At the SGC the gate dials up with an unauthorized incoming wormhole. The iris is closed but overridden and opened, a hooded figure comes through, it is a young boy. Sam searches the boy and sees if she can sense a Goa'uld presence, she can't. The boy tells them he is here to warm them.
A young boy arrives at the SGC.
Dr Frasier examines the boy but can find no threat to them, he also seems to be human. The boy knows Jack's name, he says that his mother told him it and asks to talk to him alone. Jack orders everyone else to leave and he talks to the boy. The boy asks Jack about his son Charlie, he asks if it is okay to be called Charlie, Jack agrees to it. Charlie tells Jack that he comes from a world called Reetoulia which was wiped out by the Goa'uld, he is here to warn them that Reetou rebels plan to attack Earth.
The boys introduces himself to Jack.
Jack takes Teal'c to see the boy but he is scared of the Jaffa. Jack appeals to his mother who is meant to be in the room and Charlie now says his mother has told him to trust SG-1. Teal'c approaches but has to leave as his symbiote becomes very agitated. Jack follows and Teal'c tells him to be careful. Dr Frasier follows them out and tells them that Charlie is dieing, his brain area that is used for alertness is also enlarged, this could explain his abilities to know things about people.
SG-1 all go to see Charlie and he tells them that the Reetou rebels plan to wipe out all humans, thus eliminating the Goa'uld by attrition. Charlie tells them that the Reetou are invisible to humans and his mother operated the gate for him to arrive. His mother gets impatient with the humans and destroys a computer monitor to show them someone is there.
In a briefing they discuss how best to handle an invasion by an invisible enemy. Teal'c says his symbiote can feel the presence of a Reetou but not exactly where it is, he says the Goa'uld must have known where the Reetou are exactly as they destroyed them, they decide to call in the Tok'ra.
Jacob arrives and they ask to speak to Selmak. Selmak tells them they have heard of the Reetou and sends his guard back to where he can from once they know there is a Reetou at the base.
Jacob arrives.
The Tok'ra guard arrives back with some devices called TER's that can illuminate Reetou. They check out the infirmary where Charlie is, a Reetou is there.
A Reetou is present in the room.
In a briefing they discuss the situation. The Reetou rebels work in groups of 5 suicide bombers, they attack targets and cause lots of damage before the main group arrive. Jack goes to speak to Charlie and the mother Reetou to find out the address of the planet the Reetou rebels are on.
They send a MALP to the planet where the rebels are meant to be, there are none near the gate so they go through. Moving only a small distance from the gate Jacob and Teal'c's symbiotes become restless, the Reetou are near. Looking over a cliff they see masses of Reetou on the plain below. They return to the SGC.
In the control room Sam starts to install some palm readers so that the Reetou can't operate the computer systems. Teal'c and the Tok'ra guard start to feel a Reetou and the guard uses his TER but is killed, Teal'c manages to kill it though.
The Tok'ra guard is killed.
In the corridors Jack, Hammond and Jacob run into 4 more Reetou, it is one of the terrorist cells. Jack has the lights dropped so that the TER's will be more effective and they set off Reetou hunting.
They manage to take out 2 of the Reetou but Jacob is injured in the process. Jack and Daniel arrive in the infirmary, Jack gets hurt but Charlie's mother kills one of the rebels before being killed herself, Daniel then kills the last Reetou rebel.
Charlie's mum goes boom.
Charlie collapses, his pulse weak. Jacob enters and says that Charlie should go with them, a symbiote is the only way to save him, he would also grow old with great wisdom, Jack agrees. The Tok'ra leave the tER's at the SGC and take Charlie with them. Before he leaves Selmak takes control of Jacob and tells Teal'c he is the only one who can sense a Reetou, be vigilant they will try again.
Jacob and Charlie leave.
