In an alien tavern, Vala nearly gets herself killed by her fellow gamblers before her half-human, half-Ori daughter Adria appears and rescues her. When Adria asks what Vala is doing without her SG-1 teammates, Vala admits that she has lost their trust. After several SGC personnel were fatally ambushed while following a tip from Vala about an Ancient treasure, she fell under suspicion. Facing expulsion from SG-1 and possible imprisonment, she fled Earth through the stargate By reading Vala's mind, Adria confirms that the story is true. She eagerly insists that Vala show her the location of the treasure. The moment they step onto the planet through the stargate, however, they're surrounded by SG-1. The whole thing has been a setup to trap Adria; with Vala's consent, artificial memories of her falling-out with Stargate Command have been implanted in her mind by the Galaran memory device SG-1 barely has time to enjoy this clever victory before the Goa'uld system lord Ba'al unexpectedly beams Adria away to his ship. Frustrated, SG-1 resolves to reclaim their hard-won prize. They track down the location of Ba'al's mothership, race there aboard the Odyssey, and beam over. Dodging heavy fire, they tag Adria with a locator beacon and beam back to the Odyssey with her as their prisoner at last Or so they think. In fact, Adria is no longer herself: Ba'al has abandoned his old host body and possessed Adria's instead. He now plans to claim her vast armies for his own. He offers to collaborate with SG-1 if they'll let him go, but they know better than to trust him. Instead, they call in a Tok'ra surgeon who attempts to remove the Ba'al symbiote from Adria and install a Tok'ra instead. Once in control of Adria's body, this new symbiote will order the Ori armies to leave the Milky Way galaxy forever. Just as the surgeon removes Ba'al, however, Ba'al releases a lethal toxin into Adria's body. The Tok'ra symbiote won't be able to survive the poison, and Adria herself will soon die, too As Vala somberly says good-bye to her unconscious daughter, Adria's eyes fly open. She may be near death, but she still has superhuman abilities � and a superhuman plan to save herself. As she locks down the Odyssey, SG-1 realizes that, once again, their prize prisoner is about to escape � and they'll be lucky if she doesn't kill them on her way out Latest Images More images are available in the Photo Galleries » |
