O'Neill and the SG-1 team are on a mission to Nasya, hoping to rescue the survivors of a planet that has been attacked by the Goa'uld. During the rescue, however, Dr. Samantha Carter's (Amanda Tapping) body is taken over by a Goa'uld that was hiding in the body of a mortally injured Nasyan. Her fellow team members don't notice the change, but when the team returns to Earth, Carter's young friend Cassandra (Katie Stuart) recognizes the Goa'uld immediately. Cassandra tells O'Neill that Carter is confined to a cell and O'Neill bargains with the Goa'uld for Carter's life. The Goa'uld tells Teal'c that he is Jolinar of Malkshur, one of the Tok-ra Goa'ulds, a rebel group opposed to the bloodthirsty ways of the system lord. But he also reveals that he has been followed here by Ashrak, an assassin trained in the ways of the Goa'uld. Unless the SG-1 team can stop him, Ashrak will kill Jolinar, taking Carter's life as well.

Over their protestations of innocence, the team is sent through a Stargate to Hadante, a penal world where brute strength and raw power rule. Strangely, the most powerful person on Hadante seems to be Linea (Bonnie Bartlett), a diminutive woman who strikes fear into brutes such as Vindoor with her mysterious powers. SG-1 strikes a deal with Linea: if she will help power the Stargate using her cold fusion power source, they will help her escape with them.

When she attempts suicide, Daniel saves her life, but in doing so, he and the rest of the team are captured and forced to work in the Naqadah mines. When Daniel is injured in an escape attempt, the princess brings him to the palace and nurses him back to health, using a Goa'uld sarcophagus. As O'Neill and the rest of the team work as slaves in the mine, Daniel attempts to negotiate their release. Princess Shyla explains to Daniel the secrets of the planet. She reveals how her father drove out the Goa'uld ruler, and now rules the planet with an iron hand, sending Naquadah through the gate in hopes of appeasing the Goa'uld. She explains the while Pyrus has lived for 700 years, thanks to the rejuvenating powers of the sarcophagus, he is now dying and she will succeed him.

While exploring a now-dead planet, O'Neill and the SG-1 team find an orb that sends out electromagnetic signals.

While it is brought to the Stargate, it shoots bolts through the concrete walls, floor and ceiling of the facility, including one that pierces O'Neill's shoulder. Further investigation reveals that the object is sending out alien organism that is infecting people, computers and the building itself. Attempts to destroy the orb only make it grow faster. As the computer screens go dark and the facilities self-destruct mechanism begins its countdown, Carter suggests they let the organism take over O'Neill's body in the hope the orb will use him to communicate with them.

The Tok'ra have turned down SG-1's request for an alliance against the Goa'uld because, as Garshaw explains, the earthlings don't offer enough rewards to justify a security breech. And the fact that none of the humans will act as host for Selmak, a Tok'ra whose host is dying does little to build trust. However, Samantha Carter has an idea. Her father, Gen. Jacob Carter is dying of cancer. If he will become a host, it will save both his life and that of Selmak. But when she and O'Neill return to the Stargate to propose the idea to her father, the Goa'uld, tipped off by a spy, launch an attack on the Tok'ra. The Tok'ra have enough warning to relocate, but by the time O'Neill, Carter and her father return, the attack is underway. The bonding of two beings as sick as Gen. Carter and Selmak would be difficult under the best of circumstances. With Goa'uld death gliders filling the sky, it requires even greater risk and urgency.
