Auf dem Weg zu einer Wissenschaftskonferenz löst das Team Alarm aus und wird von Wächtern gestoppt. Ein genialer Wissenschaftler hat einen Telepathiereif entwickelt mit dessen Hilfe jeder über Gedanken in Kontakt treten kann. Die Vorstellung einer gemeinsamen Gedankenwelt wird mit Zweifeln konfrontiert. Gus schafft es nun endlich mit einer Vertreterin des Stargate Command zu sprechen. Diese kehrt zum Stargate Command zurück, um dort zu erklären, dass Bonner unschuldig ist.
The gang find a mysterious ship emitting dangerous energy on an uninhabited planet. While Harrison and Seattle look for the owners the others break into the ship, much to Stacey's concern. Gus insists on using the ship to return to nearby Earth, unaware that it's actually a Tlak'khan trap - the ship takes them to Ga'Harn, the Tlak'khan homeworld. Da'kyll captures them all and holds them back from the Nax'kan Council by claiming Warrior Right of Capture. Hah'lak sends his own operative, Gal'korn, to free first Gus and then the rest of the SG team and they see through the deception. They get their vehicles and weapons and get to the nearest Stargate to make their escape.
La squadra Stargate "prende in prestito" una nave spaziale abbandonata su di un pianeta e decide con essa di dirigersi verso la Terra. Con grande sorpresa, Bonner e i suoi scoprono invece di essere atterrati su Ka'an, il pianeta natale dei loro più acerrimi nemici. Da'Kyll rivendica di fronte al Consiglio dei Tlak'khan la proprietà sui prigionieri.
