''The official summary is not yet available as this episode has yet to air in the United States.''
Daniel and Vala have been saved from the fanatical Ori followers, but — because their savior is an Ori priest and they're still trapped in "borrowed" bodies in a distant galaxy — they're not exactly home-free. Instead, the priest transports them to the Ori's holy realm of Celestis, where Daniel begins to uncover the secrets of the mysterious gods.


== Episode Spoilers ==
What he learns is not reassuring. The Ori seem to be Ascended Beings who believe that they deserve unquestioning worship and devotion from all humans. They also consider the more benevolent teachings of their Ascended rivals, the Ancients, to be evil.


'''Note:''' Latest updates are <font color="#AC4516">in color</font>.  
For millennia, the Ancients have protected the humans of the Milky Way from domination by the Ori, but Daniel's activation of the communications device has alerted the Ori to the vast numbers of unbelievers in Earth's home galaxy. As a result, the Ori have begun to send out missionaries, called Priors. Armed with the power of their Ascended masters and convinced that heathen lives are worthless, the Priors' goal is to convert the entire galaxy to the worship of the Ori &mdash; by any means necessary.


The following is a collection of spoilers gathered from various sources. Keep in mind that these interpretations are subject to change.  
As Daniel realizes that Earth is about to find itself on the wrong end of an intergalactic crusade, word reaches Stargate Command that a mysterious evangelist has arrived on a planet formerly occupied by the Goa'uld. Hoping to prevent the recently enslaved humans there from falling prey to what sounds suspiciously like another false god, Mitchell sets off to investigate. Teal'c stays at SGC, where he and Landry are deep in treaty negotiations with Gerak, the power-hungry new Jaffa leader.


“Origin” is the religious dogma preached by the Priors, missionaries of the Ori, “fiery gods” from a distant galaxy. They have been given the knowledge that our galaxy has not been “enlightened” and have come to convert us or destroy us.
Mitchell soon returns with an Ori Prior, who zealously preaches about the wondrous powers of the Ori to anyone who wants to listen &mdash; and to anyone who doesn't, for that matter. Meanwhile, after Daniel refuses to worship the Ori, he and Vala are returned to the village, where they are to be the bait in a deadly trap to catch other heretics. After that, they are to be burned to death &mdash; with no interruptions this time. When their bodies, still at Stargate Command, go into cardiac arrest, it's up to Mitchell and Teal'c to find a way to bring them home.
 
Daniel and Vala have been rendered unconscious by an alien device and all the efforts of Dr. Carolyn Lam (Lexa Doig) and Dr. Bill Lee (Bill Dow) have been for naught. As they attempt to find the medical and technical answers to save them, Mitchell, Dr. Lindsay, and SG-12 encounter a Prior on the planet P3X-421 who is preaching in a tent. The Prior has shown command of nature, making vegetables grow in less than an hour before the SGC personnel’s very eyes. Mitchell recruits the Prior to return to the SGC with him with the hope that he will release Daniel and Vala from the grips of the device. The Prior takes the invitation, but once seeing that the device will not release them, simply states, “It is the will of the Ori.”
 
The Ori are ascended beings who collect themselves in a wall of fire. Individual Ori take temporary possession of a host, a Doci, a human spiritual leader. Daniel’s mind is linked so that he experiences a face-to-face confrontation with a Doci and an Ori on the planet Celestis in a distant galaxy. The message is clear: turn to “Origin”, or be reduced to dust. As his confrontation progresses, his body experiences extreme stress, adding to Dr. Lam’s consternation.
 
Meanwhile, Gerak, former First Prime of the Goa'uld Atum, has been invited to the SGC to meet with Gen. Landry (Beau Bridges) and Teal'c. Accompanying Gerak (Louis Gossett, Jr.) is Vat'yir, another Jaffa formerly of Atum’s ranks, and an escort of six additional Jaffa. Gerak ceremoniously comes down the ramp, his path flanked by the six Jaffa. Teal'c is not amused.
 
Gerak has taken a role in leading the Free Jaffa Nation, but Landry and Teal'c realize his goals do not mesh with theirs. Landry attempts to persuade Gerak that they must continue to work together or all that they have worked for will deteriorate into chaos.
 
April Telek announced on her Bboard at "Galaxy of Stars" that she will begin shooting her role as an Ancient named Sallis this coming week. The episode scheduled to be filmed next week is "Origin" (on/about April 4-16). According to Telek’s announcement, "She is an Ancient, and married to Harrid (played by the extremely talented Steve Park), and without warning, their bodies are taken over by Vala and Daniel. Because there is no back story established for Harrid and Sallis, and because Steve and I have basically just had to "mirror" Michael and Claudia thus far, I can’t tell you much more at this point."
 
Telek is enthusiastic about filming for Stargate SG-1 and closed her announcement with this “P.S.”: "Regarding the costumes and set...BEAUTIFUL!! They truly are a work of art! I wear a long, very low cut, middle ages style frock, that’s got a boned bodice and laces up the back corset style! It’s heavy (it probably weighs 10-15 lbs) but it makes me feel like I’m definately from “another world”. The sets...to die for, and the cast, EVEN LOVELIER THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE!!"
 
<font color="AC4516">
"Check out Avalon II and Origin in which Daniel takes center stage and 'opens up a huuuuge can of worms'." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread on GateWorld.
 
"The main story arc that will drive most of the action through the show's 9th season and (hopefully) beyond will be inextricably linked to Daniel, his past experience with the Ancients, and his experiences in the opening 3 parter." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread on GateWorld.
 
When asked which episode of the first half of Season Nine showed the best of the character of Daniel Jackson and of the acting talents of Michael Shanks, Joseph Mallozzi stated this on his Q&A thread at Gateworld, "I think Michael was terrific in the opening three-parter, but especially so in Origin. We see DJ run the emotional gamut, from flip and fun to fearful and despairing."
 
"In re-tooling the show we wanted to stay true to many of the ideas that we’d already established," notes Cooper. "This included the theme of false gods and what it is to be a god and whether or not you believe in that. We wanted to continue to explore that concept and I think our new villains, the Ori, actually provide greater opportunity for us to do that. With the Goa’uld there really was no question. They were bad guys with snakes in their heads and who used technology to enslave people. With the Ori, it’s not quite so clear to everyone as to whether or not they’re worthy of our devotion." &mdash; from interview with Robert C. Cooper by Steve Eramo in ''TV Zone Special #64''.

Précis

Daniel and Vala, still in the grips of the Ancient communications device, encounter a Prior, a zealous missionary and highly evolved human with zero tolerance for unbelievers. While this Prior takes them to meet his fiery gods the Ori, another Prior arrives in the Milky Way galaxy to begin preaching Origin, the path to enlightenment. Those who stray from the path...die.
