Carter (Amanda Tapping) estimates that the Stargate can only withstand the attack for another 54 hours. Teal'c (Christopher Judge) and his son, Ryac, decide to seek out and destroy the weapon that has transformed the gate into a time bomb. Meanwhile, Jonas (Corin Nemec) saves the day by devising a plan to explode the Stargate seconds after O’Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) passes through the hyperspace window. SG-1 acquires a new Stargate from the Russians, trading plans for the ill-fated X-302. As a reward for helping save the planet, Jonas becomes a full-fledged member of SG-1.

Carter (Amanda Tapping) and an SG team board an apparently abandoned Gou'ald mothership and are ambushed. With its drive controls disabled by Anubis' evil plot, the ship plummets through the atmosphere and crashes into the Pacific Ocean. When Carter removes a matrix of crystals from the computer core, the self-destruct mechanism activates, giving the team 17 minutes to escape. With the launch systems jammed, Jonas (Corin Nemec) saves the day and the crewmembers are jettisoned to safety just as the mothership explodes.

When woman is found frozen in the ice near an Antarctic research station, the SG-1 team is sent to investigate. The three scientists who found the woman - Michaels, Osbourne and Dr. Woods - believe she is thousands of years old. Tissue tests show that, unlike normal human cells, which suffer irreparable damage when frozen, the woman's cells are perfectly intact. Aiyana, as Michaels has named her, is defrosted and slowly comes to life. EEG's indicate that Aiyana may be an example of advanced human evolution, with cells that have evolved to withstand sub-zero temperatures. Carter theorizes that her races may have evolved long modern day humans. Michael's contracts an incurable virus from Aiyana, who seems immune to its effects. Osbourne falls ill. Then Dr. Woods gets lost in an Antarctic blizzard, forcing Teal'c and O'Neill set out on a rescue mission. Teal'c and O'Neill find the doctor nearly frozen and haul him back to the base dome for treatment. As they desperately try to save his life, Aiyana steps forward and heals Woods with her bare hands. After curing Osbourne, Michaels and Carter, Aiyana collapses in exhaustion. With her immune system weakened by the stress of all that healing, Aiyana succumbs to the virus as well. O'Neill begins to show symptoms, but Aiyana dies before she can help him. Back at SGC, a Tok'ra named Thoran informs the team that O'Neill will die unless he accepts a symbiote. O'Neill is reluctant, but Carter assures him that the symbiote will only stay until he is cured and the Tok'ra can find a new host. When Carter mentions that the symbiote has important information acquired during a recent mission, before the untimely death of its host, O'Neill agrees to have the procedure.

SG-1 receives a delegation from Kelowna, a country on Jonas' home planet. The leader of the delegation tells SG-1 that peace on his planet is being threatened by a non-aggression pact between two rival powers. The Kelownans offer to trade naquadria for some of Earth's superior military technology. Without it, the Kelownans say they will be forced to unleash the awesome destructive power of their newly developed naquadria bomb. Dr. Kieran, a Kelownan scientist who worked on the bomb, tells Jonas he's part of a resistance movement bent on saving the planet from destruction. Jonas tells Hammond a coup is afoot and the Pentagon sends SG-1 to negotiate with the Kelownan government. It's an emotional homecoming for Jonas, who is still seen as a traitor by some of his countrymen. While Dr. Kieran arranges a meeting between SG-1 and the leaders of the resistance, Kelownan First Minister Valis tells Jonas that Kieran has been acting strangely and asks him to spy on the doctor. On the way back to resistance headquarters, Kelownan guards open fire on Jonas and Kieran chasing them into a warehouse. Jonas drives them off with cover fire, but Kieran falls off a catwalk and is knocked unconscious. The Kelownans deny attacking Kieran as a rebel spy. Carter uses a special device to track Kieran's smuggled naquadria to resistance headquarters. They find naquadria, but the building is otherwise deserted. Brain scans reveal that Kieran is suffering from advanced schizophrenia caused by prolonged exposure to naquadria. The team realizes that the resistance was a fantasy that existed only created in Kieran's deteriorating mind. The Kelownan bomb project turns out to be flawed technology and SG-1 returns home with a large quantity of naquadria, leaving Jonas' troubled homeland to fight its battles alone.

Professors Coombs, Meyers and Felger are examining the ruins of a gou'ald temple on an unfriendly planet. O'Neill and Teal'c, who are standing guard, leave to join Carter and Jonas, who are a short distance testing equipment near the stargate. Gou'ald attack vessels suddenly swoop down and capture the team, but instead of following O'Neill's orders and heading back to stargate command, Felger decides to go after them. Meyers heads back to SGC and tells Hammond that Felger and Coombs have used the rings at the ruins to go up to the orbiting gou'ald mothership where SG-1 is being held captive. Felger and Coombs crawl through some ducts and find SG-1's holding cell. O'Neill is furious with them for disobeying orders. Carter reveals that their capture was faked to facilitate a meeting with Khonsu, a high-ranking gou'ald who is actually an undercover Tok'ra. Felger and Coombs take cover behind some piled-up containers, but realize something is amiss when two jaffa are gunned down nearby. Her'ak, who is supposed to deliver SG-1, instead pens them inside a force field and sets off to kill Khonsu. Felger and Coombs travel to Khonsu's planet, sneak inside the pyramid and witness the killing. The two wayward scientists access the pyramid control room and contact the team on a gou'ald PA system. With Carter's help, they unlock a stash of weapons. Felger delivers the guns, while Coombs works on shutting off the force field. SG-1 and Felger escape and attack the jaffa who are guarding the stargate, but Coombs gets trapped inside the control room, forcing Teal'c and O'Neill to ring back inside and rescue him. Back at SGC, Felger and Coombs receive special medals of honour for their bravery.

The Tok’ra and rebel Jaffa fighting alongside them suffer heavy casualties when Anubis' forces overrun SG positions in the Risa system. During the funerals that follow, a scuffle breaks out between Ocker, a Tok’ra and Artok, a Jaffa. Meanwhile Carter discovers that someone has tampered with the Naquadah reactor. Realizing that a saboteur is on board, O’Neill shuts down the gate. When Ocker is found dead, Artok becomes the prime suspect and tensions between the two uneasy allies threaten to boil over. But an autopsy showing that Ocker and his symbiote had their spines severed from behind, not in a face-to-face encounter like those favoured by Jaffa, points to Artok’s innocence. Before he can be freed, Artok is found dead in his cell. There is no sign of resistance and no explanation of how the killer entered and exited Artok’s cell. A riot is averted when Bratac finds the killers tracks and the group splits into search parties. One search party turns up dead. Then enemy attacks and kills Bratac. Teal’c and the other rebel Jaffa are furious with Malek for failing to help their leader, but he swears that Bratac was attacked by some invisible force. They realize that the killer is Nirrti, a highly trained gou’ald assassin equipped with a cloaking device. Carter alters the Naquadah reactor to produce an electromagnetic field that reveals their invisible foe. Nirrti quickly shuts off the reactor and begins killing everyone in the room. At the last second, a badly wounded Bratac reappears and kills Nirrti with a series of deadly staff blasts. Bratac and Malek make amends, bringing the Tok’ra and the rebel Jaffa closer together in their fight against the evil gou’ald empire.

SG-1 pays a visit to Panger, where a working Stargate has recently been discovered among some ruins. The Pangerans, who are a few decades behind Earth technologically, have developed a miracle drug called tretonin that makes the immune system “impervious to all disease.” The Pangeran leaders, Tegar and Dollen, offer to share the secret of tretonin. In exchange they ask SG-1 to teach them how to use the gate for interplanetary travel. However, the planets they ask to visit are all gou’ald homeworlds, which are strictly off limits. When scientist Zenna Valk hints at some kind of problem with the tretonin, Teal’c and Jonas visit the facility where the drug is made and discover gou’ald symbiotes living in tanks of murky water. Dollen admits that the symbiotes, which are critical in making tretonin, have been bred in captivity by a gou’ald queen. For the drug to work, he says, the dosage has to be steadily increased. If patients stop taking it, their immune systems shut down completely. With the gou’ald Queen dying and demand for the drug growing, they Pangerans decided to procure another queen. Jonas translates the inscriptions in an underground chamber and discovers that the so-called gou’ald queen is actually the long-lost queen Egeria, the origin of the Tok'ra. A Tok’ra woman named Kelmaa breaks into the Egeria’s chamber and sacrifices herself to give the dying queen her host. Egeria wakes up and reveals that she purposely passed on the imperfection in the tretonin as a defense mechanism. Realizing that the Pangerans mistreated her out of ignorance, not malice, Egeria reveals how to make the antidote and thousands of lives are saved.

When TV reporter Julia Donovan gets wind of a top secret project called Prometheus, the president orders General Hammond to kill the story. An incensed Donovan threatens to alert the foreign media, forcing Hammond to offer her a tour of the project in return for an exclusive at a later date. Prometheus turns out to be a spaceship combining human know-how with alien technology recovered from a spacecraft that crashed in Alaska in 1978. While Jonas and Carter give Donovan and her producer a tour of the bridge, the TV crew - Smith, Reynolds Jones and Sanderson - overpowers the guards and activate the ship’s lockdown controls. Carter goes to investigate and runs into the hijackers, who manage to lock her in a utility closet. The hijackers demand the release of two prisoners, Colonel Frank Simmons and the notorious gou’ald scientist Adrian Conrad. Carter contacts O’Neill by radio and tells him the hijackers are trying to steal the X-303, but it’s too late. They escape as soon as Conrad and Simmons are board. O’Neill and Teal’c give chase in a pair of much smaller X-302s, which are able to dock undetected by the X-303’s partially finished security system. As the vessel heads into hyperspace, Conrad tries to kill Simmons. The two struggle and Conrad ends up dead. O’Neill and Teal’c find Simmons, who turns out to be gou’ald just like Conrad, and a vicious battle ensues. Just as Teal’c is about to die O’Neill activates the airlock and Simmons gets sucked out the door. As the X-303 drifts helplessly through hyperspace, the Asgard leader Thor appears and appeals for help battling an infestation of replicators that has over-run his homeworld. This sets the stage for next week’s conclusion, “Unnatural Selection.”

After rescuing SG-1 from hyperspace, the Asgard leader Thor asks SG-1 help fight the replicators that have overrun his homeworld. The replicators, box-like robots that have the ability to think and evolve, consume everything in their path with an instinctive thirst for the knowledge and experience of those they devour. Thor explains that the Asgard lured millions of the creatures to the planet in an attempt to slow their evolution with a time dilator. Instead the replicators used the device to speed up time, allowing them to evolve at an astonishing rate. SG-1 finds the planet paved in a layer of metal replicator bricks miles thick. Five humans confront the team and order Carter to stop tinkering with time dilator. When she refuses, the humans reveal that they are actually replicators that have “merged” with human forms. The replicator-humans, named First, Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth, disarm SG-1 and probe their memory banks, allowing them to see what the team is thinking at all times. Fifth, who seems sympathetic to SG-1, taps into Carter’s mind where their communication can’t be intercepted and agrees to help the team escape in return for safe passage from the planet. Faced with the risk of unleashing an army of replicator-humans on an unsuspecting galaxy, the team has no choice but to trick Fifth into missing the ship. Carter reconfigures the time dilator and starts it up just as the replicators realize what’s happening. Fifth is captured, but the device quickly slows time to a standstill and allows SG-1 to escape. A replicator ship veers toward O’Neill and crew but it is consumed by the force field expanding outward from the time dilator as SG-1 heads for home.

SG-1 returns from an archeological site on another planet carrying an ancient artifact that glows and emits strange energy waves. When Jonas catches a glimpse of an eel-like alien life form disappearing through a concrete wall of the gateroom, Hammond orders a security lockdown of the base. However, the alert is lifted when no trace of the creature can be detected. Unfazed, O’Neill heads off on a fishing trip while Jonas and Carter stay behind to examine the artifact. As they work, Jonas sees an alien slither across his arm, but Carter doesn’t see the alien and Jonas starts to wonder if he’s losing his mind. Meanwhile, O’Neill is chatting with a rural gas station owner named Vernon Sharpe when an eel-like alien flies past his head. Sharpe, however, sees nothing unusual. Back at SGC, Carter determines that the creatures exist in a parallel dimension and can only be seen by people who have been exposed to the artifact’s energy. When Carter realizes that the device gives off an electrical charge that can be passed from person to person, O’Neill has to retrace his steps and warn everyone he has contacted. A paranoid and Gulf War veteran, Sharpe starts seeing creatures before O’Neill can get to him. Afraid the government is after him, Sharpe goes AWOL, undermining SG-1’s efforts to contain the disease. Carter and Jonas, meanwhile, create a cure by reversing the device’s energy field. SG-1 deduces that Sharpe headed for a friend’s place in Las Vegas. O’Neill chases him through the airport and into a hangar and talks the psychologically damaged veteran into keeping the whole episode a secret.

When Sen. Kinsey is assassinated in broad daylight in front of a dozen civilian witnesses, Col. Jack O'Neill is the prime suspect, having been seen and videotaped leaving the scene with a rifle in hand. And O'Neill's distaste for Kinsey, who had tried more than once to take down Stargate Command in order to control it, is well-known.
O'Neill's alibi, that he was alone on vacation fishing, is compromised when the murder weapon is found dumped in the lake near O'Neill's vacation cabin. Confronted with such damning evidence, Gen. Hammond has no choice but to place O'Neill under arrest and then remand him to the civilian authorities in Washington.
Because the president, for political reasons, is unable to intervene on O'Neill's behalf, Gen. Hammond suspends SG-1's offworld duties and assigns Maj. Samantha Carter, Teal'c and Jonas Quinn to investigate the mystery and clear O'Neill.
Maj. Carter surmises there was only one way someone could have impersonated the colonel so precisely: Three years ago, aliens tried to take over Stargate Command using mimic devices that could camouflage them to look like SGC personnel. After the situation was defused, SGC recovered 12 of the mimic devices, each programmed to impersonate a specific person. One of them had been made to mimic Col. O'Neill.

Col. Jack O'Neill is at home, grilling hot dogs in his backyard, when his former friend Col. Harry Maybourne — the traitorous National Intelligence Division (NID) agent now wanted for high treason — shows up. O'Neill threatens to turn him in.
"Have me arrested," Harry says. "That's why I'm here."
Harry explains that with the current presidential administration coming to a close, the president might consider giving him a pardon, as presidents sometimes do when they don't face re-election. Harry's bargaining chip: the stargate address to the planet with the cache of ancient alien weaponry, which the late Col. Frank Simmons had hijacked the X-303 to reach. Harry adds that while Simmons and the NID knew that the planet has a stargate, it was easier to grab the X-303 than to infiltrate Stargate Command just to use the stargate.
Harry says he will give the address to Stargate Command in exchange for arranging a pardon — and on the condition that he can go with SG-1 to the weapons planet. Harry also explains that without the stone key to an impenetrable doorway protecting the weapons-storage facility, the address is useless — and he has that key.
Gen. Hammond authorizes SG-1 to check out the address and Harry's story. According to Maj. Carter, the doorway looks like a transporter. But it indeed won't work without the key, so O'Neill has Harry turn in himself and the key. Just as O'Neill is about to leave without him, Harry lets the other shoe drop: The key is useless without a combination that only he has.

The episode starts with Jonas and Carter talking, when suddenly the Russian SG team returns. They bring back a sickly man named Alebran, who informs them that Nirrti is experimenting with his people. After being brought to the infirmary, he reveals what Nirrti is doing to his people and that she has killed many of his people. SG-1 then plans to help because Nirrti has only a small group of Jaffa to defend her. Alebran suddenly starts to panic, sweat, and have convulsions. Finally, his body breaks down and liquefies, much to everyone’s shock.
SG-1 and the Russian SG team return to the planet and Col. Evanov brings SG-1 to Nirrti's fortress, protected by Jaffa. To defeat them, Carter and Jonas use diversions and the Jaffa are quickly defeated. They sneak into the fortress, where they meet grotesquely deformed people. One of them, Wodan, tells them that Nirrti is helping them because they are "sick." He also shows them Nirrti's machine, an ancient DNA Resequencer. SG-1 tells them what Nirrti is really doing about Alebran, who was Wodan's brother. They plan to help the people but another mutant, Eggar, who is able to read minds, knew that they plan to assassinate Nirrti.
While Col. O'Neill contacts Evanov, Jonas and Teal'c are taken to basement, where Wodan and his people are living. There they are stripped of their weapons and imprisoned, and it is revealed that Wodan has telekinetic powers. Whilst Carter inspects Nirrti's machine, two Jaffa use a Ring Transporter to transport in to the palace, but Carter stuns them both with her Zat. However, Carter herself is stunned by a cloaked Nirrti. O'Neill enters, and sees Nirrti holding Carter as a hostage. A Jaffa awakens and O'Neill quickly attempts to shoot him but not before Wodan uses his telekinetic powers to stop the bullet. O'Neill surrenders and removes his P-90, and is stunned by Nirrti by a Zat. Together with Carter, he is imprisoned in the basement, where he attempts to bargain with the Wodan's people for SG-1's freedom, but to no avail.

With Anubis, the most powerful of the Goa'uld system lords, increasing his ability to acquire and use advanced weaponry against Earth, Gen. Hammond decides to break the secrecy of the Stargate program in the interest of forming a global coalition to fight the alien threat.
He calls a Pentagon meeting with the ambassadors from China, France and Great Britain, with Col. Chekov of the Russian Stargate program there to back him up. Unfortunately, Sen. Kinsey also insists on being present.
Convincing the ambassadors of the existence of the stargate and of the Goa'uld seems nearly impossible, until Kinsey steps in to assure them it is all true. However, he also immediately denounces the Defense Department's control of Stargate Command and questions Hammond and Col. Jack O'Neill's competence in handling both it and the advanced technology Stargate Command has acquired — not to mention accusing SG-1 of nearly causing Earth's destruction on more than one occasion.
Hammond counters each accusation by showing how, in every case, SG-1 averted disaster that would have occurred had not Col. O'Neill and his team risked their lives for the good of humanity.
But the more the committee hears about the stargate — as well as about the X-302 spacecraft and about Prometheus (a.k.a. the X-303), the U.S. Air Force's answer to a Goa'uld mothership — the more incensed they become. Kinsey suggests that control of the stargate be transferred to a non-military organization: the U.S. government's covert National Intelligence Division (NID).
Hammond is amazed, because the NID had just tried to have him assassinated. Kinsey quickly pins the blame on NID rogue operatives now in custody. Hammond finds it incomprehensible that what he considers a borderline criminal organization, one which has stolen alien technology and threatened the lives of his granddaughters, should be in control of the stargate.

While on a recon mission to planet P2X-005, where no humans are supposed to have visited, Col. Jack O'Neill finds a photograph of a young human woman. Jonas Quinn then discovers a strange vessel that he determines crashed here some time ago. It is no type of alien vessel that SG-1 has encountered before, and Jonas notices markings that resemble ancient Celtic.
Then its three heavily armed human survivors sneak up behind SG-1. Teal'c raises his staff weapon and a standoff ensues. After O'Neill explains that SG-1's intentions are peaceful, one of the strangers, Aden Corso, introduces himself as the captain of the crashed vessel, the Seberus. His shipmates are a smug hotshot named Liam Pender and a female crew-member named Tanis Reynard. They claim an asteroid storm threw them off-course while en route to their home planet of Hebridan. They are out of fuel, their batteries are dead and their communications systems are down.
Maj. Samantha Carter suggests that SG-1 might be able to fix their ship by finding an Earth equivalent to their fuel; they also might be able to recharge the Hebridans' batteries using a Naquadah generator. O'Neill approves this plan, because it will afford Carter a look at their technology, which is far more advanced than Earth's. Teal'c, remembering Jonas' earlier observation, notes that the Celts were formidable warriors in their time and that their descendents might make valuable allies.
Just then, Reynard yells, "Move!" and fires on a group of reptilian aliens, who fire back with weapons exactly like the Hebridans'. O'Neill wounds one with his P-90 — and then Pender unexpectedly finishes off the alien. Corso then activates an intense sonic defense-field that makes the aliens scatter.

In a busy hospital Teal'c is wheeled into surgery. As the surgeon in charge looks at him, the doctor's eyes glow white: It is the Goa'uld system lord Apophis.
Teal'c awakens, startled, in his bunk at the firehouse, where fellow firefighter Jonas Quinn seems concerned. Teal'c does not have his head markings, and is speaking to Jonas in Earth slang, calling him "man" and "probie" — the nickname for new recruits on probationary status. Teal'c says he's fine and to go back to sleep. Then Teal'c notices his symbiote pouch is missing....
Teal'c awakens from his hibernation-like state of Kelnoreem to find himself back in his quarters at Stargate Command.
Later, in the Stargate Command mess hall, Maj. Carter suggests that perhaps Teal'c is concerned about the upcoming mission. Teal'c suddenly finds himself back at the firehouse with Capt. Carter suggesting that perhaps he was worrying about his upcoming surgery, in which he would be donating a kidney to his stepfather, Brae. Fire Chief O'Neill suggests Teal'c give the matter more thought, but there is no better donor-match and Teal'c cannot let Brae die.
The alarm sounds, and the firefighters are called to a highway accident. One of the men being carried out on a stretcher looks up at Teal'c — his eyes glow white. Again, it is Apophis. Chief O'Neill orders everyone away from the site, because one of the cars is about to explode. But Teal'c sees Brae — whom he now knows is his father-figure, Bra'tac, in his other reality — trapped in the car, which explodes, throwing Teal'c backward but not injuring him.
Teal'c regains consciousness and finds himself collapsed on the floor of the Stargate Command cafeteria. He's rushed to the infirmary. Dr. Fraiser is quite concerned: No Jaffa has ever fainted before.
In Teal'c's other reality, at the hospital after the explosion, Brae/Bra'tac points out how strange it is that Teal'c was not burned or even scratched. Teal'c's wife Shauna (who was Shan'auc in his other reality) is deeply concerned as well, and asks Chief O'Neill to get Teal'c some help.

Col. Jack O'Neill is miffed about being taken off SG missions to baby-sit the commander and crew of the Prometheus on her shakedown cruise. But both Gen. Hammond and Gen. Greer feel that SG-1 has valuable experience with both hyperspace travel and this interstellar spacecraft, having already saved it from the Goa'uld and used it to help the Asgard. As it happens, flight commander Col. William Renson isn't too keen on SG-1's being there, either.
The ship comes out of hyperspace nine minutes ahead of schedule, the result of a hyperdrive problem. Maj. Samantha Carter explains that when the Naquadria energy levels rise too high, there is a buffer, like a surge protector, that is supposed to prevent instability. However, the buffer is broken. Jonas Quinn checks the ship's sensor log and discovers that the Prometheus had passed through the intense gravity wave of an exploding star while in hyperspace.
Jonas notes that, according to the cartouche that lists all the planets with stargates, the Prometheus was fairly close to P3X-744. Col. Renson authorizes using the hyperdrive for a quick burst, theoretically too short for much chance of instability. Carter would use the planet's stargate to travel home, get the supplies she needs, and come back to repair the ship's buffer so that the Prometheus can return to Earth.
When they get to P3X-744, the Naquadria reactor goes critical and has to be jettisoned. The resulting electromagnetic pulse further damages the Prometheus and is perceived by the people on the planet below as an attack. They launch missiles in retaliation. Renson orders the missiles shot down, but the ship's weapons control center is offline. O'Neill, on comlink, explains to their attackers that the EMP was an accident and asks them to please not destroy the ship. It works: The missiles self-destruct and the Prometheus is instructed to land by Commander Kalfas of the Tangean security force.
Renson and SG-1 meet with Tangean Chairperson Ashwan, who is happy to meet visitors from another world and offers to help SG-1 find the stargate, which they call the "Ring of the Gods." To them it is just a myth, but they let Jonas, Teal'c and Carter go through the Tangean history books to research its whereabouts.

SG-1 is on planet P4S-237, talking to the people there who have been oppressed by the Goa'uld system lord Ba'al, whose emissary, system lord Mot, regularly visits the planet to collect a tribute in the form of Naquadah.
The people's elder, Ellori, says a prophecy foretells strangers coming through the stargate and freeing them from Ba'al's tyranny. It made sense that SG-1 are those strangers. Just then, Jonas Quinn sees and hears Ellori's young advisor, Chazen, say, "Stop talking like a fool. It would be madness to defy Lord Mot." No one else hears it until a few moments later — when Chazen actually says it.
Jonas falls unconscious and is rushed to Stargate Command's infirmary, where Dr. Janet Fraiser finds nothing physically wrong with him — though his MRI does show an area of unusual brain activity. She recalls how Jonas' fellow scientists on his offworld homeland of Kelowna suffered from headaches and later schizophrenia from excessive exposure to the Naquadah derivative Naquadria.
Jonas experiences another premonition, during a briefing in which SG-1 determines that Ba'al hasn't been to P4S-237 for generations because he thought the Naquadah mines had dried up. Mot has been hoarding the Naquadah for himself so that he can move against Ba'al. Then Jonas sees and hears Maj. Carter ask him if he wants Mexican food for lunch — which she doesn't actually do until she comes into his office after the briefing.
Jonas now realizes that he is seeing and hearing the future. The rest doubt him — until he tells SG-1 that a Tok'ra named Sina is about to arrive through the stargate, and, moments later, she does so. Sina tells SG-1 that Lord Ba'al is in trouble with Anubis for allowing the defiant system lord Yu to escape. With Ba'al in Anubis' bad graces, Mot is now in a prime position to replace Ba'al and claim P4S-237 for himself.

Col. Jack O'Neill is riding the elevator at Stargate Command when Dr. Daniel Jackson, who had, nearly a year earlier, ascended to a higher plane of existence, suddenly appears and asks for help.
Jackson informs O'Neill that the Goa'uld system lord Anubis is about to obtain the Eye of Ra. Because Anubis possesses the other five Eyes, the legends say that when he acquires this one he'll be all-powerful.
O'Neill wonders why Daniel, as an ascended being, can't do anything to prevent this, but Daniel responds with the noninterference rhetoric he's explained to O'Neill before. He adds that Oma, the higher being who helped him ascend, is already on thin ice for helping others to do so. So if Daniel did try to interfere with events, Oma would have to stop him.
O'Neill tells Gen. Hammond and the SG-1 team that Anubis plans to wipe out the planet Abydos to find the Eye of Ra, which probably is hidden in a secret chamber in Ra's old pyramid fortress. When Gen. Hammond asks O'Neill how he came by this intel, O'Neill risks sounding crazy and tells them about seeing Daniel. Teal'c then confesses that he has seen Daniel, too.
Hammond sends SG-1 to Abydos, where Skaara and his warriors are waiting and ready. Apparently, Daniel visited Skaara, as well, and assured him that he and his people would be protected.
SG-1 searches Ra's pyramid but cannot find the Eye. Meanwhile, Anubis' troops arrive and attack the Abydonian warriors led by Teal'c. O'Neill, fed up with Daniel's noninterference rule, demands that Daniel appear.
Daniel does so, and after some very brief salutations and an introduction to his successor, Jonas Quinn, they and Maj. Carter leave to find the secret chamber where the Eye might be.
