- Fallen into the Wraith trap, McKay initially resigns to fatal captivity in a cocoon, but Ronon keeps struggling to attempt escaping, or at least taking some Wraith down with them. Sheppard managed to hide his glider on the very hive ship, seeking a way out, surprised to get radio contact with Michael, who seeks revenge after the ingrate queen has him semi-restrained as 'too human' suspect. While they try to sabotage the hive and maybe escape, the Daedalus and Orion race just in time to fight the two hive ships before they may attack earth. Weir is summoned to SGC for a pointless grilling by the International Oversight Advisory, finding them bureaucrats unable to risk a decision beyond questioning what was already done. So she returns, never mind the career risk compared to a Wraith culling. Sheppard manages to reach the Daedalus and his party comes up with a daring plan to overpower the hive with the weaponized retrovirus, despite bombarded damage compromising even their life-support systems.—KGF Vissers
- On board the Wraith hive ship, Ronon Dex and Rodney McKay are taken prisoner after the Wraith reveal their true plot: to learn the location of Earth and use it as a feeding ground. Both Wraith ships manage to jump into hyperspace before the Daedalus or the Orion can inflict much damage. Sheppard however has found a way to travel along with them. When they come out of hyperspace, the battle begins. Elizabeth Weir is ordered to return to Stargate Command headquarters on Earth to be questioned by the International Oversight Advisory about her handling of the dealings with the Wraith and particularly her decision to form an alliance with them. Elizabeth concludes that her days as leader of the Atlantis expedition are numbered.—garykmcd
- The team desperately attempts to stop two Wraith hive ships from reaching Earth. Sheppard must rely on an old foe to rescue McKay and Ronon.
