Spoiler Summary
SPOILERS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE AS THIS EPISODE IS IN PRODUCTION.
From IGN, April 2010:
The situation is dire for Lt. Scott, Eli, Chloe and Greer. While trapped beneath the ruins in an underground maze, Destiny jumped back into FTL leaving them behind. They must first find a way out of the ruins before they can figure out how to survive without the Destiny.
Meanwhile, unable to turn the massive ship around, Dr. Rush and Colonel Young work to devise a plan to get the lost crew members back. But the situation grows even more desperate when Rush learns that Destiny will soon be leaving the present galaxy, stranding the away team forever.
From Spoiler TV, September 1, 2009:
- REGINALD GREER is Ronald Greer's father. He was a Gulf War veteran and once won a medal for his service. His wife Angela stayed by his side, even when he grew mean and angry and abused Ronald (claiming that he was preparing him for a cruel world). He most likely was a victim of PTSD.
- YOUNG GREER (aged 12) suffered from his father's mental and physical abuse. He remained strong because of the love and support of his mother. Young Greer rescued both of his parents from a house fire.
From Audition Sides:
- Greer is by himself, trapped in rubble on a planet. During his extreme ordeal, he is haunted by his father's ghost and memories of his life under his father's anger and mistreatment. He remembers his mother telling him that his father used to be a good man and a good father, but Ronald was too young to remember.
- Greer rescued his mother and father from a house fire, pulling each one out separately.
- Later in his life, when he's 20 years old, Ronald visited his father in the veteran's hospital.
- Greer also remembers when he told his mother that he had enlisted in the service, the chance at winning a scholarship gone.
- In the meantime, Eli, Chloe, and Scott have sadly left Greer behind, thinking him dead as a result of the collapse. The three team mates are traveling from one planet to another. On one planet, they encounter a dinosaur-like creature that nearly kills them all before they escape through a hastily-dialed Stargate. They lose their Kino on a planet with a toxic atmosphere and must rely on dumb luck that the next address leads them to a safe planet. Scott volunteers to go first to test it out.
- Greer manages to dig himself out of the rubble, but it's too late; his team is gone. He builds a small camp near the Stargate, hoping that his team will return for him.
- Rush, James and their team are also traveling through the Stargate.
- Tamara and Young must face some very troubling and personal news. (She tells him about her pregnancy.)
