Daniel comes face to face with the Ori, the beings posing as gods in this new galaxy and unknowingly reveals the existence of life in our own galaxy to them. Back at the SGC, the bodies of Daniel and Vala are still unconscious, but Dr. Lam reports that they are back to being stable again for now. General Landry meets with Gerak, who is now basically the leader of the Jaffa nation, to start work on an official treaty. This is interupted, however, by Mitchell and SG-12 bringing back a prior through the gate. Daniel and Vala manage to get back into their own bodies in the SGC for a short period, just in time to tell everyone about the Ori threat that is now heading towards our galaxy, but are then sucked back into the Ori galaxy. After hearing about the Ori threat, Mitchell confronts the Prior, who sends them a message about the power of his faith. After this, Daniel and Vala get taken by the villagers. Seeing that their heart rates are rising rapidly again, Mitchell must quickly find a way to get them back into their own bodies.

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.
