''The official summary is not yet available as this episode has yet to air in the United States.''
With Vala missing in action after the incident at Kallana, Mitchell unites SG-1 under his command at last — and not a moment too soon. A Jaffa warrior belonging to the warlord Gerak turns up dead by the side of a rural Virginia road, and the team has to figure out why.


== Episode Spoilers ==
Mitchell and Teal'c interrogate Gerak at the Jaffa capital on Dakara, but he evades their questions. Daniel and Carter, meanwhile, head to Virginia, where they slowly uncover an intricate conspiracy involving several corporations, especially defense contractor Farrow-Marshall Aeronautics. Most of the men involved have also been linked to the Trust, a secretive international organization that was recently infiltrated by the Goa'uld. SG-1 hoped they'd solved that particular problem, but Daniel and Carter now suspect that more Goa'uld might still be operating within Earth's highest circles of power.


The following is a collection of spoilers gathered from various sources. Keep in mind that these interpretations are subject to change.
Back on Dakara, Ka'lel, another Jaffa leader, privately confides in Teal'c and Mitchell. Her shocking news confirms Daniel and Carter's theory: Ba'al, one of the most despotic of the Goa'uld system lords, is living incognito in the United States. Gerak has been sending Jaffa to Earth, hoping to capture Ba'al and thereby solidify his own grip on the hearts and minds of the Jaffa Council.


Carter is back at the SGC and has teamed up with Daniel and Agent Barrett to investigate the disappearances of top executives of the company Sentinel Media Enterprises. They disappeared about the same time as Osiris' ship was destroyed (8.14 "Full Alert"). That ship was under the control of members of The Trust who had been implanted with Goa'uld symbiotes and who had attempted to destroy Earth by causing a nuclear war. The fear is that now there may be several Goa'uld on Earth gaining strength, especially after another executive disappears.
After Gerak's Jaffa conduct an unsuccessful raid on Farrow-Marshall's headquarters, Ba'al himself steps openly into the game. He sends a videotaped message to Stargate Command, announcing that he wishes only to conduct his business on Earth in peace. Left alone, he promises to cause no trouble. But if anyone — human or Jaffa — tries to capture him again, he'll detonate a naquadah bomb somewhere in the United States.


It is also revealed that a Jaffa was found on Earth who had been in the service of Lord Yu. This Jaffa, now dead, had been sent by Gerak, one of the leaders of the Free Jaffa Nation, to find Ba'al! Gerak had intelligence information that Ba'al fled to Earth when he was defeated in the battle for Dakara (8.17 "Reckoning Part 2" and 8.18 "Threads"). Ba'al could have been on Earth for as long as nine months!
Letting a former system lord treat Earth as his personal playground is, of course, not an option. Mitchell and Teal'c struggle to restrain Gerak's Jaffa from making further attacks while Carter and Daniel track down Ba'al. They hope to kill him quickly and quietly, denying him time to detonate the bomb. Their plans are foiled, however, when Ba'al goes public at a TV news conference. Posing as a human businessman, he proudly announces his acquisition of Hammel Technologies, a major corporation.


Gerak is strongly opposed to any alliance with the Tau'ri and the Tok'ra, whom he views just as bad as the Goa'uld. There are other members of the Jaffa High Council who do not agree with Gerak, including a Jaffa named Tebrash. Gerak sent the Jaffa to track down Ba'al in secret, completely ignoring the alliance that they had with the Tau'ri in the war for the Jaffa’s freedom. Gerak also calls Teal'c's loyalty into question.
SG-1 must now find a way to capture the newly famous Ba'al, outwit Gerak's Jaffa warriors, and defuse a bomb hidden in a major U.S. city — all without exposing the Stargate Program.
 
It appears that either the ''Prometheus'' or the ''Daedalus'' is preventing the Jaffa from entering into Earth's space to continue their pursuit of Ba'al (which Gerak was doing in secret).
 
Action locations include Dakara and Earth.

Précis

Since the defeat of Anubis, the fallen Goa'uld System Lord Ba'al has been comfortably hiding out on Earth, flourishing as an aggressive capitalist - and criminal - and laying the foundations of a new empire. While efforts to locate and capture him badly strain the alliance between the Tau'ri and the Jaffa, Ba'al has a devious plan to secure his freedom.
