The man Brat'ac brought with him dies and Brat'ac tells Teal'c he is too old to continue the struggle against the Goa'uld, he also tells Teal'c Apophis's men seemed to be searching for something, the go to see Daniel and decide it must be the Harcesis he was looking for (see Secrets). Daniel tells Brat'ac that the child was hidden on Kheb, Brat'ac has heard of the place.

Brat'ac says that he isn't yet ready to die but when he is its good to know he has the journey in front of him.
Daniel is now left alone with the monk and they continue to talk about Oma Desala, the Harcesis and himself, the monk tells him that his hate for the Goa'uld will lead to the child's death.

Daniel finds himself alone in the temple, he sees a light approach and it turns into an alien, Oma Desala. Daniel is shown the child and is about to leave with it when he realises that Oma Desala has been here all along and has been doing all the stuff to show him that she can protect the child, he says the child is better off with her.
