"Lockdown" is the third episode of the eighth season of Stargate SG-1.

SynopsisEdit

After Jack O'Neill is promoted to Brigadier General and commander of Stargate Command, and months after defeating Anubis' fleet, the Russians are combing the wreckage, where they encounter a strange entity. Later, the entity makes its way to the SGC to get out of Earth.

PlotEdit

Several months after the destruction of Anubis's fleet, Stargate Command gets a new member in form of the Russian Colonel Alexi Vaselov, who promptly asks Brigadier General Jack O'Neill for a place on SG-1. After the General rejects this request Vaselov talks with Dr. Daniel Jackson about this but suddenly collapses. When he wakes up again he doesn't remember anything since he was in Russia and his body shows signs of extensive viral damage. O'Neill orders the base to be shut off but Daniel, who wants to leave on a mission with SG-11, suddenly takes a weapon and injures several people before he is stopped by O'Neill and Teal'c.

Meanwhile Vaselov remembers that he felt like being trapped in his own body and he blames himself for what has happened. It is also found out that Russian Cosmonaut Anatole Konstantinov from the International Space Station died a week after returning to Russia, exhibiting the same symptoms as Vaselov. Later Daniel wakes up and quickly remembers that he was taken over by Anubis. It turns out that the former System Lord, thanks to his half-ascended form as a dark specter, can jump from person to person. It is concluded that Anubis plans on leaving the base through the Stargate because he can't use his ascended powers, since this would alert the Ancients. In the meantime Anubis easily eludes capture, prompting the SGC to execute a bold plan to stop his endless wave of murders.

This plan involves moving the control room and splitting the base into 3 using drop-down steel doors. The Stargate is in one section, the new control room is in another, and the room which controls the 'lockdown' is in the third. All staff are restricted to 1 section only. No movement between sections is allowed.

However, Anubis takes over Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter (in the section with the room which controls the 'lockdown'), and makes her schedule a program (including the self-destruct of the base) to open the doors temporarily, and she goes into the new control room and begins dialing the gate, but O'Neill tries to stop her. However, O'Neill is taken over and attempts to walk through the gate, but is stopped by the previously possessed Vaselov who came from the infirmary. Anubis possesses him, and walks through the Gate.

Anubis did not escape, though, as Carter changed the address to KS7-535, a freezing planet, and the temperature freezes Vaselov's body (as he is only in a hospital gown), so Anubis cannot re-dial the gate.
