'''Official summary is not available as this episode has not yet aired in the United States.'''
With the situation onboard the ''Destiny'' dire, General O'Neill and Homeworld Command orders Col. Young to execute a high-risk plan concocted by the IOA scientists that, in theory, could return the crew to Earth. Col. Young tries to buy more time so that he can consult those on the ship whose lives are at stake. While using the communication stones, Camile Wray is approached by IOA representative Dale Strom who suggests that she steer opinion on the ship in favor of the plan.


===Spoiler Summary===
Eli and Chloe are allowed to use the communication stones to visit Earth and their loved ones for what may be the last time. Their homecoming is not what they expected and the two try to drink away their worries at a club, but are unable to ignore the looming fate of the ''Destiny'' that they have left behind.

''Modified by Solutions.''
 
:The casting sides for DALE STROM call for O’NEILL (is this our Maj. General Jack O’Neill from Homeworld Security fame, played by Richard Dean Anderson?), WILLIAMS, YOUNG (Justin Louis), and WRAY (Ming-Na). The majority of STROM’s dialogue is with WRAY.
 
:YOUNG and O’NEILL are discussing a problem that YOUNG believes they have some time to solve and O’NEILL supports YOUNG’s position as the one best to weigh the risks of survival.
 
:In a park in Washington (D.C.?), STROM and WRAY discuss how WRAY is adjusting to her new circumstances (stranded on the ''Destiny''). STROM tells her she’s their eyes and ears. WRAY knows that STROM had a hand in passing her over for promotion four times, so there isn’t any love lost between the two. STROM wants WRAY to push the solution that is being offered that could see the people aboard the ''Destiny'' return home, but she knows it is highly risky and could get them killed instead. This solution is experimental, but if successful, could enable the dialing to the ''Destiny'' without another Icarus-type planet (the Icarus Base was attacked in the series premiere “Air” and was lost). Not only do they hope to send the intended team, most likely led by COL. TELFORD (Lou Diamond Phillips), to the ship, but they hope that they can re-engineer one of Earth’s ships using the data (perhaps as a substitute base in the Milky Way). They have a great discovery on their hands now that they know where the ninth chevron leads.
 
:WRAY realizes that RUSH (Robert Carlyle) would have been the better choice in discussing this solution, but STROM confides that the IOA believes that RUSH doesn’t really want to come home and sees their circumstances as a way to take a shot at leading the expedition. WRAY believes that COL. YOUNG will keep control, but STROM believes that this situation could improve WRAY’s vie for power on the ship. If WRAY is in charge, then so is the IOA.

Production Notes

  • "Rob is eyeing #6 which offers a most intriguingly SF door in." — Joseph Mallozzi (November 11, 2008).
  • "With five stories in place, we turned our attention to episode #6 today, beating out Marty G.’s very first SGU script. This one involved a long, loooooong discussion on the workings of a certain technology which forms the impetus to another terrific character-driven story." — Joseph Mallozzi (November 14, 2008)
  • "So far, Martin, Carl, and Alan have put out outlines (and I’ve already provided notes on all three)..." — Joseph Mallozzi (December 5, 2008).
  • "Of the first ten episodes broken, we have a grand total of 0 forested planets. I’m not saying we won’t, eventually, come across one but, for the time being, the emphasis is on the ship and some locations atypical of Stargate. As a matter of fact, Executive Producer Robert Cooper and Director Andy Mikita are in New Mexico as we speak, scouting a cool-looking alien setting." — Joseph Mallozzi (December 19, 2008)
  • "Martin apparently has a first draft of Earth." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 5, 2009)
  • "Carl and Marty G. have already delivered their first drafts." — Joseph Mallozzi (January 7, 2009)

  • "Just found out who they got to direct "Earth". AWESOME. Can't wait." — Martin Gero (March 4, 2009)
  • "I read the revised Earth script. Rob completed his pass yesterday and it is terrific." — Joseph Mallozzi (March 10, 2009)
  • "Rob put out his pass on Earth and it’s terrific. The Chloe scene merits special mention - but nothing beyond the fact that it merits special mention because of the secrecy surrounding anything to do with the show." — Joseph Mallozzi (March 13, 2009)
  • "I was down on Stage 5 today watching Director Ernest Dickerson calling the shots on Earth." — Joseph Mallozzi (March 31, 2009)
  • "As for the actual episodes: Ernest Dickerson continues to do a bang-up job directing Earth..." — Joseph Mallozzi (April 2, 2009)
  • Phil writes: "I saw that Janelle Monae is appearing in an ep of Universe. Do you know which one it will be?" Answer: "The talented Ms. Monae will make an appearance in Earth." — Joseph Mallozzi (April 15, 2009)
  • "Robert Cooper is working on his producer’s cut of Earth and is awaiting notes on his brilliant script for Time as his prep week approaches." — Joseph Mallozzi (April 23, 2009)
  • "Just watched an early cut of my SG:U ep, "Earth". Everyone did an awesome job. The cast is gonna blow you away. Can't wait to see more." — Martin Gero, Twitter (April 29, 2009)
