Outline (Episode)

At a request from Col Carter, Teal’c makes a journey to Atlantis to help out Ronon, who is up for review by the I.O.A.

However, the two men experience great tension and Ronon refuses to listen to Teal’c’s advice.

As they prepare to depart from the Midway Station for Earth, the Wraith manage to capture the station and send through a strike force to Earth with Teal’c and Ronon following.

Atlantis learns of this and sends a team to retake Midway. They succeed, but the incompetence of Doctor Peter Kavanaugh results in the station’s self-destruct being activated.

Unable to stop it, the surviving members of the Midway crew flee in an emergency Puddle Jumper as the station is destroyed.

On Earth, Ronon and Teal’c manage to eliminate the Wraith who invaded Stargate Command and bond over the experience. With Teal’c’s help, Ronon passes his review and returns to Atlantis aboard the Daedalus.

A couple of weeks after the destruction of Midway, the Daedalus locates and rescues the survivors who are relieved to hear that Earth was saved.
