PLOT


On Abydos Skaara talks with several people about Anubis , who will attack soon, when suddenly Daniel appears. He also appears to Col. O'Neill in an elevator at Stargate Command and updates him on the situation with Anubis, who plans to get the “Eye of Ra” from Abydos, a key (along with five others) to using a super weapon. So, it must be kept away from the Goa'uld . They also talk about Oma Desala's and Daniel’s ascension because they constantly break rules set by the other ascended beings.

Jack tells General Hammond and SG-1 about the situation and that his source of information was Daniel. Suddenly, both Jonas and Teal'c speak up about past encounters with Daniel. SG-1 goes to Abydos where they meet up with Skaara, who brings them into an underground chamber, where they hope to find the Eye. Skaara also tells Jack that he has a fiancée. In the meantime, Anubis' mothership appears out of hyperspace and several ships fly to the pyramid, which is protected by Teal'c and numerous inhabitants of the planet. The ships and ground troops attack and Teal'c informs Jack, who, by this time, is irked by Daniel’s ignorance, calls for Daniel, who appears. Although Daniel is at first hesitant to help, he spills what he knows, while Jack and Skaara fight off a relentless attack above. In the chamber, Daniel, Major Carter , and Jonas try to find the Eye and succeed in finding a secret chamber, full of artifacts, but not the Eye. In the pyramid, Skaara is mortally wounded while Jack and Teal’c fight valiantly to hold their ground. They are finally forced retreat to the underground chamber where Daniel concludes that the other ascended beings are Ancients . They discover a tablet, written in the language of the Ancients, which reveals information about a lost city of the Ancients. Daniel instructs Jonas to guard it with his life, then departs.

Carter and Jonas find another secret chamber, which Sam shoots open, revealing the Eye. Jack and Teal'c, with Skaara, appear, bedraggled from the Jaffa onslaught. Their leader, Herak, confronts SG-1, demanding the Eye. Jack simply threatens to destroy the Eye. Herak returns to the ship and informs Anubis. As Herak departs, Daniel confronts Anubis, who reveals what he truly is, a partially ascended being. In space, a fleet of Ha'tak appears and Yu contacts Anubis, threatening to destroy him. Daniel, on the other hand, offers Anubis a deal: he will bring him the Eye if Anubis promises to leave Abydos unharmed forever. The Goa’uld agrees. Daniel goes to SG-1, where he surprisingly hears that Skaara has died and ascended, realizing that Oma must be present. He advises the team of Anubis partially ascended state: stuck between the mortal world and the ascended one. He also informs them about his deal with Anubis because he wants SG-1 to find the lost city of the Ancients before Anubis can.

O'Neill surrenders the Eye to Herak and the Jaffa leave. On the ship, Herak gives Anubis the Eye, who then powers up a large weapon. It fires on Yu’s ships and destroys many of them. The few left retreat, unable to penetrate Anubis' shields. He plans to destroy Abydos but Daniel appears and attempts to use his ascended powers to destroy Anubis. However, his attack is cut short and he is spirited away. Anubis, rid of the last obstacle in his way, fires the weapon at the pyramid on Abydos, where Jack is barely able to escape through the Stargate .

Back at SGC, they are unable to contact Abydos and brief General Hammond about the situation. Several attempts later, the Stargate finally establishes a wormhole to Abydos. So SG-1 goes through the gate, only to meet up with Skaara and his people. He tells them that Oma helped all the people on the planet ascend and the people present and the Stargate are only an illusion. Skaara sadly informs them that he has not heard anything about Daniel’s fate. Suddenly, all the people disappear and SG-1 returns to Earth.
