When an incoming wormhole is established at the SGC, the iris is over-ridden and opened. A young boy appears and tells the SGC that they are in terrible danger from a group of terrorists.

Trivia

The device used to summon the Tok'ra is the same one used to summon the Nox in Stargate SG-1: Enigma (1998) and the viewers know that because when Martouf gave the device to Sam he told her it came from the Tollan. Also, when the device is projecting the beam, it is the same footage that was used in that episode.

Goofs

About 6 minutes, the little boy insists on speaking with Colonel O'Neill alone. After General Hammond orders the room cleared, except for Jack and the boy. However, a sentry stands guard by the wall in the room with them the entire time they speak, easily within hearing range.

Quotes

Captain Samantha Carter: Even though we can't see them, these Reetou can definitely see us.
Teal'c: Which puts us at a great strategic disadvantage. I understand why the Goa'uld want to eliminate them.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: They're Goa'uld, Teal'c. That's their job.

A New Enemy

The SGC is surprised by the activation of the Stargate and a bald boy warns that Earth is in danger. He asks to talk only to Jack, since his invisible Mother tells that he is reliable. He adopts Jack's son name, Charlie, and tells that he is from Reetalia where the inhabitants Reetou hate the Goual'd and want to defeat them. A group of rebels believes that if they destroy the earthlings, the Goual'd would lose probable hosts. Meanwhile, Dr. Fraiser discovers that Charlie is genetically engineered and he will die soon. The SGC summons the Tok'ra and they bring a weapon that can detect and destroy the Reetou. When they discover invisible Reetou rebels in the SGC, the battle begins.

"Show and Tell" is an episode of Stargate SG-1 where a new enemy is shown. However the story is weak and despite of the action, is boring. In addition, Charlie is a non-charismatic character. My vote is six.
