===Storyline===
SG-1 continues on missions without Daniel Jackson. SG-3’s commander, Col. Reynolds, has put them in touch with Thilana, the leader of a village which is about to be attacked by the Ori’s army. Thilana is a strong leader with backbone and determination to refuse the Ori, but her fellow villager, Matar, isn’t as strong. SG-1 has come to the village to set up technology which will make the village seem to disappear so that the Ori will have no one to attack.
Thilana leads SG-1 to the village’s library where the records of her people are stored. Her ancestors recorded the history in secret, outside of the Goa’uld’s knowledge. There, Carter explains Merlin’s device to her: It shifts all matter within a preset range (the village) into another dimension. Because they’ll be in another dimension, the Prior of the Ori will not see or hear them and he’ll actually walk right through them. Mitchell is impressed that Thilana understands Carter’s explanation and claims that Carter normally has to “dumb things down” for him, but Carter says that he’s easier than General O’Neill!
After Carter sets up the device, SG-3 watches the Stargate for the Prior’s arrival. They’re aware that they’ll lose radio contact once the village and SG-1 are shifted into a different dimension.
The Ori have sent a squadron to attack the village, led by Firstman. He is a devoted Ori follower, having no problem at all in executing any villager who resists them. He witnesses the library where Carter and Mitchell are disappear before his eyes and determines to find out how it happened. Unfortunately, the village is discovered and Firstman threatens to burn the entire village to the ground if they do not capitulate.
Firstman’s squadron of fighters buzz through the air and attack the village. The wounded are taken to the local pub which has been converted into a makeshift hospital.
Teal’c is separated from his team. He searches for them, dressed in the robes of the villagers to hide his presence. He finds Thilana in the pub and asks her if she has seen his team, and Thilana says that she thinks that they have been captured or killed for resisting. Matar tells Thilana that he’s spoken to many of the other villagers and that they wish for her, as village leader, to go to the Prior on their behalf and embrace Origin so that the remaining people will be spared. Teal’c and Thilana try to talk Matar out of it, but he refuses to change his mind.
Carter and Mitchell are still inside the library, but Carter is badly wounded. Mitchell must administer morphine to ease her suffering. Both of them are still out of phase with the rest of the village and Mitchell proposes to set C-4 around the village and then turn off the device. In the meantime, Firstman has entered the pub and asks about the building which disappeared. Because he asks about the “magic”, Thilana challenges him that his gods are weak because they have not seen past the deception. Matar, knowing that SG-1 was behind activating the device, offers Teal’c for sacrifice, revealing his presence to Firstman as a show of devotion. Then, to Matar’s surprise, Firstman not only takes Teal’c, but himself and Thilana as well.
