Episode Spoilers

Note: Latest updates are in color.

Lord Haikon (of the Sodan Jaffa from 9.08 "Babylon") is due to make a reappearance in the season two-parter, “The Fourth Horseman”.

Speaking of "The Fourth Horseman", Mallozzi advised fans in his Q&A on May 22: "Check out the big mid-season two-parter, The Fourth Horseman, in which a certain someone from her [Samantha Carter] past drops in to lend a hand - with poignant consequences." This sounds like Orlin might indeed return as originally thought. Mallozzi didn’t mention Sean Patrick Flanery, who originally played the role in “Ascension”, so it is possible that Orlin might return in another form, much like Oma Desala did for Daniel (such as in "Maternal Instinct" and "Meridian"). No word one way or the other has been confirmed, so this is mere speculation at this point.

[Edited to add: Mallozzi posted on his Q&A after this article was first released: "We know now that Sean Patrick Flannery will not be playing Orlin again in The Fourth Horseman I and II. Instead, the part will be played by the terrific Cameron Bright. How is this possible, you’re no doubt asking. Well, there’s a very good reason Orlin’s appearance has changed..."]

"As forces from Stargate Command, USAMRIID, the C.D.C., the W.H.O., and concerned governments try to head off a global pandemic, SG-1 race the clock in an effort to find a cure." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.

"Daniel and Mitchell will be heading off-world on a mission to retrieve a key element of a potential cure. Will someone be affected by the plague? The law of averages would suggest someone could very well be infected. Who? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.

"Fourth Horseman offers yet another reunion of sorts [for Carter] while Carter teams with Dr. Lee in an attempt to help capture 'the missing piece of a puzzle.'" — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld. The "reunion of sorts" is that of Orlin and Carter.

When asked which episode of the first half of Season Nine showed the best of the character of Samantha Carter and of the acting talents of Amanda Tapping, Joseph Mallozzi stated this on his Q&A thread at Gateworld, "Amanda does a wonderful job in The Fourth Horseman as Sam struggles to help save the world under an incredible emotional strain."

"Certain scheduling changes have necessitated our making changes to The 4th Horseman I and II. But change is good, especially in this case since it means (I know it sounds like I'm repeating myself) the return of a much-loved, sorely missed character. I think this season will be known as the season of returning much-loved, sorely missed characters. Anyways, it'll be great to have "this individual", my fellow gourmand, back in town." — Joseph Mallozzi on his Gateworld Blog. "Hammond retired and is currently serving as an advisor to President Hayes. Will he appear in season 9. I've already answered that question today." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld, alluding to an earlier statement he most probably made in his Blog, provided here.

"No, we won't be seeing Skaara and co. But we will be revisited by another ascended being. Check out The 4th Horseman I and II." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.

When asked about Daniel's ascended memories brought forth by Replicator Carter in "Reckoning", Joseph Mallozzi stated this in his Q&A thread at GateWorld: "The Ancients are very particular about what an "descended" human can and cannot remember. Check out The 4th Horseman I and II."

Producers Robert C. Cooper and Brad Wright confirmed at Comic Con that Hammond will return in the mid-season two-parter.

The world apparently recovers from the "influenza" outbreak, but there were losses.

Gerak, dies in his opposition to the Ori and Bra'tac is the only witness to his death.
