Davis)--but the bands won't come off. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Quantum Mirror, introduced in the first-season Stargate SG-1 installment "There But for the Grace of God", is brought into play in this episode. The mirror leads to an alternate-reality Earth, in which deceased Stargate Command officer Major Kawalsky (Jay Avocone) still lives and SG-1's Captain Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) is a Major. When the "other" Earth faces invasion from Goa'uld, SG-1 races to the rescue. But because of the peculiarities which separate the two worlds, only one of the Samantha Carters has a chance for survival. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The SG-1 team heads to Nasya, there to rescue survivors of the recent Goa'uld attack. In the course of this mission, the body of team member Samantha Carter (Amanda Tapping) is taken over by a Goa'uld--and the only one who realizes that this has happened is another former Goa'uld "host", a little girl named Cassandra (Katie Stuart, repeating her role from the first-season episode "Singularity"). But things are not as dark as they seem: Carter's possessor turns out to be Jolinar of Malkshur, who claims to head a resistance movement against the Goa'uld System Lords. Even so, there is trouble ahead for Carter in the form of the Ashrak (Peter Lacroix), an assassin forsworn to kill Jolinar. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

SG-1 arrives at the primitive planet Tolla, where a volcanic eruption is destroying everything. The team manages to rescue a few surprisingly advanced humans, led by Omoc (Tobin Bell)--who are far from grateful. The Tollan Narim (Garwin Sanford) explains why the refugees are suspicious of SG-1's motives: Years earlier, Omoc's father had shared the Tollan technology with earth--resulting in a devastating war which stripped the planet of its civilization and left the surviving Tollans in a state of enslavement. As O'Neill (Richard Dean Anderson) tries to convince Omoc that the people of Earth have mended their ways, he is undermined by certain hawkish Pentagon officials, determined to wreak more havoc upon the hapless Tollans. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

It falls to this tiny but intrepid group to thwart Hathor and save Mankind. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
