[edit] Plot

Sheppard's team slog through woods on an unnamed planet, pursuing a tip from Teyla's contacts. Rodney whines as usual. The team is suddenly stunned by Wraith weapons wielded by humans, and awake sitting at a table on another planet. There they are greeted by the former Lieutenant Ford.

He invites them to eat, and tells them what happened to him after he was culled by a Wraith dart (see "Runner"): he reveals how he was rematerialized on a cruiser, escaped, met some men in a pub, told them of the enzyme and organized them into an enzyme-powered strike team. They even captured some Wraith whom they keep stunned inside their base to get more enzymes.

Afterwards, Ford tells them that he wants to show Sheppard's team how good they have become as a result of the enzyme. Later, he reveals that he put some enzyme into the team's meal, which makes Rodney especially angry. Sheppard then talks to Ford privately, who tells him that his food was clean so that he can convince Weir that his team became better because of the enzyme. He allows them to go around freely but when they check the Stargate they find that Ford removed the control crystals from the DHD so they can't escape. Sheppard then decides to play along with Ford's plan.

Back at Atlantis Weir tells Major Lorne that Sheppard's team hasn't made contact, so they decide to search for them. Ford orders Teyla and Sheppard to accompanying his people on an off-world mission. On the planet they find a base of the Genii from whom they plan to steal the weapons which the Genii stole from Atlantis. Meanwhile Ford's lab man, Jace, reveals to Rodney that the Wraith are intensely territorial and working on a system to prevent inter-ship communication. Elsewhere, Ford trains with his men then talks with Ronon about the enzyme.

On the off-world mission, one man of the team is killed but the team still manages to retrieve the stolen Atlantis C-4. After the mission, Kanayo reveals to Sheppard and Teyla that they want to destroy a Wraith Hive-Ship. Back in the base Ford shows them a Wraith data storage device from which they retrieved the course of a hive ship which they want to destroy. Rodney thinks this is crazy even when Ford shows them a damaged Wraith dart which Rodney has to repair and Sheppard to fly. Sheppard convinces Rodney to do it, so they can escape back to Atlantis. Afterwards the Lt. Col. coerces Ford into accepting some conditions.

Lorne's team meanwhile finds out that Sheppard's team isn't on the planet anymore. Radek Zelenka then checks the DHD whence they get 50 gate addresses which makes it nearly impossible to find the team. Lorne then talks with Weir and tells her what they found out.

Back at Ford's base Rodney repairs the dart while Teyla and Ronon train with Ford's team and get more of the enzyme. Sheppard talks with Ford about his relatives on Earth but Ford still wants to do this mission. Afterwards he talks with Ronon and Teyla who become more aggressive because of the enzyme. Afterwards Rodney comes, reveals that the dart is ready, and then shows Sheppard how its new Earth-people controls work. But then Ford reveals that he knows about Sheppard's plan to escape back to Atlantis and thus decides to let Rodney stay on the planet. Sheppard has no other option but to follow Ford's orders. He then activates the dart and collects Ford's team with the culling beam.

He then flies with the dart to the planet and from there to the hive ship. But when they approach it the auto pilot activates and the ship becomes automated. Inside the ship he rematerializes the team but a few of them fall from a cliff because Sheppard rematerialized them while flying blind. Sheppard then lands and attacks some Wraith, triggering an alarm and a big fight against hordes of defending Wraith. They are overwhelmed and stunned.

They wake up in a cell where Ford accuses Sheppard of sabotaging his mission. Some Wraith then enter and want to know who flew the dart and when Sheppard reveals that it was him he is brought away. He is brought into a large room where he is confronted by the Queen of the ship.

[edit] Notes

• One of the exotic black & white computer displays in Ford's headquarters is actually a Philco Predicta TV set.
• While Sheppard is flying the dart in automatic pilot he says, "R2, I need you to turn the auto pilot off. Now!" This is a clear reference to The Phantom Menace, in which Anakin Skywalker makes a similar request.
