Al encontrar los terrenos de prueba de Merlín, el Dr. Jackson, Teal'c, el Coronel Mitchell y Vala descubren el tesoro oculto, que incluye un libro que cuenta la historia de los Antiguos llegando a la Tierra desde otra galaxia y un extraño dispositivo alienígena.

Daniel y Vala han utilizado el dispositivo antiguo para habitar los cuerpos de personas en la galaxia de origen de los Alterans. Han sido llevados por un Prior de los Ori para encontrarse con el Doci, aquel que habla con los Ori, sus dioses. Daniel deduce que los Ori son lo que los Alterans que se convirtieron en los Antiguos dejaron atrás y han ascendido de manera similar, pero sin restricciones.

Vala returns to the SGC upon having been separated from Daniel for a little under an hour. The effects of the bracelets have not diminished even though they have been removed. In order to get the effects reversed, Mitchell, Jackson, and Vala must deal with many people that Vala has used over the years to gain favors.

Vala leads SG-1 to a planet which the Priors have visited with a plan to keep them from worshiping the Ori. Once there she reveals that the symbiote that once held her ruled over this planet. She feels that keeping them in allegiance to her will hinder the spread of Origin to this world.

SG-1 investigates a planet that is said to be the home of the Warriors of Sodan, a legendary tribe of Jaffa said to have not served the Goa'uld in 5,000 years. In an encounter with the warriors, Mitchell deals a deadly blow to one of the Sodan and is captured and taken to their village. There he awaits a battle to the death as punishment for his crime.

SG-1 encuentra un híbrido Goa'uld-Humano en estasis en un laboratorio abandonado de los Goa'uld y lo llevan de vuelta a la Tierra para estudiarlo, donde descubren que fue creado utilizando el ADN de Anubis.

Los Ori desatan una plaga mortal en la Tierra, lo que lleva a un poderoso aliado del pasado de SG-1 a acudir en su ayuda.

La plaga continúa propagándose entre la población de Estados Unidos y el Presidente ha puesto en cuarentena a la nación. Teal'c está suplicando al Alto Consejo Jaffa que rechace el Origen, pero Gerak llega, habiendo sido transformado por los Ori en un Prior. Cameron y Daniel buscan la sangre del Prior que causó la plaga para curarla, pero una vez más han sido capturados por los Sodan.

SG-1 regresa temprano de una misión solo para darse cuenta de que ellos y el Gral. Landry no están en la misma página en lo que respecta a la misión que acaban de completar. La confusión se resuelve rápidamente cuando el "verdadero" SG-1 regresa en el momento correcto. La Dra. Lam los examina a todos y concluye que son idénticos y piensa que podrían ser clones. Sin embargo, Sam cree que podrían haber venido de un universo paralelo como resultado del agujero negro que crearon cuando destruyeron el punto de apoyo de los Ori. A medida que llegan más equipos de SG-1 de otros universos alternativos, uno de ellos incluye al Dr. Fraiser y otro incluye al Tok'ra Martouf. Queda en manos de Sam y Martouf encontrar una manera de enviarlos a todos a casa.

Teal'c and Bra'tac are among the numerous victims -though only wounded- of several bomb attacks killing 32 men at a summit in the Jaffa settlement Dar Eshkalon. As soon as physically able, Teal'c swears to avenge them personally, suspecting the honor-less, ambitious warrior Arkad; General Landry refuses to sanction a killing mission without solid proof, but cannot stop Teal'c from going it alone. Bra'tac explains Arkad's sinister past to Daniel, including the possibility of murdering Teal'c's mother. Information from the resistance on another planet indicates Arkad is in league with the Ori and plans to attack Earth. Arkad comes to meet General Landry, offering to help defend Earth against the Ori, denying any part in the bombings, while defending Origin, incriminating a Jaffa sect. SG-1 is now ordered to find and stop at all cost Teal'c, who is using torture. But Teal'c, committed to killing Arkad, reaches his place, but is wounded, captured, and made to duel Arkad after it is confirmed he had killed Teal'c's parents.

Stargate Command gets a video message from Vala's extremely unreliable father, Jacek, on the planet Robak; he claims to know about the late Arkad's plans to attack and blow up Earth, even about the several cloaked, Naquadah-laden cargo ships in orbit, and offers details in exchange for sanctuary. General Landry asks Dr. Lam to help him resume contact with her mother, Kim, his ex-wife. Even after the cargoes are found and blown up, Vala abhors her dad's entry. The general asks her to go easy on him, realizing that he, too, neglected his daughter because of his career, even if Jacek's neglect was just criminal. When Cam and Daniel go tell Jacek he shouldn't scam people, he tricks them into talking to Vala for him. Vala goes over just for catharsis, telling him she's through picking up the pieces of his tricks, and he certainly keeps scamming - as Daniel also finds - even with Terak, a Jaffa from an escaped cargo ship, who hopes to sell the Naquadah. When they are apprehended, Jacek promises to help track it and override the rigging of the cargo ship. The Jaffa wait for Jacek and Vala, intending to eliminate them now that Terak is gone, but SG-1 saves them. Since there never was an override, Jacek cheerfully flies away alone in the cargo ship, ignoring that his treachery was anticipated: it's a decoy.
