Television episode| "Orpheus (Stargate SG-1)" |
|---|
Plot
Template:Sgspoiler The Stargate is dialed by a desperate SG-1, under fire and retreating, who relays this to General Hammond. The guards in the gate room prepare themselves as SG-1 comes through, minus Teal'c. He follows a few seconds later, chased by a Jaffa, who is quickly shot by the guards. When the pursuer is killed, Teal'c falls to the floor with a large wound from a staff weapon in his stomach.
Teal'c wakes up in the infirmary where Dr. Fraiser tells him what has transpired and that more recovery is needed. While Sam and Daniel describe their previous mission to Hammond, Frasier updates him about Teal'c's situation. Daniel visits Teal'c and wants to talk with him about his son, but Teal'c refuses to talk, so Daniel leaves. As he leaves, he suddenly hears mysterious voices. Some times later, Teal'c trains for his recovery while Daniel and Sam work out. They notice that Teal'c is rigorously training, perhaps too much, but he ignores their concerns. After making a full recovery, Teal’c begins to train more than ever, yet remains uncharacteristically taciturn.
In the meantime, Sam and Daniel look over Stargate addresses because Daniel feels an inclination to recover a lost memory. He only knows it’s connected with the wormhole generated by the Stargate. When he and Jack visit Teal'c, he finally reveals that his reticent attitude is due to a weakness felt due to use of the Tretonin, and his team mates can offer no consolation.
To help himself remember, Daniel asks Teal'c to teach him Kel No Reem, or Jaffa meditation, which aids in the uncovering of a memory regarding Rya'c and Bra'tac who, together with other Jaffa, are working as slaves on an unknown world. Because Teal'c has no knowledge of this place, SG-1 contacts Rak'nor to assist in their plight. In the meantime, Rya'c and Bra'tac witness an atrocious execution, at the hands of a malevolent first prime, of several slaves too weak to work. At SGC, Rak'nor tells them about the planet in question. The planet’s Stargate is protected by an energy shield, much like SGC’s iris, but Rak’nor is unable to provide a way past this defense. Coincidentally, to solve this problem, Daniel has a vision pertaining to Bra'tac’s capture, and discovers the key to penetrate the shield.
SG-1, SG-3, and Rak'nor embark on a rescue mission, planting themselves atop a hill overlooking the prison camp. During the night, Teal'c and Rak'nor sneak into the camp but are betrayed, captured, and tortured. The SG teams, unable to do anything, decide to create a diversion. Sam and Daniel beam up into the nearby Ha'tak, which is under construction and near the planet’s surface, to place C-4, but cannot get to the Ring Transporter, which is under heavy guard. In the meantime, Teal'c enlightens Bra'tac and Rya'c about their plans to flee and the word is spread among fellow Jaffa. However, Rya'c is scheduled for execution when Teal'c takes his place. Before he is killed, the C-4 explodes, plunging the mothership to the ground. The first prime swiftly orders his Jaffa to the ship when they are deftly ambushed by the SG teams. The Jaffa slaves turn on their captors and the SG teams sniper several guards. During the rebellion, Teal'c is able to kill the abominable first prime, regaining his self-confidence. The combined force of the slaves and SG teams overwhelms and captures the camp.
The group returns to SGC to care for the wounded. In the end, Teal'c and Daniel, together, meditate and converse about Daniel’s ascension.
Notes
- The name of the soldier O'Neill switches weapons with, Penhall, is another inside-joke from director Peter DeLuise. The episode was written and directed by Peter DeLuise, who played Penhall on “21 Jump Street.”
