THE PLOT

Flashbacks to Redemption - Part One

They only have 54 hours left to stop Anubis. McKay says that they should send a massive EM pulse back through the stargate to cause it to disengage. Hammond asks Sam if the idea would work. She tells him that she did think of it, but discarded it because they would have to open the iris, thus increasing the energy input. The idea is also very problematic. Hammond however gives it the go ahead as it’s the only option they have.

Brat'ac has found a planet that they can't contact. Rya'c says that he is coming with them on the mission but Teal'c is against it. Rya'c asks his father if he truly doesn't doubt him then he would be allowed to come, he also wants to see the Goa'uld being defeated. Teal'c caves in to Rya'c's demands and allows him to come. Shaq'rel takes them in the cargo ship he came in. When they arrive at the planet they find in heavily guarded by orbiting Hat'ack ships.

At the SGC the EM generator is being put in place in front of the stargate. The blast doors are closed and the iris opened. The EM pulse fires and all the electrical equipment in the gate room shuts down. Nothing happens to the gate. Suddenly an electrical charge backfires into around the gate and EM generator. Sam manages to close the iris but she is knocked out by the charge.

Teal'c, Brat'ac and Rya'c are ringed to the surface where they come under attack from Jaffa guards. They manage to defeat them but Rya'c is hit by a staff blast. They make their way to the gate site where they observe a device, designed by the Ancients, firing an energy stream into the wormhole. Rya'c is told to stay where he is while Teal'c and Brat'ac go and try to destroy the device.

Jonas asks Sam how the gate was got into the gate room. She tells him that the roof above the gate opens up and leads to the surface, it was craned in. This gives Sam an idea. She holds a briefing and tells everyone that they are going to get the gate out of the base, attach it to the X-302 and fly it out of Earths atmosphere, allowing it to explode harmlessly in space.

Teal'c and Brat'ac are captured by the Jaffa patrols. Teal'c is taken before the Jaffa commander who demands to know where the 3rd member of the party, the boy, is. Teal'c will not tell him. The boy is ordered found and the commander tells Teal'c that he will show him how a real warrior fights, to the death. Rya'c is still where he was left when nightfall comes. He leaves his position and overhears a group of Jaffa saying the prisoners will be taken to the rings. Rya'c sees a Glider go overhead and follows it, finding the Glider holding area.

Jack arrives at Area 51, he is to fly the 302. The ship has been attached to the back of a jumbo jet, with the gate attached underneath. Jack has to get to 50km before he can fire the rocket booster. However the ship starts loosing power at 48km and he has to fire it early. The 302 doesn't get high enough to escape the atmosphere and starts to fall back to Earth. McKay suggests they put the 302 into a nosedive and drop the gate into the ocean where the effects of the explosion will be reduced. Jack asks about using the hyperspace window generator for a small jump, it doesn't matter where it goes as long as it isn't here. Sam and McKay work on a sub-routine to programme into the 302 to produce a stable enough window to send the gate through. They go ahead with the plan and the gate explodes harmlessly in hyperspace. Jack ejected just before the ship entered the window.

Rya'c has managed to steal a Glider and rescues Teal'c and Brat'ac. He then attacks the stargate weapon and destroys it. The weapon however shut off before Rya'c could destroy it, they don't know if Earth is safe or not.

At the SGC they are all clearing up. The Russians have offered to trade for their gate but with the possibilities of Anubis doing this again then that gate will have to be buried. They receive a communication from Teal'c who tells them that they have destroyed the weapon.

Teal'c, Brat'ac and Rya'c arrive back at the SGC as the Russian gate is being installed into the base. Jonas talks to Jack about him joining SG-1 but Jack just stonewalls him. Hammond talks to Jack and tells him that they will have to have a Russian join SG-1, its part of the deal to get the gate. Jack says that the Russians can have a unit or something, he has already got a new team member.

Jack, Sam and Teal'c wait in the gate room, ready to head out. Jonas arrives, outfitted in SGC field uniform. They all head out together.
