Chad's Summary: SG-1 realize that a group of Jaffa (who turn out to be false Jaffa) are sending unrefined Naquadah through the Stargate. Jackson stops Shyla (Heather Hanson) from committing suicide. SG-1 is captured and sent to the mines to mine Naquadah. During an escape attempt, Jackson is injured and placed in a sarcophagus to heal. Shyla falls in love with Dr. Jackson. Jackson's continued use of the sarcophagus, even when he is healthy, makes SG-1 question his mental stability. SG-1 returns home and Jackson becomes irrational. He passes out, and Dr. Fraiser realizes he is going through withdrawal. Jackson attacks Dr. Fraiser and a guard. After a fight with O'Neill, Jackson breaks down. SG-1 returns to the planet. After some convincing by Jackson, Shyla destroys the sarcophagus with a staff weapon.
