When Rodney McKay (David Hewlett) realizes Atlantis has started shutting down artificial gravity and collapsing protective shields to compensate for a damaged power system, he turns off all non-essential systems. But when the problem persists, McKay is forced to collapse the shield to the point where it is only protecting Atlantis’ main tower, leaving the rest of the city exposed to space.
With the protective shields down and an asteroid belt fast approaching, Lt. Col. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) leads a group of Atlantis personnel on a desperate jumper mission to clear a path for the city. Meanwhile Dr. Keller’s (Jewel Staite) attempts to resuscitate a comatose Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson) reveal that her patient has severe brain swelling and will require radical surgery.
McKay runs the calculations and realizes there’s an even bigger problem: in just 28 hours, the city’s shields will fail completely and all of Atlantis’ inhabitants will succumb to the vacuum of space.

Lt. Col. Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) leads his team on a daring raid on the Replicator home world in a bid to secure a ZPM that will save Atlantis. The key to their operation is none other than Dr. Elizabeth Weir (Torri Higginson).
Directed by Weir and McKay (David Hewlett) from the jumper, Sheppard and Ronon (Jason Momoa) head deep into the Replicator city to acquire the sought after prize. But a surprising revelation concerning a long-dormant Replicator sub-routine changes the plan, forcing Sheppard and company to forego their quick escape.
When the Replicators become aware of the incursion, Sheppard’s team must keep them at bay or else abandon the mission and their hope of saving Atlantis. Meanwhile Colonel Carter (Amanda Tapping), aboard the Apollo, searches in vain for the missing city.

Meanwhile, Col. Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) arrives on Atlantis as the new leader, and her first task is to execute new security protocols that leave Ronon feeling alienated and considering leaving Atlantis for good.
Once inside the Wraith weapons facility, the two teams split up, and Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and his team come under fire from the Wraith. Ronon escapes but Sheppard and company are captured. The Wraith force McKay (David Hewlett) to make changes to the Replicator base code using an actual Replicator the Wraith have imprisoned in the facility.
Ronon and Carter mount a rescue operation, and, in the end, Ronon learns the truth about his old friends’ new loyalties.

As soon as Sheppard steps aboard, he discovers that the Lantean ship, abandoned after an attack by the Wraith, is now emitting deadly radiation.

The team discovers that a cure might be available among the plants on the mainland, so Ronon and Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), whose memory is also fading, set off to obtain it. Meanwhile, McKay (David Hewlett) works on a widespread distribution method but is unable to complete it before he too succumbs to the virus.
When McKay wakes up, he is strapped to his desk in front of his console, with no idea who he is or what is going on. Following instructions from a video he recorded earlier, McKay frees himself and sets out to find Teyla (Rachel Luttrell), the key to unlocking this mystery.

Keller and Teyla find a bound and wounded man named Nabel (Johann Hels), who claims that Teyla’s people were culled by the Wraith. Ultimately, the three are captured, and the Bola Kai’s tribe leader Omal (Danny Trejo) threatens to kill them unless they betray the location of Atlantis.

Meanwhile, the Wraith bring a startling proposal to Lt. Col.
