Précis

Daniel learns he and the wilful Vala have been permanently bound together by means of an alien energy field in the bracelets she used to trap him in order to protect her profit in the Avalon adventure. The ties that bind them can be broken, but only if Daniel, Mitchell and Teal'c undertake a series of dangerous bartering missions under Vala's wily eye.

Episode Spoilers

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

In an alien marketplace, the Jaffa trader Inago is approached by Daniel and Mitchell. When the two tell him that they’re meeting with a mutual friend - Vala - Inago draws his weapon on them, only to wind up in a stand-off when Vala sneaks up behind him. Vala has used Daniel and Mitchell as her distraction.

When she and Inago greet one another, it becomes immediately apparent that Inago is about as fond of Vala as Daniel is. Each has cheated the other in the past, which presents real problems to Daniel and Mitchell, because Inago has something in his possession Vala needs back from him, and Vala had something in her possession that Inago needs back from her. Now, it’s in some very dangerous hands...

Back on Earth, Daniel, Teal'c and General Landry make a pitch to Senator Fisher for extra resources for the SGC to combat the Ori - the evil ascended beings whom Daniel encountered in a trance-like state (9.03 "Origin Part 3"). Senator Fisher's counter-proposal is to massively cut SGC funding, stop all new exploration and divert funds into building more ships like Daedalus.

While Teal'c attempts to argue that while the Jaffa are indeed free, the Goa'uld are still served by their human slaves and thus remain a threat, Vala - only present at the hearing because she’s inconveniently bound to Daniel by the alien energy field - decides to give the Senator a piece of her mind.

Her pithy, informative lecture on the, er, over-compensatory nature of big ships and big guns leads to the maligned Senator cutting short the meeting...and SG-1 having to go into dangerous territory to retrieve the technology they must trade with Inago in order to free Daniel from Vala.

Guest Characters: Vala, Inago, Senator Fisher, Arlos.
