SynopsisEdit

Colonel Jack O'Neill is pressured by the Russians to allow a Russian to join SG-1, while Jonas Quinn makes himself at home in the SGC. Major Samantha Carter works on the new X-302 hyperspace fighter, and Teal'c has an unhappy reunion with Rya'c. Also, Anubis plans to use a weapon to destroy Earth's Stargate, along with the planet itself.

PlotEdit

On a planet, SG-1 is forced to retreat while their fourth member apologizes to the injured Colonel Jack O'Neill. They are able to go through the Stargate, followed by a spear, however the fourth member, named Captain Hagman, is stunned. Later Major Samantha Carter visits Jonas Quinn and asks him whether he wants to leave the base with SG-1. He happily agrees and they go to Area 51. There they are confronted with the newly built X-302 hyperspace fighter. They are informed about several technical facts of the ship and that the ship also has a hyperspace engine. O'Neill doesn't want to make the test flight with it (because of the incident with the X-301 Interceptor).

At Stargate Command, O'Neill meets with Major General George S. Hammond and Colonel Chekov, who wants a Russian as the new fourth member of SG-1; O'Neill denies the proposal. Carter discusses the X-302 with Jonas, who admits that he wants to be a member of SG-1. Jonas then trains with Teal'c and they talk about O'Neill's mistrust in him; they agree that Teal'c should talk with O'Neill. When Teal'c talks with his Colonel, O'Neill claims that Jonas is an alien, which Teal'c doesn't like. Suddenly the alarm sounds and Bra'tac arrives. He tells Teal'c that Drey'auc is ill and they both go through the gate. Jonas later talks with Sam about Teal'c, when suddenly the gate is dialed. For over 38 minutes, the maximum amount of time a Stargate should be open, nothing seems to arrive through. They later find out that the energy of the gate is rapidly rising.

On another planet, Teal'c talks with Bra'tac about the situation when an angry Rya'c leaves a tent and reveals that his mother is dead, much to Teal'c's shock. He then talks with Rya'c, who at first wants to kill him but then starts to beat him down. Bra'tac stops him after some time but he is still angry. Drey'auc is later burned and Teal'c then talks with his son, who is still angry but finally starts to cry.

At the SGC, Carter reveals that the energy continually rises and that the gate will eventually explode, which will even cause the destruction of Earth. Later Dr. Rodney McKay appears because he is ordered to help. While Chekov is angry that there is nothing they can do, Carter tells them that the X-302 will soon be ready so that they can contact the Asgard. O'Neill and Carter then prepare to start with X-302 but Jonas and McKay tell Hammond that the hyperspace engine won't work because of the instability of the Naquadria. They nevertheless start and all looks good but when they want to enter hyperspace they miss the window and the mission is canceled.

In the meantime, a Jaffa named Shaq'rel comes with a Tel'tak and warns Teal'c and Bra'tac that Anubis is going to attack Earth's Stargate. They start to dial the worlds which belong to Anubis and finally find out which world the weapon is on.

Back at SGC, Carter discusses what went wrong with the ship but they can only assume what caused the problem. O'Neill later talks with Carter but she doesn't know what to do. Suddenly the lights start to flash and when they both enter the gate room, a hologram of Anubis appears. The Goa'uld tells them in a very dramatic way that they will all be destroyed soon, much to O'Neill's annoyance.

NotesEdit

• This episode features a brand new opening sequence, with various shots of the gate spinning, and Michael Shanks' name being removed to make way for Corin Nemec's in between Christopher Judge and Don S. Davis. When Judge's name comes up the glyph followed by the camera is the point of origin for Chulak.
• The events of "Redemption, Part 1" take place three months after "Revelations".
• The role of Shaq'rel, was originally offered to Andromeda actor Keith Hamilton Cobb but he turned it down.
• Colonel Jack O'Neill's injured leg was based on his real-life injury which was caused by falling while carrying his 3-year old daughter just days before filming began.
• This is the first original episode to air on the Sci-Fi Channel after moving from Showtime after five seasons.
• This episode ended Stargate SG-1 tradition of beginning a new season with the conclusion to a two part episode. However, it was revived for the Season 9 finale "Camelot" and the Season 10 premiere "Flesh and Blood".
• This episode marks the first appearance of Lt. Graham Simmons (Tobias Mehler) since the Season 2 episode "Serpent's Song" as well as his final appearance overall.
• This episode marks the first appearance of Rya'c (Neil Denis) since the Season 2 episode "Family".

GoofsEdit

• There was an intentional goof in the 18th minute of the episode: a monitor displayed the time that the wormhole had been active, but its reflection was not reflected mirror-inverted in the briefing room window, but displayed forwardly. On the DVD, the writers revealed that this was done on purpose so that the viewer would have a concept of the time running out even when the timer wasn't in shot.
• When Major Samantha Carter enters the control room, an image of the Stargate shows that the gate is inactive, despite it actually being active.
• As the X-302 hyperspace fighter is preparing to travel through hyperspace to Abydos, the glyph markings on its screen show the constellations Sagittarius and Orion in the wrong places.
