Summary
We open with Vala in labor on one of the Ori ships.
After the baby is born, a servant says “she is
beautiful,.” but before Vala can see the child,
the servant takes the child out of the room. A Prior
enters and proclaims the child is “the beacon of
light in the darkness” and “she will lead
us to glorious to victory against any and all nonbelievers.” The
Ori ships then enter hyperspace.
Next, we see Sam still floating in front of the super
gate She is frantically trying to establish communication
with any Earth or ally ship still left after the battle.
Finally, Mitchell answers her as he is beginning to regain
consciousness. Mitchell then remembers the events that
took place just before the Korolev was destroyed. He
managed to get into a F-302 and escape just in time.
Sam asks him about Daniel, but he tells her that he thinks
Daniel was still on board. Suddenly, Colonel Emerson
contacts them from the Odyssey. Emerson informs them
that they managed to get safely away to monitor the Ori
ships as they entered hyperspace. Teal'c then hails the
Odyssey. Emerson asks him if they can take some survivors,
but Teal'c is overrun by Lucian Alliance troops. As Mitchell
and Emerson are walking through the Odyssey, Emerson
is bringing Mitchell up to speed on the current situation
when the bridge calls, informing Emerson they have regained
contact with the Lucian Alliance mother ship. Netan demands
Emerson surrender the Odyssey or they will destroy it.
Mitchell tries to talk Netan out of his threat, but Netan
refuses to listen.
Meanwhile, on one of the Ori ships, Vala is in a bed
in her quarters and is in pain. Her husband enters and
she demands to see her daughter, and he says they have
agreed to allow her to see her daughter. The door suddenly
opens, and a girl of about four years old enters the
room. The girl walks to up Vala and places her hand on
Vala's stomach and eases pain she is having. The child
also senses Vala does not believe in the Ori. Back at
the SGC, Bra'tac comes through the stargate and informs
General Landry that the battle did not go well and that
the Ori laid waste to all in their path. Back on the
Odyssey, Mitchell and Kvasir are trying to get the Asgard
transporter working, but are unsuccessful. Mitchell then
decides to try “Plan B,” which means taking
the Odyssey to Sam and allowing her to float into one
of the hangar bays. She doesn't think it's going to work,
but Mitchell has confidence it will. On the Lucian Alliance
mother ship, Netan blames Teal'c for all that has happened.
He tells Teal'c that he's very angry and will feel better
by inflicting Teal'c a great deal of pain. Meanwhile,
the Odyssey, being piloted by Mitchell and Kvasir, slowly
makes it way to Sam. She floats into the hangar bay and
is “landed” onto the floor. In the Odyssey's
infirmary, Major Marks and Mitchell show Sam the data
from the Korolev's flight recorder. It shows the Korolev's
ring transport was activated. We then flashback to the
battle, to the bridge of the Korolev. They come up with
a plan to use the ship's ring transport to transport
a warhead on board one of the Ori ships. Daniel makes
his way to the transport platform, but before the plan
is ready, the Korolev is hit with the fatal shot that
destroys it. With mere seconds to act, Daniel sets the
rings for the Ori ship and beams on board
Meanwhile at the SGC, Landry is briefing Woolsey about
the situation. Woolsley tells Landry that the IOA is
considering bringing the ZPM from Atlantis to Earth to
power the Antarctic defenses. Landry says it could take
up to three weeks to get the ZPM back to Earth, and that
there is no guarantee that the platform would work. Back
on the Ori ship, Vala goes to visit her daughter. Vala
is astonished at how much more she has aged, and comments
that at her current rate she will have a very short life.
She tell Vala that she is very hungry and the two sit
down to eat. Vala asks her if she has a name, and she
replies they call her Orici. When asked what she would
like to call her, Vala says she would name her after
her own mother, Adria. Her daughter likes that name,
and decides to take that as her name. Adria says Vala
is trying to humanize her by naming her, and that the
Ori have woven all their knowledge into her genetic makeup
(at least all the knowledge that a human can comprehend).
She says she is the closest she can be to an Ori in flesh
and blood. Adria says that the Ancients are the ones
who have lied to everyone, and that they have kept the
basic truths of existence. Adria also says that the Ancients
are the ones who created humans to use as power in an
effort to destroy the Ori. She says that's why all those
who refuse to see the true path must be destroyed.
Back at the Odyssey, two more Lucian Alliance mother
ships drop out of hyperspace. Netan hails them again,
demanding they surrender or be destroyed. Just as the
Lucian Alliance ships are about to open fire, three more
mother ships drop out of hyperspace behind the Odyssey.
They are Jaffa ships, commanded by Bra'tac. Instead of
fighting, the other Lucian Alliance ships destroy their
damaged mother ship and flee. Carter and Kvasir are able
to transport Teal'c off the mother ship before it is
destroyed. On the Ori ship, Daniel finds Vala as she
is leaving Adria 's quarters. Vala explains to Daniel
about Adria and how she is the Ori's way of cheating
so prevent any action from the Ancients. Vala also says
that part of Adria wants to be accepted by her mother.
Vala also thinks they can use that somehow against Adria
. Suddenly, Adria 's husband enters the room, but Daniel
is able to hide in time. The Ori ship then comes out
of hyperspace, and her husband leaves the room because
he is called to duty.
On the Odyssey, Bra'tac reports that the Ori ships have
been found. They are in orbit over Chulak. The Ori destroy
the mother ship in orbit around the planet, and launch
fighters to destroy any other ships and defenses. Cameron
and Sam decide to go with Teal'c and Bra'tac to Chulak
in the hope that Daniel is still alive on one of the
Ori ships. On Chulak, Daniel and Vala come up with a
plan to capture Adria and try to turn her against the
Ori. Unfortunately as they are leaving, Vala's husband
overhears their conversation. Meanwhile, SG-1 and Bra'tac
devise a plan to use their mother ship's ring transport
and transport a Jaffa explosive onto one of the Ori ships
as it fires its main weapon. Sam points out the Korolev
was trying to do with before it was destroyed because
of a fluctuation that was discovered in the Ori ship's
shields. Daniel and Vala come up with their plan to kidnap
Adria , and Vala enters Adria 's quarters. By this time,
she has aged even more, and has began to show some Ori
power. She is able to light two torches with her mind.
Meanwhile, the Jaffa ships come out of hyperspace and
engage the Ori ships in orbit over Chulak. Sam sends
a signal out to any possible survivors of the Korolev,
and Daniel answers her. She tells him that they're in
orbit, but he requests radio silence because he's in
the middle of his plan. Within moments, one of the Jaffa
mother ships is destroyed by the Ori ship. Mitchell and
Teal'c transport the bomb over, but nothing happens.
On the ship, Vala gives Daniel the signal to enter,
but unfortunately Vala's husband has captured Daniel
and brings him into the room. He tells Adria that they
were conspiring against her, but she admits she knew
and orders Daniel killed. Vala tries to stop it, but
when her husband fires, she steps into the beam and is
shot. He and Adria rush over to her, and Adria begins
to heal her, but Daniel uses this opportunity and shoots
Adria and Vala's husband. Over Chulak, the second Jaffa
mother ship is destroyed and Bra'tac decides to ram the
Ori ship. Cameron and Sam try to talk Bra'tac out of
the suicide plan, but it Suddenly, the Odyssey comes
out of hyperspace and beams everyone off the mother ship
just before it rams the Ori ship. Back on the planet,
a Prior enters the room, but before he is able to act
against Daniel and Vala, they are beamed onto the Odyssey,
and the Odyssey enters hyperspace.
On the Odyssey, SG-1 and Vala are talking about the
current situation. When Teal'c mentions about this being
a war, Mitchell says that it's not a war. He says it's
just a lot of winning by the bad guys. Carter then mentions
about when they first opened the gate the Goa'uld dominated
the galaxy and had a substantial technological advantage
and they overcame it. Mitchell says he doesn't think
they need to give up, but come up with a new plan.
