Hammond is busy doing all the paperwork involved with closing the facility down when Jack comes to see him. Hammond tells Jack that it is over and he has done everything he can to keep the project going but to no avail. Jack goes to the others and tells them Hammond has given up, Daniel says that they should dial the co-ordinates he has before the gate is buried. Jack decides that they will go to the co-ordinates and stuff the consequences, they all decide to go. They seal themselves in the gate room and send a MALP to the co-ordinates, they see a Goa'uld like area on the other side and decide to depart through the gate.
Arriving on the other side Daniel sends the MALP back to the SGC. Jack meanwhile finds some crates and they look inside, they find some Goa'uld weapons called Zatnickatels. As they hand the weapons around they hear a noise and are thrown back by some kind of force, Teal'c says they should dial home but the gate will not do anything.
Jack looks in the crates.
The doors open and SG-1 hide, some Jaffa enter the room and activate a device, a sphere moves out of a crate and positions itself in the middle of the stargate, they then leave. Teal'c tells them the sphere is a Goa'uld long range com unit. Teal'c opens the door to the room and they leave it.
SG-1 leave the cargo bay.
At the SGC chevron guy and Ferretti tell Hammond it was SG-1 who left and that they went to the co-ordinates Daniel had. Ferretti says SG-1 can follow but Hammond won't authorise it at that time. They try to dial up the co-ordinates but the gate will not connect to anything.
SG-1 meanwhile find they are on a Goa'uld transport ship, the jolt they felt was hyperlauch and they are now travelling faster than light.
The Goa'uld ship is going FTL.
SG-1 are interrupted by a Jaffa but they zat him and Teal'c uses the weapon to disintegrate his body. SG-1 leave the room they were in as it contained a sarcophagus, they enter another room to hide from some Jaffa and see Death Gliders prepping for launch. They hear an announcement, the Jaffa are being summoned to a meeting, they follow some priests who have the sarcophagus and end up back in the cargo bay.
In the cargo bay the com device activates and Apophis speaks to them, he says that when they come out of the shallows he shall rejoin them but until that time they shall obey his son Klorel, Skaara rises out of the sarcophagus.
Apophis speaks to the troops and introduces Klorel.
Jack comes up with a plan, he and Teal'c will try to rescue Skaara while Daniel and Sam place C4 on the ship. Jack and Teal'c complete their mission and barricade themselves in the room with Klorel, Jack tries to speak to Skaara but Klorel won't let go of the host, meanwhile Jaffa try and break into the room. Jack zats him and Klorel looses control, he speaks to Skaara who asks Jack to forgive him for what they are about to do, Klorel then regains control. The Jaffa succeed in breaking into the room and capture Jack and Teal'c.
Klorel won't let Skaara out.
Sam and Daniel are busy planting C4 on the gate when Jack and Teal'c are brought into the room. Klorel contacts Apophis who orders them both killed, Teal'c will have his symbiote removed while Klorel can choose how Jack dies. Jack pleads to Skaara to stop Teal'c being killed and it seems to work, Klorel orders both of them taken to the pel'tak. Sam sets the C4 to 24 hour auto countdown and they go off to rescue Jack and Teal'c.
Arriving on the pel'tak Klorel asks Jack if he wants to see his home again. The ship drops out of hyperspeed and Jack sees they are in Earth's solar system.
At the SGC Hammond is told that two objects have been picked up passing Saturn.
Sam and Daniel meanwhile attack the pel'tak and kill the guards but Klorel grabs Daniel and starts to use the ribbon device on him.
Klorel tries to kill Daniel.
Jack picks up one of Daniel's pistols and points it at Klorel, he tells him to stop but he doesn't so Jack shoots him. They all look out of the window and see the ship approaching Earth, the also see a second Goa'uld ship nearby ....
