Show and Tell is the twentieth episode of the second season of Stargate SG-1.

Plot

During an unscheduled activation of the Stargate, the iris continually opens, despite SGC attempts to close it. A young boy with a bald head steps through and Carter examines him. She finds that he is neither a Goa'uld nor a Jaffa. The young boy then claims that he was sent to warn the humans.

After further examinations to make sure he doesn't have a small gate-destroying bomb or poisoned teeth like other alien children that came through, the boy tells them that his "Mother" wants him to talk with O'Neill alone. Once everyone leaves, the boy tells O'Neill about his mother's findings after she followed the SG team through the Stargate. He takes on the name of Charlie, O'Neill's son. Charlie comes from Reetalia, where invisible aliens, the Reetou, live. The Goa'uld hate the Reetou and have been trying to wipe them out. As a genetically engineered human, his rapid growth was failing, and it was necessary for him to come to Earth immediately. He explains that Mother kept the Iris open for him and that another rebel faction of the Reetou wants to defeat the Goa'uld by destroying all humans, thus depriving the Goa'uld of potential hosts.

SG-1 call the Tok'ra with the Tollan device. Jacob and another Tok'ra bring in devices called Transphase Eradication Rods which can detect a Reetou and destroy it. Charlie gives SG-1 the co-ordinates for the rebel base.

Upon arriving, they discover the entire faction of rebels.

Returning, they learned that five rebel Reetou had followed them. Sealing the base to make sure the Reetou don't use their bombs to destroy cities, they made a sweep of the base. In the infirmary, Charlie's mother shot a rebel but was shot by another. After cleaning the base, Charlie's major organs began to shut down. The Tok'ra offered to take him in as one of their own.

Notes

• This is the first and only time the Reetou are seen on Stargate SG-1, but they are often represented as a possible explanation for unexplained events.
• At the beginning of the episode, "Charlie" says his mom came through with Tonane in the episode "Spirits".
