Senator Kinsey has shut down the Stargate program. Even the President won't override his Senate committee. Knowing that the slaughter that took place in There But For the Grace of God could happen here, Daniel convinces his team members to violate orders, activate the Stargate and travel to the home of the Destroyers.

They soon discover they have gated not to a planet but to a Goa'uld mothership. It launches into hyperspace towards Earth after their arrival, cutting off escape and SG-2's intent to back them up ("...officially your job is to bring back SG-1 for court-martial").

Still hidden, they overhear Apophis unveil his son, Klorel (Skaara), the leader of this ship until Apophis rejoins them. O'Neill orders Carter and Daniel to plant C-4 all over the ship while he and Teal'c grab Klorel, in the hope that Skaara can fight the Goa'uld within him.

They capture Klorel but Skaara is able to assert control only briefly after one painful shot from a Zat gun (two shots kill). They surrender rather than kill Skaara. Apophis is pleased, and orders Teal'c's and O'Neill's immediate execution. (Skaara makes a typical Goa'uld mistake of overconfidence, declaring "I assure you, father. There could be no more.")

Skaara seemingly exerts some influence, as Klorel disobeys his father's orders and delays their execution, bringing them to the Pel'tak (bridge) to witness the destruction of Earth. Carter sets a timer on the bombs, and she and Daniel try to free their friends. Daniel does great until Klorel grabs him, knocks the gun out of his hands, and uses a hand device on him, intending to kill Daniel. O'Neill is forced to kill Klorel/Skaara.

However, they can see Earth and the Death Gliders are preparing for launch.
