Outline (Episode)

The team is stunned when Dr. Carson Beckett turns up alive. Testing and interrogation help them realise that its actually a clone of Doctor Beckett made from his memories and DNA when Michael briefly held the real Doctor Beckett captive.

Michael had used the clone to discover the Hoffan virus and refine it and was keeping him alive with a special serum without which, the clone’s body starts to deteriorate.

Using information from the clone, the team captures one of Michael’s men who Doctor Keller recognizes as Nabel, the man she and Teyla encountered on New Athos.

After being promised protection in another galaxy, Nabel gives them the Stargate address of Michael’s base. At the base, Michael reveals that he plans to use Teyla’s baby to perfect his hybrids and has the Athosians held prisoner.

Teyla tries to convince Kanaan to help her escape, but fails when Michael returns.

As the team attacks the base to rescue Teyla, Michael kills his experiments and prepares to flee the planet again with Teyla.

The team rescues the Athosians and Beckett rescues a shocked Teyla.

However, when Michael shows up, he is able to prevent Beckett from shooting him and flees again in his ship with Teyla.

Due to Beckett’s condition, they are forced to put him into stasis until they can find a cure.
