10.08 MEMENTO MORI
Summary
Vala is kidnapped for information deep inside her memory, but is left without her memories after her captors subject her to the use of a memory device. She manages to escape, find a job as a waitress, and attempt to put together the pieces of her life. In the meantime, SG-1 must locate her by interrogating her captors.
Details
Athena, the Greek goddess of war, kidnaps Vala for information hidden deep in the recesses of her mind. The use of a memory device backfires and leaves her without memories of who she is. Somehow, she escapes her captors from the warehouse they have taken her and finds herself in a nearby deli. She orders food, but cannot pay for it. The owner of the deli, Sol, eventually believes her story about her lost memories and offers to take her to the hospital. Vala has a flashback of being strapped down by two people, Weaver and Kakalios, and strongly refuses the offer. Sol befriends her and hires her as a waitress. Later, Vala impresses him by single-handedly subduing armed thugs. Ryan, one of Sol’s regular customers and a cop, takes Vala in for questioning.
Back at the SGC, Mitchell and Teal’c interrogate Weaver as Daniel and Carter look on. Mitchell offers Weaver protection after Weaver claims he wants to help them, but fears for his own well-being.
