            SG-1 goes to a planet to observe a singularity (black hole). SG-7 and the entire population of the planet, minus one girl, are discovered dead. The girl has Naquadah (the base element of the Stargate) in her blood. O'Neill and Teal'c remain on the planet to observe the singularity while Carter, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Fraiser take Cassandra (Katie Stuart) back to Earth. Cassandra is not infected with the disease that killed her people. Carter, Dr. Jackson and Dr. Fraiser discover that Cassandra has a bomb in her chest. In the Telescope, O'Neill and Teal'c see a Goa'uld attack ship from the Goa'uld Nurti. On their way back to the Stargate, they are attacked by two Death Gliders. Cassandra is taken to an abandoned nuclear complex before the bomb goes off. She is put to sleep but wakes up before Carter can leave her. Cater decides not to leave Cassandra. The bomb does not explode. The bomb inside Cassandra is reabsorbed into her body. Dr. Fraiser takes Cassandra into her home and later adopts her. à Plot Outline by Chad C.
