9.1x "Ethon"
- "Damian works on Ethon (Quick! Grab your handy mythology encyclopedias!)" — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer. Also, according to Mallozzi, this episode has some off-world travel. (Ethon is the name of the eagle which ate Prometheus' liver while he was chained to Mount Caucasus after giving man fire.) (Written by Damian Kindler)

9.1x "Stronghold"
- "Alan will probably be working on Off the Grid once he completes his rewrite of Stronghold." — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer. Also, according to Mallozzi, this episode has some off-world travel. (Written by Alan McCullough)

9.1x "Off The Grid"

More on the Lucian Alliance." — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer. (The Lucian Alliance is first seen mentioned in "The Ties That Bind".)(Written by Alan McCullough)

9.1x "The Scourge" (tentative title)
- "As for the "Off-World Ambassadors" story - well, I seem to be stuck in second gear. Once Martin and Paul's outlines are solid, I'll send them what I have so far and see if we can hammer something out. This story (which I've tentatively renamed "The Blight"), is far removed from the last one I wrote, "Ripple Effect", which was a blast to work on. Hopefully once it all comes together and it's time for me to sit down and write it, I'll be equally inspired. I think the linchpin is the Chinese ambassador and once I can establish her arc and relationship with Daniel, the rest should fall into place." — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer. (Written by Joseph Mallozzi)
- "Well, I just sent off my preliminary outline for The Scourge (formerly The Blight which I changed because, technically, it isn't a blight – but don't get too attached to this title either). Last time Robert Picardo was in town (for Prototype) he was telling Martin how much he'd love to get in on the action for a change. Well, he'll get his wish in this episode and may regret it once he sees what's in store for Woolsey. Hope he's not squeamish. Many thanks to Martin Gero and Damian Kindler for the great notes on the preliminary preliminary outline." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog.

9.1x NOT YET TITLED
- "Provided Damian completes Ethon in the next week, and provided things fall into place, he'll be writing the episode in which "that character" returns. By the way, "that character" and "the much loved, sorely missed character" (of Ripple Effect) are, well, two different characters. Throw a third one into the mix...ah, its too complicated so I won't even go there." — Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer. (Written by Damian Kindler)
