Flashbacks to Menace & Prometheus
Thor tells SG-1 that they need the ship because it is so low tech and the Replicators will not touch it. He tells them that the Asgard studied Reece and used a homing mechanism they found in her to call all the Replicators to their home world. Once they had them there, they had a trap. The plan was to activate a device that would create a bubble in space that slows down time around the planet, therefore giving the Asgard 1000's of years to solve the problem the Replicators possess. However it appears they failed and Thor wants SG-1 to travel to the planet and re-activate the device.
O'Neill says that there is no way they will do it, however after Thor tells
them the Replicators will come for Earth one day and the other places SG-1 have
visited O'Neill says he will re-consider but has to discuss it with his superiors.
The X-303 is towed back to Earth and supplies taken on board. O'Neill speaks
to
On route to the Asgard home world Sam works on a new control mechanism for the time device, built from Earth materials so the Replicators will ignore it. They drop out of hyperspace and Thor contacts them, he informs them that the device was activated, however the effects have been reversed and time inside the bubble is actually going faster. The Replicators must have gotten to it.
They touch down on the planet and head for the only structure remaining. They find the planets surface covered with Replicator blocks. They enter the structure and find the time device but are soon confronted by some humans. Their leader, First, tells Carter to move away from the device. O'Neill demands to know who they are, they say that they are Replicators. SG-1 open fire but it does them no damage at all. Replicator bugs enter and SG-1 are told to put down their weapons, the bugs withdraw and SG-1 do as they have been asked.
First approaches O'Neill and offers him his hand, when O'Neill accepts he squeezes it hard and as Jack is on his knees, puts his hand in his head. They are in Jack's unconsciousness. First shows him the day his son shot himself and tells Jack that whenever he doesn't do as he is told, he will relive that memory. First then proceeds to take Jack on a tour of every place he has ever been.
SG-1 wake up back on the ship, they have been out for 37 hours. They decide on a plan, blow up the ships hyper drive and Sam heads off to engineering. A while later Jonas and Jack go down there as well, they find one of the human Replicators is there, he is called Fifth. He informs them that blowing up the ship will only feed energy to the Replicators and that they are all invited to a meal in the main hall, all their stores have been taken there.
They attend the meal and the Replicators give them some information, including the fact that Fifth is very human due to them trying to iron out the problems in Reece's programming. Fifth joins with Sam but they are in his mind and not hers. Sam tells him that if they reverse the time device it would allow the Asgard to fix the others and make them human like he is, he isn't the faulty one, they are. She promises Fifth that he will be able to go with them and he agrees to help.
Fifth modifies the device. Jonas and Teal'c head back to the ship while Sam sets up the device and tells Fifth that it is set to 5 minutes, he should follow them in 3. However Jack indicates to Sam to set it for 3 minutes and she does so. She tells Fifth that they will not leave without him.
Jack and Sam get back to the ship and they prepare to leave. As Fifth goes to leave First arrives and asks what he has done, he tells him to stop the machine but Fifth refuses. First tells him that he has been made a fool of and that the humans are leaving without him. Fifth checks the timer and watches it count down the last 2 seconds and then activate knowing Sam has betrayed him.
On the ship Jonas tells Jack that he used Fifth's humanity against him and Sam agrees. Jack says that they did what they had too.
