Précis
Gen. Landry recalls Carter from Area 51 in the hope her new weapon will destroy a force field placed on a Free Jaffa planet by the Ori. Peaceful negotiations fail and the weapon is used, but instead of destroying the force field, it enhances it, and soon, the entire planet is threatened. The problem can be solved, but it might require someone to make the ultimate sacrifice.

SciFi.com Official Summary
The official summary is not yet available as this episode has yet to air in the United States.
Episode Spoilers
Note: Latest updates are in color.
The following is a collection of spoilers gathered from various sources. Keep in mind that these interpretations are subject to change.
Lt. Col. Samantha Carter returns to the SGC: "She just walks in the door. She’s been looking after Area 51 and she’s been looking after a little personal commitment." The adventure for the team includes "a big Space Opera battle thing with some Goa'uld thrown in there for good measure." — Robert C. Cooper, Producer.
"In Beachhead, Carter will barely have time to unpack before she's at the frontline, doing what she does best - working on a way to help save the day." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.
"One of the reasons Sam took some "time off" was to deal with some of the events of last season. She'll return with a clearer mind, ready to resume her duties." — Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.
Some members of the team are wearing spacesuits on the planet visited in this episode. SG-1 has worn spacesuits when venturing out into outer space and when visiting a planet which has a toxic or unbreathable atmosphere.
According to spoilers on Stargate Project and GateWorld, Carter is brought back to the SGC in order to detonate a device/weapon she developed while at Area 51. This detonation is to destroy a force field placed on a planet of Free Jaffa by one of the Priors of the Ori. The weapon was to be used when negotiations failed. The problem is, instead of destroying the force field, the detonation makes it worse. While discussion on the next move is ongoing, Vala decides to act. She devises a plan, but it might mean that she'll make the ultimate sacrifice to carry it out.
Because these spoilers imply that Vala might very well be making the ultimate sacrifice to save a world, the question remains as to whether or not the character will ever been seen after this episode. In an exclusive interview with Executive Producer Joseph Mallozzi conducted by Marla R. Reed entitled "The Best of Both Stargates", a question was raised concerning the return of Vala. Mallozzi's response was, "This is science fiction. No one is gone forever. Just check out Ripple Effect."
As far as Vala’s returning for additional episodes after her first six, “The window isn’t closed on Vala. That’s for sure. It really depends on if I’m available, and they can get what they want [storywise]. It’s a nice position to be in, to be in love with a character you’ve played, who may live on again, who you want to go back to. I’ll leave you with the image of the australian coat of arm, which has the kangaroo and emu on either side, two animals that are incapable of walking backwards. I as an actor am incapable of going backwards. It’s been an interesting challenge first on ”PK Wars" [to go back to Aeryn], it’s nice to know Vala could [come back as well.]" — Claudia Black in a Chicago Tribune interview.
