The war against the Ori takes a particularly tragic turn when Se'tak, the new leader of the Jaffa Council, unleashes the deadly Ancient device on Dakara against a world that has just converted to Origin. Every living being on the target planet is killed instantly, thousands of innocent civilians and Ori soldiers alike. Shocked by this tactic, Gen. Landry and Bra'tac journey to Dakara to condemn the unjustifiable attack.
SG-1 and Vala, meanwhile, explore a deserted Ori warship that was left behind on the stricken planet. Unfortunately, they're not alone: a team of Jaffa warriors has also sneaked on board. The Jaffa believe that the powerful warship rightfully belongs to them, and they're prepared to defend their claim by force. In short order, they capture Mitchell, Teal'c, Daniel and Vala, leaving only Carter at liberty. But there's someone else on board as well: Adria, Vala's daughter and the leader of the Ori crusade.
Her special powers have allowed her to escape the Ancient weapon's blast. Now, with those same powers, she knocks out the Jaffa guarding Daniel and Vala and greets her surprised mother. She's expecting an Origin fleet to arrive soon, after which she's looking forward to spending long hours converting Vala to the one true faith. In the meantime, she attempts to probe Daniel's mind for information about the weapon that so effectively destroyed her troops. With great effort, he resists her, but his good work is undone when she turns her attention to a Jaffa guard, who reveals that the weapon is on Dakara.
Carter rescues Mitchell and Teal'c from the Jaffa guarding them. Before the three can similarly save Daniel and Vala, however, the warship takes off and jumps into hyperspace. Adria has decided to pay a lethal little visit to Dakara, and nothing Daniel or Vala can say will change her mind. Thus, as a grim last resort, Mitchell and Teal'c prepare to blow up the ship rather than let it score another victory for the Ori.
On Dakara, Landry and Bra'tac are getting nowhere in their efforts to make Se'tak see reason. When the massive Ori ship appears in orbit, Se'tak leaps to the paranoid conclusion that Landry's people have stolen it in order to take the Ancient weapon for themselves. The critical Earth-Jaffa alliance is about to implode violently. And if that's the worst thing that happens today, Landry and SG-1 can count themselves lucky.
