Storyline

Mitchell arrives in Kansas for a High School reunion in honor of the Class of 1987, Vala in tow. They meet Mitchell’s old high school friend, Darrell Grimes, as well as the beautiful Amy Vanderberg. While Darrell falls for Vala, Mitchell chats with Amy, telling her he had a serious crush on her in high school but didn’t have the courage to act on it. She admits she had a crush on him as well and watched all of his football games. Their reminiscing is interrupted by a cell phone call from General Landry, who manages to tell Mitchell through a poor cell connection that Carter and Teal’c have been attacked, and that Mitchell might be the next target.

While Mitchell begins to react to this news, alien bounty hunter Odai Ventrell makes his way into the reunion party dressed in the stolen clothes of another classmate attending the reunion. Brandishing an energy weapon, he corners Mitchell and tells him he is just bait for a bigger prize. Ventrell takes Mitchell’s phone and tells Landry, in Mitchell’s voice, that he needs assistance. Ventrell promises not to hurt anyone as long as Mitchell waits, without resisting, for the rest of SG-1 to come to Mitchell’s aid. Mitchell questions the assumption that SG-1 will come, telling Ventrell that Teal’c isn’t even on Earth, but Ventrell shows Mitchell a device that is tracking all of the members of SG-1. They are all in North America.

What Ventrell doesn’t know is that the SGC is onto him, and that Vala, who also has a price on her head, is elsewhere at the reunion. As Ventrell predicted, the remaining members of SG-1 come to Mitchell's rescue, with a surprising bag of tricks of their own.
