Trivia:
There is a scene in which Kawalsky is given a medical scan with his head inside a large ring device - approximately 6ft x 6ft x 2ft. This device is a real medical tomographic device manufactured in the early 1990s in Knoxville TN, USA. This device is a PET (positron emission tomography) medical imaging device - likely a model 953. Note that Positron Emission Tomography actually employs anti-matter as a crucial part of the imaging process. Such equipment can actually show unusual biological activity in the body as a 3D volume image. At the same time the 3D medical images in the next scene showing the parasite wrapped around Kawalsky's neck vertebra are at least partly made-up computer animation. more

As the Goa'uld splatter against the protective iris installed inside the stargate, the SG-1 team faces several problems close to home.

Col. Jack O'Neill wants to add a new member to the team: Teal'c, an alien who risked his own skin to save O'Neill and his team on the other side of the stargate. But Gen. Hammond won't approve the appointment and O'Neill must watch as military intelligence treats Teal'c like a guinea pig.

To make matters worse, Kawalsky, O'Neill's right-hand man, has been having terrible headaches, which are caused by an alien larvae that has attached itself to his brain. What they don't realize is that this larvae is trying to take over Kawalsky's body in an attempt to go back through the stargate.

With guidance from Teal'c, the doctors operate to remove the alien … but did they get it in time? Or is Kawalsky still under alien control, ready to kill his former comrades when the order comes?
