At the SGC the gate dials up, there is an unscheduled traveller on the way with an SG-1 iris code. Brat'ac arrives with bad news, Teal'c's son, Rya'c has been taken by Apophis.
Brat'ac arrives at the SGC.
Brat'ac tells them that Apophis and Klorel have survived, they escaped by using the stargate on the ship like Daniel did. Apophis returned to Chulak very weak as most of his loyal guards were dead, he now wants to quickly re-establish his power by getting Teal'c, via his family. Hammond gives them the go for the mission to rescue Rya'c.
First sending some gas threw the gate to knock out the guards at the gate site, SG-1 arrive on Chulak. They head to where Teal'c's wife, Dray'ac is staying, a nice residence owned by one of Teal'c's old friends Frot'ac.
Teal'c meets his wife again.
Frot'ac tells Teal'c that Dray'ac is now his wife, Teal'c is furious. Dray'ac & Frot'ac leave, Teal'c and the others decide they can't completely trust Frot'ac and must keep an eye on him, Daniel and Brat'ac also manage to convince Teal'c not to kill Frot'ac is vengeance. Dray'ac returns and Teal'c tells her that once they have recovered his son he never wants to see her again and then storms out. Outside Dray'ac goes to see Teal'c, she tells him that she did all this for their son and it was him who walked out on them.
During the night they put their plan into operation. Brat'ac leads some guards down the corridor into an ambush by SG-1. They rescue Rya'c but he starts shouting and screaming for the guards that the traitor is here. SG-1 and the others have to escape without Rya'c.
SG-1 attack.
Arriving back at the house they have to tell Dray'ac the bad news, Rya'c has been brainwashed by Apophis. As they talk the communications orb in the house activates, it is Apophis addressing the people of Chulak. As he talks he introduces Rya'c who tells everyone that his father is evil and must be caught and that they have his mother hostage. In the message Rya'c gets his mothers birthplace wrong, Teal'c takes it as a message that he is fighting the brainwashing.
Apophis addresses the people.
Just at that moment there is a knock at the door, as the others hide Frot'ac answers it, it is the palace guard with orders to search the house. Frot'ac is angry and delays them enough for the others to finish hiding, the guard don't find them and leave.
During the night Dray'ac comes to Teal'c, she tells him that she still loves him and they kiss. Frot'ac sees them and leaves the house, but Jack sees him and follows. Frot'ac arrives at the palace and starts to tell the guard about Teal'c, Jack zats the guard and then has to kill Frot'ac when he refuses to come quietly.
Frot'ac tries to betray Teal'c and the others.
Back at the house the others are worried for Jack. Suddenly there is a knock at the door, Brat'ac answers it, a Jaffa is outside, he storms in, it is Jack, he tells them about Frot'ac. Following up on Rya'c's clue, SG-1 set an ambush in the woods and free Rya'c, he seems fine, but Sam and Jack think the rescue was far to easy. While SG-1 head back to the gate, Brat'ac goes to get Dray'ac. When they get to the gate they find 2 guards there, Jack is still very uneasy, this is going to be far, far to easy. Brat'ac tells him that Apophis has so few guards left he probably can't spare anymore. Deciding to go with it, SG-1 clear away the two guards and they all escape to Earth.
At the SGC, Dr Frasier does a quick exam of Rya'c but finds nothing. Rya'c is very interested in seeing outside and is really pushing the point when Dray'ac sees something wrong. Taking Teal'c aside she tells him that Rya'c lost two teeth, he now has them back. Getting Dr Frasier over they try to see the teeth but Rya'c goes mad, they manage to put him asleep.
Rya'c is placed in a cell, when he wakes he goes mad at his mother. In the briefing room Frasier and Sam tell the others that in the two teeth was a deadly chemical substance which when mixed by Rya'c biting his teeth together would have wiped out life on Earth.
Teal'c goes to see his son, but Rya'c goes mad at him calling him a traitor and spitting in his face.
Rya'c goes mad at Teal'c.
Teal'c leaves and asks if there is a way to cure his son. Deciding that ECT should do it Teal'c says that a zat discharge is basically the same thing. Going back into the cell one last time, Teal'c and Dray'ac try to speak to Rya'c but get nowhere, Teal'c zats him. When he awakes Rya'c is cured.
Taking their leave, Dray'ac and Rya'c go to live in the Land Of Light. (see The Broca Divide)
Dray'ac and Rya'c head off to the Land Of Light.
