Sheppard's patrol is unpleasantly surprised that the next bucolic planet they visit adores none other as 'hero savior' then Lucius Lavin, the former pheromone-manipulator they exposed and got banished. He now has a real personal protection shield, controlled by a button-pin, which enabled them to earn great gratitude by fighting off rogue raiders. Getting a demonstration doesn't convince John, who pretends to return to Atlantis but finds out in hiding the assailants are banished Genii rebels whom he pays, but less then agreed, so they call Kolya, who arrives to hunt down John, while the naive locals still refuse to believe Lucius is the bad guy. Sheppard must hide and save everyone from the Genii, hence instructs Lucius to help lure them away, yet rewards them even worse then the rogues.
