"'''Within the Serpent's Grasp'''" (Part 2 of 3) is the ] ] episode of the ] ] '']''.

==Plot==
] has shut down the ]. Hammond went to him twice and the second time he was thrown out of Kinsey's office. He then went to the ], the ], even the President himself; but it would be political suicide for any of them to override the Senate committee. Knowing that the slaughter that took place in "'']''" could happen in this reality, ] convinces his team members to violate orders. They then arm, activate the ] and travel to the home of the Destroyers.

They find themselves in a large room and at first don't know on which planet they are. Exploring the room, they however find an until now unknown type of ] small hand weapon named ], which they take with them. Suddenly there is a strong movement and all the members of the team (except ]) are thrown back. Hidden doors open and SG-1 hide as Jaffa march in. They bow before the Stargate as a large ball rises into the center of it. The Jaffa leave. Teal'c explains the ball is A Goa'uld long-range communication device. They soon discover they have gated not to a planet but to a ] which was in orbit of a planet (thus making a dialing possible). It launched into hyperspace towards Earth after their arrival, cutting off escape. On Earth, ] is ordered to bring them back, officially for court-martial, but because the ship jumped into hyperspace they also can't go through the gate.

SG-1 hide in the ] bays and realise they are on an attack ship headed to Earth. They also notice that Jaffa are heading to a gathering. Sneaking back into the cargo room, they watch a large meeting in which they overhear ] unveil his son, ] (]), the leader of this ship until Apophis rejoins them. ] orders ] and Daniel to plant ] all over the ship while he and Teal'c grab Klorel, in the hope that Skaara can fight the ] within him.

They capture Klorel but Skaara is able to assert control only briefly after one painful shot from a Zat gun (two shots kill). He says sorry to O'Neill since he feels responsible for Klorel's doings but then the Goa'uld takes back control. When guards enter they surrender rather than kill Klorel, who then brings the two into the cargo room and contacts his father. Apophis is pleased, and orders Teal'c's and O'Neill's immediate execution. When asked if there are other humans aboard, Klorel makes a typical Goa'uld mistake of overconfidence, declaring "I assure you, father. There could be no more."

Skaara seemingly exerts some influence, as Klorel ''disobeys his father's orders'' and delays their execution, bringing them to the Pel'tak (bridge) to witness the destruction of Earth. Carter sets a timer on the bombs, and she and Daniel try to free their friends. They successfully take out the guards but then Klorel grabs Daniel, knocks the gun out of his hands, and uses a ] on him, intending to kill Daniel. When Klorel doesn't stop, O'Neill is forced to kill Klorel/Skaara.

Looking through the window, they see Earth while the ]s prepare for launch.

==Production notes==

This episode contains the only scene produced especially for ], not shown on the syndicated versions. When seeing a floating metal ball, Teal'c explains "It is a Goa'uld long-range visual communication device, somewhat like your ], only much further advanced."<br />In the Showtime version, O'Neill says "Think it gets Showtime?"<br />In the other versions, O'Neill says "Mmm... Goa'uld TV."<br />Since ] is a fan of ], the latter is one of many such in-jokes.

Cairn Deep Space Radar, which detects the Goa'uld ships passing Saturn, appears to be a fictional part of the ]. The ] and ], who get a closer look, are of course real.

==Series continuity==

This episode marks the last appearance of ], who first appeared in the ], though he is mentioned later in ].

Teal'c introduces ] and how they operate. Previously, the only Goa'uld hand-held weapons known to the viewer (and the ]) were the much longer ]s.
