''The official summary is not yet available as this episode has yet to air in the United States.''
With the departure of Gen. Jack O'Neill, Stargate Command enters a new era. That said, Stargate Command's new commanding officer, Gen. Hank Landry, and SG-1's new leader, Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, barely have time to settle in — let alone inaugurate a new era — before the sudden return of the beautiful thief Vala.


== Episode Spoilers ==
Motivated by her insatiable appetite for ill-gotten gain, Vala has come bearing a stolen tablet that only Dr. Daniel Jackson can decipher. She is convinced that the tablet holds the secret to an incredible buried treasure, while Daniel is convinced that some way, somehow, she's going to make his life miserable. At Mitchell's request, however, he consents to a meeting with her.


The following is a collection of spoilers gathered from various sources. Keep in mind that these interpretations are subject to change. Some of the events listed below most likely occur in the next episode, 9.02 "Avalon Part 2".
Unfortunately, the tablet isn't the only artifact Vala has stolen. She has also brought along some insurance — two ancient Jaffa bracelets that Teal'c explains were once used to bind prisoners to their guards and thus prevent escape. Before Daniel has a chance to argue, Vala clamps one of the bracelets onto his wrist and the other onto her own.


Gen. Jack O'Neill has been promoted and now runs Homeworld Security, a position formerly occupied by Gen. George Hammond. He hand-picked Maj. Gen. Hank Landry to take his place at Stargate Command (SGC).
After Dr. Lee tries and fails to remove the shackles, a resigned Daniel complies with Vala's demand and cracks the tablet's code. His translation leads the pair, along with Mitchell and Teal'c, into a deep and ancient cavern on Earth. With the treasure just out of reach, they find themselves trapped. Unless they can solve a series of complicated riddles, they will never find the treasure — and, worse, they'll never get out alive.


Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell led the F-302 squadron in the Antarctic when Anubis attacked Earth (7.22 "Lost City Part 2"). He was gravely injured in the battle and was promised a position on SG-1 once he recovered from his injuries. He endured about a year of physical therapy, but made a complete recovery. Upon his arrival at the SGC, he finds that there is no longer a unit called "SG-1". The former members of the team, Lt. Col. Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c, have gone to on to other assignments. Gen. Landry hands Mitchell a stack of personnel folders and instructs him to pick the members of his new team.
''Modified by Solutions''
 
Lt. Col. Samantha Carter is overseeing projects at Area 51 in Nevada and has been looking after Cassandra Fraiser after the young woman encounters some difficulties in her life (Cassandra is the adopted daughter of the late Dr. Janet Fraiser, Carter's good friend who died in the line of duty in the episode, 7.18 "Heroes Part 2".) She is not readily available to return to the SGC when Mitchell starts to ask the former members of the elite team if they will return to SG-1 under his command.
 
Teal'c is a member of the Free Jaffa Nation's High Council and lives on the planet Dakara. There are many political issues being faced by the Free Jaffa as they attempt to make themselves into a cohesive nation of diverse peoples, many of whom had encountered each other in battle when they served their former masters, the Goa'uld.
 
Dr. Daniel Jackson wants to go to Atlantis. He has been trying to go ever since he discovered the Ancients took their great city-ship, Atlantis, to the Pegasus Galaxy. Over a year ago, an expedition team went through the Stargate to the destination he had discovered, but Jack refused to let him go because the trip was most likely to be one-way for a very long time and he needed Daniel there in their fight against the Goa'uld (''Stargate Atlantis'': "Rising"). Now that the Goa'uld System Lords have been defeated, the Jaffa have been freed, the Replicators have been annihilated, and Anubis removed (in an eternal struggle with Oma Desala on the ascended plane), the Milky Way Galaxy is finally seeing a peace it had not seen for thousands of years (8.17 "Reckoning Part 2", 8.18 "Threads"). Daniel tried to get to the Pegasus Galaxy onboard the ''Prometheus'', but that mission was aborted after a space pirate named Vala hijacked the ship and attempted to sell it. The ship was damaged in a fight with death gliders and al'kesh mid-range bombers, and had to return to Earth for repairs. (8.12 "Prometheus Unbound") Now, the ''Daedalus'' spaceship can take him to Atlantis (8.19 "Moebius Part 1").
 
Dr. Carolyn Lam is a civilian physician assigned to the SGC. She is also the daughter of Gen. Landry and a former love interest of Cameron Mitchell.
 
Vala shows up at the SGC and gets involved in finding the mythical Avalon of Arthurian legend.
 
Somehow, Mitchell pursuades Daniel and Teal'c to go on this mission with him and Vala and the four set off together. They discover that Avalon was of the Ancients, just like Atlantis had been.
 
Their destination appears to be a cave comprised of chambers. Each chamber presents a different challenge.
* Mitchell encounters a holographic image of Merlin and pulls the sword out of the stone (most likely "Excalibur"). He engages in a broadsword fight with a medieval knight and apparently survives the encounter.
* Mitchell and Teal'c get trapped in a room with the ceiling coming down on them and Daniel must solve a riddle in order to stop the ceiling and free his friends before they are squashed.
* Daniel and Vala find a chamber where stones are placed into a device (they might be trapped in this chamber and decide to activate the device to get out). They are rendered unconscious, but their minds are linked to Ancients named Harrid and Sallis, a married couple who live on the planet Celestis in a far galaxy.

Précis

O'Neill is promoted and appoints his replacement at the SGC, Gen. Hank Landry. Newcomer Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell finds himself commander and sole member of SG-1. When the roguish Vala asks Daniel for help in finding an Ancient treasure linked to Arthurian Avalon, the makeshift team of Mitchell, Daniel, Teal'c, and Vala set off on a grand adventure which quickly turns life-threatening.

SciFi.com Official Summary

With the departure of Gen. Jack O'Neill, Stargate Command enters a new era. That said, Stargate Command's new commanding officer, Gen. Hank Landry, and SG-1's new leader, Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell, barely have time to settle in — let alone inaugurate a new era — before the sudden return of the beautiful thief Vala.

Motivated by her insatiable appetite for ill-gotten gain, Vala has come bearing a stolen tablet that only Dr. Daniel Jackson can decipher. She is convinced that the tablet holds the secret to an incredible buried treasure, while Daniel is convinced that some way, somehow, she's going to make his life miserable. At Mitchell's request, however, he consents to a meeting with her.

Unfortunately, the tablet isn't the only artifact Vala has stolen. She has also brought along some insurance — two ancient Jaffa bracelets that Teal'c explains were once used to bind prisoners to their guards and thus prevent escape. Before Daniel has a chance to argue, Vala clamps one of the bracelets onto his wrist and the other onto her own.

After Dr. Lee tries and fails to remove the shackles, a resigned Daniel complies with Vala's demand and cracks the tablet's code. His translation leads the pair, along with Mitchell and Teal'c, into a deep and ancient cavern on Earth. With the treasure just out of reach, they find themselves trapped. Unless they can solve a series of complicated riddles, they will never find the treasure — and, worse, they'll never get out alive.
