PLOT None know where Ba'al is, but all know one thing: the Jaffa are free after millennia of slavery under false Gods. Teal'c and Bra'tac are knighted Bloodkin by the new Free Jaffa Nation , the highest honour that can be bestowed on a Jaffa, at the Temple of Dakara. When the Jaffa bow to them in respect, Bra'tac makes them stand, for no Jaffa shall ever bow before another person who is not a God. With the Replicators destroyed and the Goa'uld defeated, the SGC is a little peaceful. Somewhere out there, Anubis remains, but they can ignore that for now. However, perhaps too peaceful, for Daniel Jackson is missing. O'Neill refuses to accept that Daniel is dead, not wanting to be "tricked" as last time, when Daniel managed to Ascend and then come back to life much later. However, they all know that Daniel was on RepliCarter 's ship when it was destroyed, which gives him zero chance of being alive. And as we know from the previous episode, Daniel was indeed killed. However, the visions of Oma Desala which RepliCarter forged for Daniel may not have been as empty as they seemed - for Daniel finds himself in a strange ethereal diner, a cafe, full of people, where the waitress is Oma Desala . This place seems to be some kind of strange Ascended metaphor. Daniel seats himself and talks to Oma. She explains that she has once again given him the choice to Ascend and live, or die. If he Ascends, he must accept that he can never help his friends again (as that's against the rules). It is a difficult choice for Daniel. He knows that last time he couldn't resist breaking the rules. The diner is full of other Ascended Ancients , none of whom will talk to Daniel because that's below them. One other man, however, a large, fat man, seems to be arguing with Oma. Daniel talks to this man, who talks back. The man seems some kind of rebel who doesn't take too much notice of the pedantic rules of ''the others''. The man is reading a newspaper called ''The Ascended Times'' which details happenings in the mortal world. It describes that Anubis is tricking the new Free Jaffa Nation so that he can take back Dakara. If Anubis captures Dakara, the whole galaxy could be destroyed, as Anubis wishes to use the Dakara Superweapon to kill all life in the galaxy. Daniel knows that he must help his friends out before it’s too late, but can't work out how he can do it. He screams at ''the others'', but they do not even turn. The Free Jaffa Nation attacks a decoy of Kull Warriors and weakens its hold on Dakara. Against warnings, they do not destroy the Dakara Superweapon. Now Anubis attacks Dakara and takes it back. It is now only a small matter of time before he destroys the entire galaxy. In the meantime, things are too much for Sam. Her father, Jacob Carter , and Selmak die, and she ends her relationship with Pete after the things her father said about how she could still be happy. He was obviously referring to Jack. Back in the Ascended Diner, Oma explains that she has got in trouble before for helping people like Daniel Ascend, and she has been punished. There are deep-seated rules in the Ascended universe, that not even she would dare to break. There seems to be something sinister about Oma's connection with the fat man, whatever it is. At the last moment, Daniel works it out. Anubis is half-Ascended, and it was Oma that helped him Ascend. Anubis had tricked her into thinking he was not evil, and as a punishment for breaking the rules, ''the others'' didn't totally de-Ascend Anubis, but gave him his current power, the ability to destroy the galaxy and vent his evil. And the final piece of the puzzle clicks in place - the fat man in the diner ''is'' Anubis - Anubis' chosen manifested form in his half-protrusion into the Ascended realm. Back on Earth, the gate dials, and they can't stop it. Anubis has dialled every gate in the galaxy and prepares to unleash the superweapon. O'Neill, Teal'c and Carter can do nothing but wait for their fate. O'Neill begins the SGC's autodestruct sequence. It looks like it's the end. However, back in the Ascended realm, Daniel has persuaded Oma. She must take responsibility for the mistake she made which has caused Anubis to be able to unleash so much evil, and she will not allow him to commit this greatest evil now. She stands up to fight Anubis, and all of the other ancients turn in surprise. Anubis laughs, saying that she cannot possibly defeat him, both of them being equally matched. Oma knows this, but also knows that so long as she is fighting him then he'll have to fight back, taking him out of the cosmos and locking him into an eternal ethereal battle with her. The two of them collide and disappear in a flurry of light, locked in eternal combat. Anubis is gone from the universe forever. The Free Jaffa Nation is fighting the Kull Warrior s when suddenly they cease to move, as if their master was no longer there to tell them what to do. Anubis' forces are destroyed. Then two miracles occur. The Dakara Superweapon shuts down, and the autodestruct at the SGC freezes itself and shuts off. The Stargate's wormhole closes. It's over. Back in the briefing room, they can't understand what's happened. Anubis just disappeared. They wonder whether it was Daniel's work, thinking that he'd ascended again. But Jack won't fall for it, because he's still convinced that Daniel's alive, and is just waiting for them to believe he's dead before making his reappearance. Jack is so confident that he even says that Daniel's going to appear "right now." He doesn't. They all look dismal. Daniel must really be dead. At that moment, they hear his voice in the other room. Jack goes to inspect and finds him naked (as before). He gives him a flag to cover himself up. All is right after all. NOTES
