They arrive to tell him that they have been unsuccessful in finding Sha're, only to discover that she is already on Abydos. But they find that she is pregnant by Apophis and the baby holds the secrets of the Goa'uld.

Trivia

The establishing scene of Carter and O'Neill in D.C. shows them on steps passing a bronze bird. That statue is the "Bird of Spring" at UBC Robson Square in Vancouver.

Goofs

Although the Air Medal is an honor and a distinguished award, it is awarded for duty while in aerial flight and it is nowhere close enough in order of precedence to have the recipients flown to D.C. and awarded by the President. Up until this episode, both O'Neill and Carter could easily be up for the AF Cross or Defense Distinguished Service Medal. The minimum award might be the Distinguished Flying Cross. "The Air Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the armed forces of the United States, shall have distinguished himself by meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight. Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or heroism or for meritorious service."

The Baby and the Accident

Daniel informs the SG-1 that he must return to Abydos to tell to Sha're's father that he has not found her yet; otherwise the Stargate will be buried forever. Teal'c goes with him while Jack and Sam go to Washington to be decorated by the President. On the arrival, Daniel and Teal'c learn that Sha're is pregnant by Apophis and will deliver her baby in Abydos. Further, her Goa'uld is asleep to protect the baby, so Daniel is able to rekindle his love. Meanwhile Jack discovers that the secret about the Stargate has leaked to a snoopy reporter Armin Selig that blackmails him seeking confirmation.

"Secrets" is divided in two episodes, none of them engaging. Sha're and Daniel have no chemistry and life will go on to Daniel on the next episodes. The assassination of the reporter gives a different connotation to the sci-fi series. My vote is seven.
