll swear loyalty to her. Suddenly, gunfire is heard and Hathor commands the Jaffa head to find the source. The lesser female Goa'uld reveals herself as a Tok'ra and puts Jack in stasis to kill the symbiote. Hathor finds out and uses her hand device to throw the Tok'ra against the wall.

Makepeace and his men free Carter and Daniel, but soon get a message from the men at the Stargate: They have been ambushed. Carter, unaware that a Tok'ra spy has helped Jack, informs Makepeace that O'Neill is now a host. Makepeace declares Jack a casualty and they head to the gate. When they get there, the gate is guarded by Jaffa, a forcefield and staff cannon towers. A cannon blast from one of the towers punches a hole in the ground as Makepeace dives for cover. Noticing a strange blue glow eminating from the hole, he looks inside to find a network of tunnels created by the Tok'ra spy as a means of entering and exiting the compound unseen. They are forced to retreat to the Tok'ra tunnels where they attempt to find a way under the shield, but discover it extends underground and they cannot pass.Meanwhile, Hammond contacts them for an update because they are now behind schedule. As he lets the teams know he will send reinforecements, he scans the area with the MALP. Trofsky fires at it with his zat and disables it. Because of the sheer size of the forcefield, Carter deduces there must be a massive generator nearby. She takes with her a device to detect energy readings and heads back to the fake SGC to shut down the power to the shield.

On Chulak, Teal'c finds Bra'tac left for dead. After helping Bra'tac, he summons nearby Jaffa together to speak with them. He announces to the Jaffa that the Goa'uld are false gods and asks for help in fighting alongside the Tau'ri. Only a few Jaffa and Bra'tac remain to join the fight, but it is revealed that Hammond has tagged along because the President refused to risk any more lives to save SG-1. He went to Chulak to find Teal'c, to ask for reinforcements and to help out himself. Bra'tac leads them to a now derelict Needle Threader hidden nearby many years ago.  

Makepeace, Daniel, and everyone else still hiding in the Tok'ra tunnels are captured by the Jaffa. In the Goa'uld compound, Carter finds the female Tok'ra and revives O'Neill, but is attacked by Hathor. O'Neill manages to throw Hathor into the stasis chamber unprotected, which kills her. The female Tok'ra tells them where the power generator for the shield is. They arrive in the fake gate room and Jack flips a switch, revealing the generator.

At the gate, O'Neill confronts the Jaffa, first pretending to be a Goa'uld, then telling them that Hathor is dead. They refuse to believe him. Sam blows the generator at the last minute. Suddenly, the gate activates and a Needle Threader (flown by Teal'c and Hammond), Bra'tac and rebel Jaffa came through. Trofsky is finally killed by Bra'tac and the two staff cannon emplacements are destroyed by Hammond and Teal'c. Once all of Hathor's Jaffa were taken care of, SG-1 returns home.
