The Conclusion...

Chad's Summary: SG-1 is captured after they realize that, even if Klorel's ship is destroyed by a massive C--4 explosion, Apophis' ship will destroy Earth anyway. Lt. Col. Samuels has a plan to launch two Naquadah enhanced warheads at the Goa'uld attack ships. Apophis orders Bra'tac to kill SG-1 in retribution for the attack on Klorel. The SGC prepares to send people through the Stargate to the Alpha Site. Bra'tac disregards his orders and ring transports with SG-1 to Apophis' ship. The warheads are launched against the ships and impact against the shields with no effect. Samuels asks permission to join the teams going to the Alpha Site, but General Hammond denies his request. Jackson is wounded and left behind to die. He makes his way to a sarcophagus. SG-1 must disable the shield generator of Apophis' ship in order for both ships to be destroyed when Klorel's ship explodes. Bra'tac and SG-1 steal two Death Gliders to escape the ship. Dr. Jackson dials the Alpha Site. He then goes home. SG-1 and Bra'tac are rescued by the space shuttle Endeavor, and they are reunited with Dr. Jackson.
