Original Air Date: 09/15/2006
Major Leonard’s team fails to check in with Atlantis while on a mission exploring an anomalous energy spike. Because the anomaly also makes radio transmission impossible Sheppard must assemble a team in search of the missing men. When the team arrives on the planet they’re shocked to find the bodies of several Genii soldiers who have apparently killed each other.
Following the energy readings in hope of finding Major Leonard and his men Rodney McKay leads the team into a cave to discover that the cause the anomalous energy spike is some sort of Wraith generator. Rodney’s investigation of the device is cut short when Teyla finds the all the missing team’s dead bodies except for Major Leonard who it appears to have killed them all. Realizing something isn’t right and in need of reinforcements the team takes the deceased back to the gate only to be ambushed by Major Leonard who has rigged the gate’s DHD to explode taking out three marines.
Trapped on the planet and with no way to send radio transmissions the team falls back to the cave in a hope to deactivate the wraith device. While McKay struggles to shut down the device and Carson Beckett attempts treat the critically wounded marines, Ronon takes off chasing what he believes are wraith in the forest. With Sheppard and Teyla in hot pursuit things quickly turn ugly as Ronon turns his fire on them and Sheppard is forced to return fire in defense. Before they realize it both are succumbing to hallucinations believing the other is the enemy.
