SciFi.com Official Summary
Major Samantha Carter disappears. She was last seen leaving her own home, and her car was found parked by a nearby fitness club. Colonel Jack O'Neill is given permission to search for her. Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c volunteer their assistance, but the SGC has no official jurisdiction.
Regardless, O'Neill is convinced that Carter's disappearance is connected to her work at the SGC. He contacts Harry Maybourne for information, and winds up speaking with Colonel Simmons, despite their previous difficulties. O'Neill figures out that an ailing billionaire named Adrian Conrad is involved—the man has acquired a live Goa'uld symbiote and hopes to use the creature to heal himself. Carter was abducted because she was once implanted and survived. Now Conrad wants to use her as a test subject—but if that doesn't kill her his scientists might, so they can cut her open and study how her body reacted to the creature.
