Seth is the second episode of the third season of Stargate SG-1.

[edit] Plot

The Tok'ra inform SG-1 that a Goa'uld named Seth has been missing from their records (they describe as a sort of "Goa-uld census") for thousands of years, about since Ra left Earth. The Tok'ra have come to the conclusion that Seth is still living on Earth and Selmak arrives to help them capture Seth. Daniel Jackson begins scouring historical records and finds that several "cults of Seth" have existed in many cultures throughout history. And he finds that the ATF has begun monitoring a modern cult led by a Seth Fargough. Several deprogrammed former cult members have stated that among other thing that Seth has the ability to make his own eyes glow.  

SG-1 arrives as the ATF is ready to surround the compound. Daniel Jackson mentions that Seth has probably set up escape tunnels around the compound. Seth uses an intelligent virus to brainwash the cult, so SG-1 used electrical shock devices built into ear pieces to counter the effects of the virus. After infiltrating the compound through the escape tunnels, the team manages to free Seth's followers from his mind control by shocking them with zats, but Carter is forced to kill Seth with a weapon given to her by Selmak before he could use his powers to hurt anyone else.

[edit] Notes

• This is the first episode in which Teal'c laughs, after attempting to translate a Jaffa joke about Setesh.
• When Seth is killed, "Hail Dorothy" is said by Jack O'Neill, a reference to The Wizard of Oz
• As in the episode Family, a shot from a Zat'nik'tel does not stun the victim, suggesting multiple settings for the weapon. In this episode the victims did not even suffer much pain. This could be explained by the fact they were infected by a virus like organism.
