Teal'c awakens startled, in his bunk at the firehouse where fellow firefighter Jonas Quinn seems concerned. Teal'c does not have his head markings and is speaking to Jonas in Earth slang, calling him "man" and "probie"—the nickname for new recruits, on probationary status. Teal'c says he's fine and to go back to sleep. But then Teal'c notices his symbiote pouch is missing. Teal'c awakens from his hibernation-like state of Kelnoreem to find himself back in his quarters at Stargate Command.

Later, in the SGC mess hall, Major Carter suggests that perhaps Teal'c is concerned about the upcoming mission. Teal'c suddenly finds himself back at the firehouse with Captain Carter suggesting that perhaps he was worrying about his upcoming surgery, in which he would be donating a kidney to his stepfather, Brae. Fire Chief O'Neill suggests Teal'c give the matter more thought. But there is no better donor match and he cannot let Brae die.

The alarm sounds and the firefighters are called to a highway accident. One of the men being carried out on a stretcher looks up at Teal'c—his eyes glowing white. Again, it is Apophis. Chief O'Neill orders everyone away from the site, as one of the cars is about to explode. But Teal'c sees Brae—whom he now knows is his father figure, Bra'tac, in his other reality—trapped in the car—which car explodes, its force throwing Teal'c clear but injuring him.

Teal'c now finds himself collapsed on the floor of the SGC cafeteria, and he's rushed to the infirmary. Dr. Fraiser is quite concerned: No Jaffa has ever fainted before.

Précis

Teal'c mysteriously begins to lose his sense of reality, haunted by visions of an alternate existence where he is a normal human being. As his paranoia deepens, Teal'c must rely on the help and comfort of his old friend Daniel Jackson to determine where his dreams end…and his reality begins.

In a busy hospital Teal'c is being wheeled into surgery. As the surgeon in charge looks at him, the doctor's eyes glow white: It is the Goa'uld system lord Apophis.

Teal'c awakens startled, in his bunk at the firehouse where fellow firefighter Jonas Quinn seems concerned. Teal'c does not have his head markings and is speaking to Jonas in Earth slang, calling him "man" and "probie" — the nickname for new recruits, on probationary status. Teal'c says he's fine and to go back to sleep. But then Teal'c notices his symbiote pouch is missing. Teal'c awakens from his hibernation-like state of Kelnoreem to find himself back in his quarters at Stargate Command.

Later, in the SGC mess hall, Major Carter suggests that perhaps Teal'c is concerned about the upcoming mission. Teal'c suddenly finds himself back at the firehouse with Captain Carter suggesting that perhaps he was worrying about his upcoming surgery, in which he would be donating a kidney to his stepfather, Brae. Fire Chief O'Neill suggests Teal'c give the matter more thought. But there is no better donor match and he cannot let Brae die.

Chief O'Neill orders everyone away from the site, as one of the cars is about to explode. But Teal'c sees Brae — whom he now knows is his father figure, Bra'tac, in his other reality — trapped in the car—which car explodes, its force throwing Teal'c clear but injuring him.
