In the Line of Duty

02.02 Episode 24 (#8902)
Airdate: July 3, 1998

The planet Nasya is under Goa'uld attack, and SG-1 is on a rescue mission. During the rescue, Carter's body is taken over by a Goa'uld symbiote, and when the team realizes what has happened, Carter is confined to a cell while O'Neill must bargain for Carter's life. The Goa'uld is Jolinar of Malkshur, one of the Tok'ra, a resistance group opposed to the System Lords. But Jolinar is also the target of the Ashrak, a skilled Goa'uld assassin. The Ashrak nearly succeeds in his mission, and Jolinar, too weak to heal itself, gives up its life to save Carter's.

NOTES OF INTEREST

  • Three new SG teams have been added: SG-10, SG-11, SG-12.
  • Dr. Fraiser's first name is Janet.
  • The Nasyans are peaceful, and were anxious to aid in forming an SGC research outpost.
  • The Goa'uld had not interfered on Nasya for over 300 years when they were suddenly attacked without warning by a mothership searching for Jolinar.
  • SGC rescued 237 Nasyans and treated them at the SGC infirmary and the Air Force Academy Hospital, awaiting relocation.
  • Cassandra still has traces of naquadah in her blood that may enable her to sense a Goa'uld.
  • It is possible, though difficult, for a Goa'uld to leave a host to seek another without killing it.
  • The Tok'ra, known in forbidden Jaffa legend, are an alliance of Goa'uld resistance who oppose the System Lords. They take human hosts who are about to die and who choose to coexist in a truly symbiotic relationship.
  • Jolinar of Malkshur once tried to overthrow a System Lord but was defeated when Apophis joined the battle, and escaped during the slaughter of his armies.
  • Jolinar says it knows where Sha're is.
  • The Ashrak, or "Hunter", is an assassin of the highest rank, trained in the ways of the Goa'uld, who carries out the orders of the System Lords, by the power of the harakash.
