[edit] Plot

The SG-1 team (minus Teal'c) becomes guinea pigs for a Tok'ra experiment which uses special armbands to enhances all their natural abilities. The armbands do not work where there is a symbiote present, so they won't work on the Tok'ra or Teal'c. While wearing the armbands, their strength, speed, agility, and metabolism (and therefore appetite) are all increased massively. At the same time, the device decreases their ability to make rational decisions

This new sense of invulnerability leads the three to rash actions, such as going to a local steak house against a direct order and getting into a brawl. They decide that they are capable of taking on a large force of Jaffa that are guarding a Goa'uld ship under construction. The altered SG-1 members are in the middle of sabotaging this ship when their armbands fail. Jack and Daniel make it out okay, but Carter becomes trapped behind an energy shield prompting Jack to stay behind with her. Fortunately, they are able to escape with Teal'c's assistance.

[edit] Notes

• A scene was filmed which showed Daniel stealing the naquadah, but did not make it into the episode. However, it was shown in flashback in "Divide and Conquer".
• At one point, Daniel Jackson states that the inscription on his armband says, "With great power comes great responsibility", which is in fact the motto used in the Spider-Man comics.
