- While Teyla and Ronon investigate the apparent death of Major Lorne, the Genii Ladon Radim contacts Atlantis. He wants to trade a ZPM for weapons supplies.
- Atlantis is shocked by the sudden death of Major Lorne and his team. They are found burned in a village where they escorted Dr. Lindsay, who in turn was educating the villagers on more effective agriculture and fishery. There seems to be no reason why they were killed. Teyla and Ronon start investigating. On Atlantis, the stargate activates unscheduled. They receive a message from Ladon Radim, a Genii who was part of Kolya's strike force that took over Atlantis. Ladon tells he has defected and is planning a revolt. He wants machine guns, grenades and C4 to make it work. In return he has a ZPM. According to Ladon, the Genii have finished their nuclear weapons and will be using them as an offensive weapon, and Cowen has become obsessed by uniting the galaxy under a single ruler.—Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
- Dr. Weir is approached by the Genii Ladon Radim with a proposal - if they will provide him with enough arms to stage a coup and depose Cowan, he will provide them with a ZPM. Radim claims that Cowan is bent on using their nuclear weapons to spread the Genii's control over a large area. She's somewhat leery of Radim's claims given that they have a peaceful truce with Cowan and decides to send Sheppard and McKay on a fact-finding mission. Meanwhile, Teyla and Ronan Dex investigate an elaborate hoax to make them believe that Maj. Lorne and his team were killed. It becomes all too apparent that the Genii are up to something, none of it good.—garykmcd
- Major Lorne's team is presumed burned to death in a village where they escorted Dr. Lindsay, who came to educate the rustics on more effective agriculture and fishery, but Becket finds the DNA of the remains doesn't match. Ronon and Teyla find the villagers afraid to talk, but get a lead- a trap, to be caged with Lorne's team. Meanwhile, Genii chief scientist Ladon Radim, disgraced as part of Kolya's strike force on took over Atlantis, offers Dr. Weir a ZPM in return for support to stage a coup against 'war-mad' commander Cowen. Apparently reversing her initial refusal, she lets Sheppard inform Cowen, who welcomes this alliance and sets a joint trap for Ladon on his rebel base planet, but that's a trap for Sheppard. Ladon, however, proves a triple agent, having appeased Atlantis and lured Cowen to prevent his plan for the Genii to rule the whole galaxy as an empire strong enough to defeat the Wraith.—KGF Vissers*
- After a team from Atlantis goes missing, the expedition finds itself in the middle of a Genii coup.
