Guest Stars : Kevin McNulty as Everett Rothwell, Eric Schneider
as Dr. McKenzie
Synopsis : During a routine mission,
the SG-1 team discovers a room containing the corpses -- a
league of Goa'uld who challenged the System Lords. One is
holding a tablet, and after Daniel touches it, he begins to
hear voices and see nightmarish visions. Medical tests indicate
schizophrenia. Whatever is interfering with Daniel's mind,
however, soon transfers to Teal'c with far more deadly consequences.
As the parasite leaves his body, Daniel hears the voice of
the dead Machello declaring death to the Goa'uld. Daniel realizes
he was infected by Machello's Goa'uld killing parasite, a
theory borne out by Teal'c's rapid deterioration. Believing
the tablet holds the key to Teal'c's survival, the team brings
it to the lab, but as they open it, the parasites ooze into
Dr. Frasier, Carter and O'Neill. Carter proves immune, but
with parasites inside them, Frasier and O'Neill deteriorate
rapidly and Hammond has no choice but to seal the lab off
with the three inside.

Jack O'Neill, Teal'c and Daniel Jackson travel to the planet
Orban as part of an exchange program. Daniel and Teal'c remain
on the planet -- Daniel to study an ancient mosaic pattern
on the floor of their Stargate room that he hopes will explain
the origin of the Orbanian people, and Teal'c to prepare the
Orbanians, should they ever encounter the Goa'uld, by sharing
his knowledge with them.
O'Neill travels back to earth with
a young Orbanian girl, Merrin, and her chaperone, Kalan,
to present the SGC with a valuable Naquadah reactor. All
are surprised when it is the young Merrin who volunteers
to stay at the SGC and teach Samantha Carter how to build
such a complicated technical device. As Carter and O'Neill
spend more time with Merrin, they become aware that she
is not a typical eleven-year-old. She is incredibly knowledgeable,
but has no understanding of fun or play.
O'Neill and the rest of SG-1 uncover
the truth behind Merrin's intelligence, and how it will
effect her and the other children of Orban. He defies orders
and sets out to change Merrin's fate by taking her off base,

Guest Stars : Jay Acovone as Major Kawalsky
Synopsis : SGC is taken aback when an
alternate reality version of Samantha Carter and the deceased
Major Kawalsky are found in a secured building in top secret
Area 51. To transport themselves to our present day Earth,
they used the Quantum Mirror (previously seen in "There
But For The Grace of God"). When the alternate Carter
and Kawalsky are taken to SGC for debriefing, they can't believe
how different everything is in this reality. Here Colonel
Jack O'Neill is alive, whereas in their alternate reality
he was married to Dr. Carter before his recent death at the
hands of the Goa'uld. Teal'c is an ally rather than the enemy,
Major Kawalsky has been dead for several months, and their
Samantha Carter is a Major who is identical in appearance
with the exception of her short hair.
Dr. Carter begins to suffer from
temporal distortion, a side effect caused by travel through
the quantum mirror. Major Carter determines that Dr. Carter
and Major Kawalsky will die unless they are returned to
their alternate reality. Unfortunately in their reality,
the Goa'uld are swarming the SGC and returning means certain
death. SG-1 must use their present day resources and knowledge
to return with their new acquaintances and overthrow the
Goa'uld.

Episode Number : 307
Guest Stars : Sam J. Jones as Aris Boch
Synopsis : SG-1 travels to planet PJ6-877
for a routine exploration. Almost immediately after arriving,
they are captured in an invisible force-field by alien bounty
hunter Aris Boch. Aris takes them to his cargo ship, which
is completely invisible from the outside. He has come to this
planet to hunt a Goa'uld named Kel'tar who is wanted by the
evil system Lord Sokar. He attempts to solicit help from SG-1,
in exchange for their freedom. He informs them that should
they refuse to participate, he will take them to Sokar. There
are sizable bounties on the heads of Teal'c and Samantha Carter,
a reasonable bounty on the head of Jack O'Neill, but Daniel
Jackson could probably only be traded for a day's rations.
After an unsuccessful escape attempt,
SG-1 agrees to help Aris Boch catch his Goa'uld. Carter
remains with Aris at a safe distance from the cave that
Kel'tar is hiding in, while Jack, Daniel and Teal'c go in
for the retrieval. When Kel'tar is captured, he informs
SG-1 that he is not Goa'uld, he is a Tok'ra named Korra.
If handed over by Aris to Sokar, he would torture Korra
to gain information that would endanger many other Tok'ra.
SG-1 and their Tok'ra ally must find
a means of escape or try to convince the cold-hearted bounty
hunter for once, to do the right thing. Unfortunately, Aris
Boch's life is dependent on something only the Goa'ulds
can supply to him. In order to get it, they must trade in
lives.

and his Tok'ra symbiote Selmak have been captured by the evil

into a literal Hell.
The Tok'ra believe that Sokar plans
to launch an attack against the other System Lords, gaining

about Sokar's plan. Unfortunately, no one has escaped from
Hell. No one except Jolinar, and she never told anyone else.
SG-1 and Martouf travel to Netu on
a space ship. En route, Martouf uses Tok'ra technology to
access any of Jolinar's memories that might still be in

remembrances from her own past, and dark secrets that Jolinar
never wished for Martouf to know.
Once they reach Netu, Teal'c stays

Directed by : Peter DeLuise
Episode Number : 316
Guest Stars : Dom DeLuise as Urgo
Synopsis : SG-1 steps through the Stargate
on their way to a paradise planet and end up at the SGC. Adding
to their confusion is Hammond's assertion that the team was
gone for fifteen hours, not the mere moment that the SG-1
perceived.
Dr. Fraiser's examinations of the
team members are inconclusive, but an analysis of the MALP
data reveals a brief initial image of an alien lab just
before the paradise view. They theorize the paradise image
is a means to lure people to the planet. But for what reason?
As they try to figure this out, each member of the team
begins to experience intense cravings.
Fraiser soon figures out why: A microscopic
implant in each of SG-1's brains. The team is relieved of
duty and isolated until Fraiser can find a way to remove
the implant. Soon SG-1 is hearing and seeing the image of
a man who identifies himself as "Urgo" - actually,
the manifestation of the implants in their heads. Only SG-1
can see and hear him. Though Urgo claims his only purpose
is to record new experiences, SG-1 begins to suspect he
may have another, more nefarious purpose.
However, getting rid of Urgo is not
going to be easy…

Episode Number : 317
Guest Stars : Michelle Greene as Laira
Synopsis : Colonel O'Neill and the rest
of the SG-1 team have established ties with a small village
on the planet Edora, and their leader LAIRA - with whom O'Neill
shares a mutual and quiet attraction. Everyone gathers to
watch the annual meteor shower referred to by the natives
as "fire rain." At first, it's a pleasant light
show, but an extra-large shooting star prompts Carter and
Daniel to conduct further research.
Their results indicate that Edora
travels through an asteroid belt every year, but every century
and a half the orbit hits a particularly dense section of
debris. Those meteors hit the surface of the planet to cataclysmic
effect, and apparently this is one of those years.
SG-1's evacuation of the villagers
is all but complete when Laira discovers her son missing.
O'Neill rushes off to assist her, ordering the rest of SG-1
to return to base. Carter and Teal'c barely make it out
in time before a large meteor hits the Stargate, burying
it and trapping O'Neill on Edora. Both sides deal with the
loss, but will they accept it?

Episode Number : 319
Synopsis : The
SG-1 team travels to the planet Bedrosia where, unbeknownst
to them, the planet's two cultures have been at war over their
opposed beliefs regarding the Stargate. Upon their arrival,
they are met by the curious Nyan, a scientist. Nyan explains
to them that their arrival through the Stargate proves that
the beliefs of his rival culture, the Optricians, is true
and that humans were brought to this planet by aliens through
a gateway. His culture, the Bedrosians, believe that human
life evolved without a gateway and was created by their God,
Nefertum.
The team's arrival is soon
detected by a group of Bedrosian soldiers and their leader,
Rigar. O'Neill, Carter and Daniel are captured, while Teal'c
and Nyan narrowly escape. During his escape, Teal'c is blinded.
Rigar cages his three prisoners and interrogates them as
to how they arrived on his planet. He believes that they
are Optrician spies, when they insist they traveled via
the Stargate. Rather than face the possibility that the
entire belief system of his people is wrong, Rigar chooses
to destroy all evidence, including SG-1. Though blinded,
Teal'c with Nyan's help must outwit the Bedrosians before
Rigar can execute his plan.

goes on to tell that it was as though Apophis was looking
for something. Daniel deduces that "something" to
be Harsesis, the child Apophis fathered with Sha're/Amaunet.
This forbidden child would contain all the knowledge of the
Goa'uld and, if he were to fall into the wrong hands, could
be the Goa'uld's undoing.
Using the combined knowledge of Bra'tac,
Daniel, and the available computer analysis, SG-1 decides
on the most likely planet to be "Kheb" -- of Jaffa
and Goa'uld legend. Bra'tac and SG-1 travel to the planet
in search of the Harsesis child. Realizing that Apophis

appears to be identical to one his grandfather, Nicholas Ballard,
found in Belize in 1971. He goes on to tell that his grandfather
claimed that the skull possessed a power to teleport you to
a place inhabited by Aliens. When the academic community shunned
Nicholas because of his seemingly ridiculous claims, he never
recovered.

Directed by : Martin Wood
Episode Number : 322
Synopsis : While preparing for a week
of leave, O'Neill is engulfed in a white glow and disappears.
Carter immediately recognizes that O'Neill has been transported
away by the Asgard.
O'Neill suddenly finds himself a
little disoriented on Thor's ship. He begins to hear a strange
sound and moments later is faced with hundreds of menacing
looking metallic bugs. He freezes as they swarm past him.
O'Neill heads in the direction the bugs came from and comes
upon a very weak Thor. Thor tells O'Neill that he is dying
and directs him to a control panel for further information
as he is too weak. O'Neill learns that these bugs called
replicators are artificial organisms that have overtaken
the ship and have directed it to Earth. The effects of the
replicators reaching Earth would be devastating.
O'Neill appears back in the briefing
room of the SGC in the form of a hologram and informs General
Hammond and the rest of his team of the situation. He orders
them to gather a large amount of explosives that he will
transport up. The team, of course, wants to be transported
up as well, but O'Neill orders them not to.
O'Neill can't believe his eyes when
the explosives arrive with SG-1 in tow. They have little
time to formulate a plan to outwit the replicators and destroy
the ship before it reaches Earth, hopefully finding a way
to save themselves in the process.
