The Stargate base is put in deadly peril when it is contaminated with a dangerous infection which causes its victims to become mindlessly animalistic brutes.

SG-1 va al planeta Cimmeria en busca de aliados contra los Goa'uld. Al llegar, Jack y Teal'c quedan atrapados en un laberinto, donde la única salida es a través del Martillo de Thor, un dispositivo para destruir a los Goa'uld pero preservar al anfitrión. Daniel Jackson debe destruir el dispositivo que podría haber salvado a su esposa en el futuro para liberar a sus amigos.

SG-1 inadvertently help a desperate criminal and are charged and sentenced as accessories to his crime. They are banished to a desolate, brutal penal colony and strike a deal with a powerful female prisoner to help them escape. But is this prisoner hiding something from them?

O'Neill y el equipo regresan a Cimmeria, el planeta donde destruyeron el Martillo de Thor para ayudar a Teal'c a escapar. Descubren que los Goa'uld han invadido y que muchas personas están muertas. ¿Podrán ayudar a encontrar las armas de Thor para repeler la invasión antes de que todos sean capturados o asesinados?

SG-1 arrives on a planet where a culturally 'medieval Catholic' community lives in fear of an Unas they believe to be a demon, which regularly collects human sacrifices to Satan - in fact hosts for System Lord Sokar's army. When Simon implores SG-1 to spare his beloved Mary and take him instead, they even nurse her chicken pox. Simon hopes they are sent by God to deliver them from the satanic burden, but the canon who rules the village as 'spiritual' leader is faithful to Sokar and fears his authority, which rests on his right to select the 'damned soul' to be sacrificed, has been challenged, so he declares Teal'c a demon and incarcerates all SG-1. Witch-trial-type ordeals see the Jaffa 'proven' a demon and executed by drowning, and Daniel refuses the canon's warning to leave immediately. When Teal'c's symbiote allows a resurrection even Sam hadn't expected, they are all designated possessed and sacrificed, along with Mary. Simon follows the Unas with a staff weapon to liberate them, but he's not alone.

Martouf lidera una delegación de Tok'ra con una noticia aplastante para Carter: su padre Jacob/Selmak ha sido capturado por Sokar y encarcelado en Netu, un nombre egipcio para el infierno, en una luna del planeta Delmal, donde los prisioneros son enviados a sufrir tortura eterna, y de donde nadie regresa; solo Jolinar ha logrado escapar. SG-1 lleva a cabo una operación de rescate con Martouf, siendo la máxima prioridad cualquier información que Selmak pueda ofrecer sobre el plan de Sokar para someter a los demás señores del sistema, una amenaza sin precedentes para todos los humanoides de la galaxia. Teal'c debe pilotar una nave Goa'uld y mantenerla en órbita, ya que el aterrizaje es imposible excepto mediante una pequeña cápsula, pero primero Martouf accede a la memoria de Jolinar, que está parcialmente bloqueada por algún trauma más allá de la tortura física. Solo cuando están abajo y bajo la custodia del señor de Netu, Bynarr, Sam se da cuenta de que él es la clave, de una manera "personal", pero no voluntariamente, como ella había pensado. Sokar se entera de su presencia a través de Bynarr y ordena que el equipo y la nave sean destruidos, pero esto también significa que debe haber una salida. El primer oficial de Bynarr, Na'onak, tiene, y es él mismo, una gran sorpresa.

When Daniel's Unas friend, Chaka, is captured by another world's slavers, SG-1 goes to that world to rescue him.

After Sam receives an emergency call from geneticist Dr. Richard Flemming, the SGC learns that he has been working for Immunotech, a company owned by Adrian Conrad, who implanted himself with a Goa'uld symbiote in order to cure himself. Fleming has now gone missing and General Hammond orders Sam, Jonas and Teal'c to investigate. They head to Oregon where Fleming lived and worked and learn from the local Sheriff that Fleming isn't the first Immunotech worker to disappear. The locals are acting strangely and seem to suffer from memory lapses. What they eventually find is a town full of Goa'uld and NID seemingly aware of everything that is going on.

While investigating the source of an addictive corn-like crop, SG-1 becomes involved in a firefight. They are forced to fall back to the gate, but as Daniel is dialing both the Stargate and the DHD are beamed away.
