Précis

Still in the underground caverns of Avalon, the team faces several challenges to prove their worthiness and scholarship as a test to access the knowledge of the Ancients who returned to Earth 10,000 years ago. The thrill of success is soon replaced with fear and uncertainty after Daniel and Vala activate a newly-discovered Ancient device.

Episode Spoilers

The following is a collection of spoilers gathered from various sources. Keep in mind that these interpretations are subject to change.

The team is in an underground cavern comprised of chambers. Each chamber presents a different challenge. Mitchell and Teal'c are trapped in one chamber and Daniel and Vala in another. The ceilings in both chambers are lowering, threatening to squash them after they unsuccessfully meet the challenges. Daniel, however, solves the puzzles in enough time to save everyone's lives.

Daniel activates an Ancient long-range communications device which links his and Vala's minds to the bodies of an Ancient married couple, Harrid and Sallis, on the planet Celestis in a far galaxy. Daniel and Vala are rendered unconscious during the link and they and the device are taken back to the SGC.

"Check out Avalon II and Origin in which Daniel takes center stage and 'opens up a huuuuge can of worms'." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread on GateWorld.

"The main story arc that will drive most of the action through the show's 9th season and (hopefully) beyond will be inextricably linked to Daniel, his past experience with the Ancients, and his experiences in the opening 3 parter." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread on GateWorld.

"We’ve always tried to ground SG-1’s stories as well as mythology in some form of Earth mythology and put a twist on it. Previous to this it was Egyptian mythology and the Goa’uld posing as Egyptian gods. Going forward, we had to decide what mythology we were going to next play on. We hadn’t done the King Arthur/Avalon/Merlin mythology before. With Merlin being one of the more famous magical figures, I thought it would be interesting if we revealed he was an Ancient. That Merlin had, in fact, returned to Earth from Atlantis after the war with the Wraith and settled on our planet." — Robert C. Cooper in an interview with Steve Eramo in TV Zone Special #64.
