A new leader has risen among the Free Jaffa, K'tano, former First Prime of Imhotep. SG-1, accompanied by Bra'tac, seeks an alliance between the Tau'ri and the large force he has amassed.

El simbionte de O'Neill, Kanan, lo arrastra a un planeta gobernado por el Goa'uld Ba'al, donde Kanan estaba encubierto. Ba'al captura y tortura a O'Neill, cuya única esperanza puede estar en - ¿Daniel Jackson?!?

Los Tok'ra se ven obligados a evacuar su base recién establecida, que está siendo atacada por los Goa'uld. Huyen al sitio Alpha del SGC. Las tensiones aumentan entre las facciones aliadas, los Jaffa Libres, los Tau'ri y los Tok'ra. Jacob y Selmak sienten que el fin de los Tok'ra está cerca, y Sam descubre que un generador de Naquadah ha sido saboteado para funcionar como una bomba. Jack sospecha de los recién llegados Tok'ra y trata de descubrir al traidor.

Montando en el ascensor en el SGC, O'Neill es visitado por Daniel Jackson, quien necesita su ayuda. Daniel le dice que Anubis se dirige hacia Abydos para buscar algo llamado el Ojo de Ra, una reliquia que haría a Anubis todopoderoso. Es esencial que el SG-1 vaya a Abydos y asegure el Ojo, pero nadie lo ha visto, incluyendo a Daniel, y nadie ha podido encontrarlo. En el planeta, ven a su viejo amigo Skaara y, con la ayuda de Daniel, localizan el Ojo. También encuentran una tableta que habla de una ciudad perdida de los antiguos. Cuando Anubis y sus tropas aterrizan en masa, hay poco que alguien pueda hacer para detenerlos. Al final, queda en manos de Daniel decidir si intentará detener a Anubis, rompiendo así una regla cardinal de los Antiguos.

El arma superpoderosa de Anubis ha sido desactivada, pero la flota de Yu ha sido desviada al otro lado de la galaxia por el propio Yu, lo que permite que Anubis escape al hiperespacio. Jonas ha sido capturado por Anubis y Daniel todavía está a bordo de la nave de Anubis, evitando ser capturado. Anubis utiliza la sonda mental en Jonas, descubre el Naquadria y comienza su ataque a Kelowna. Los kelownianos buscan ayuda en el SGC. Jack y Sam llegan a Langara para descubrir que los kelownianos le han dado a Anubis Naquadria para asegurar su seguridad. Se comunican con Daniel, quien está tratando de liberar a Jonas. Teal'c ha convencido al primer primer ministro de Yu de buscar un nuevo líder de los Señores del Sistema, Ba'al.

After being saved by a group of free female Jaffa, SG-1 is taken to the females' home world to meet their leader, Ishta. Ishta proposes an alliance between her all-female rebel group, Haktil, and the Tau'ri. The Tau'ri offer her Tretonin to supplant their practice of taking the symbiotes from defeated Jaffa in the service of the Goa'uld. However, since Tretonin has only had two test subjects, Teal'c and Bra'tac, they are cautious to spread it among their ranks.

Teal'c is unhappy with his son's plans to marry. Ishta arrives bringing news that Hak'tyl may be compromised. Complications arise when O'Neill allows Hak'tyl to inhabit SGC until a new homeworld is found for them.

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.
