The SG-1 team gates to the planet Orban to learn about their culture and their technology. The team decides to invite two Orbanians back to Earth, while two of the team, Jackson and Teal'c, remain to observe things there. Once back on Earth, the SGC is surprised to learn the Orbanian pair they brought back are not what they appear. The little girl, Merrin, is the one that has the technical knowledge the SGC is looking for, and the grown man, Kalan, turns out to just be her chaperone. This strange twist leads the team to investigate further, leading the team to propose drastic action to resolve the situation they find on Orban.

Stargate SG-1 Show Summary

Step through the Stargate with SG-1, a team of soldiers and scientists, as they travel instantaneously to other planets to explore, forge alliances, defuse crises, establish trade, investigate ancient mysteries and defend Earth from such hostile forces as the Goa'uld and the Replicators.

For eight years, from their base at the U.S. Air Force's Stargate Command in the Rocky Mountains, Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dr. Daniel Jackson, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter and alien warrior Teal'c have braved everything that the universe has thrown at them, from interstellar war and evil twins to passing and ascension.

But changes came to SG-1 as it began its ninth year of fearless service to Earth. New faces joined the team, as Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell tries to fill the very big shoes of former SG-1 leader O'Neill, while General Hank Landry must adapt to the unique challenges of running Stargate Command, a posting unlike any other the military has to offer.

Offworld, SG-1 might have new friends - or new foes - in Vala, a former Goa'uld host turned freedom-fighter; and Gerak, a Jaffa leader who vies with Teal'c for political control of the new Jaffa nation.
