Col. Jack O'Neill was never thrilled that a Russian team was operating from Stargate Command, so when Lt. Col. Sergei Evanov and his team bring back an unauthorized alien, he's livid. But the alien, Alebran, who is seriously injured, says his people are being experimented on by the Goa'uld system lord Nirrti, with whom O'Neill reluctantly made a deal a while back that let her go free. Alebran has vital intel about Nirrti's current plans

Maj. Carter, Dr. Janet Fraiser and Teal'c figure, from what Alebran tells them, that Nirrti has a DNA resequencer that she is using to mutate his people � while telling them that she is curing them of a plague. She is actually still trying to create a hok'tar � an advanced human that she can use as a host in order to become the most powerful Goa'uld

Suddenly, Alebran clutches his chest and literally melts away

SG-1 goes to Alebran's planet to find Nirrti and terminate her. Sergei knows the layout, so he comes along. While Sergei stays behind as a perimeter guard, Carter, Jonas Quinn, Teal'c and O'Neill infiltrate Nirrti's fortress and find Alebran's people � mutated by DNA experimentation. The aliens think Nirrti is a god who is helping them. Two of them have received superhuman powers from her DNA treatments: Wodan, Alebran's brother, has telekinetic powers strong enough to stop a bullet from O'Neill's P-90 in midair. And Eggar can read minds and knows that O'Neill wants Nirrti dead

The SG-1 team-members are thrown into cells, where they wait for Nirrti to experiment on them, one by one. Carter is taken first and comes back molecularly unstable, soon to suffer the same fate as Alebran and Sergei � who was also captured and experimented on ... and dissolves into a puddle in his cell

Nirrti takes a special interest in Jonas, who apparently is genetically superior to ordinary humans. Evidently, a thousand years on another planet in slavery to the Goa'uld did his people some good. She tries to seduce him into becoming a hok'tar so she can see if the experiment will work before she tries it herself. But he resists her promises of power

O'Neill is next. Just before Nirrti puts him in the machine, O'Neill convinces Eggar to read her thoughts and learn the truth. When he and Wodan discover that she really did kill their people, Wodan levitates her and breaks her neck with his mind. Unfortunately, Nirrti was the only one who knew how the machine worked and who could have reversed Carter's condition

Yet Eggar had also learned how to operate the device while he was reading Nirrti's mind, and makes Carter whole again. And he assures SG-1 that after he restores his people, he will destroy the machine
