they've encountered before. Martin Lloyd (last
seen in season 4's Point of No Return) pitches
a script to a television studio, which reads suspiciously
like the Stargate scenario. The Airforce let it
go so they have "plausible deniability".
Jack is sent to confront him to find out why the
ship is coming to Earth. When he gets there he
finds Marty has lost his memory again and he and

written by Robert C. Cooper
direct by Peter F. Woeste

the Stargate to escape 100s of Jaffa but Teal'c
(Christopher
Judge) delays his return to blow up Tanith's
ship, which then crashes into the Stargate trapping
Teal'c in transit. Sam theorises that Teal'c's
"pattern" is trapped in the Stargate
and that if they can somehow initialise it they
can retrieve him. They can't use the gate to send
anyone through or back as that would wipe Teal'cs
pattern from the buffer, so they seal the iris
inside the gate so no one can dial in. Col Simmons
comes and tells them they only have 48hours to
get Teal'c out, and brings with him a very annoying
scientist who the Pentagon think is the top blocke
on Stargate science (despite the fact he's never
actually seen the gate before) and it's he who
says after 48hours Teal'cs pattern will degrade.
Summit / season 5 - episode 15
written by Joseph Mallozzi, Paul Mullie
directed by Martin Wood
The Tok'ra enlist the help of Daniel (Michael
Shanks) to infiltrate a meeting of the Goa'uld
System Lords with the aim of killing all the Goa'ulds
at one time. The Tok'ra have a device which is
deadly to all symbiote's and when activated will
kill all within the surrounding location. Daniel
uses a mind altering drug which makes the System
Lord Yu believe that he is his slave and as he
hasn't encountered any of the other System Lords
it shouldn't be a problem. However there seems
to be a new player on the scene Osiris (Daniels
ex-girlfriend Sarah). As Daniel hasn't used the
weapon yet this causes a problem because his identity
has now been discovered.
Last Stand / season 5 - episode 16
written by Robert C. Cooper
directed by Martin Wood
Daniel (Michael
Shanks) injects Sarah/Osiris with some of
the mind altering drug and she thinks he's Yu's
servant. Then Daniel talking to Selmak explains
he can't use the Tok'ra weapon as he doesn't want
to kill Sarah but Selmak convinces him it's the
right thing to do. Daniel goes back to the conference
but discovers that Osiris is working on behalf
of another Goa'uld who is great and powerful -
Anubis- he now can't use the weapon as if he kills
all the System Lords then Anubis will be the greatest
and it's worse having one Goa'uld in control than
lots fighting for power. Daniel also finds out
that Zapacna knows the location of the Tok'ra
base and is going to attack it. Daniel tries to
capture Osiris so the Tok'ra can take the Goa'uld
out of Sarah but the plan misfires and Osiris
ends up knifing Yu, and Daniel escapes and he
and Selmak go to see if they can warn the Tok'ra.
