Chad's Summary: SG-11 is two days overdue for their weekly check in with the SGC. After O'Neill is injured by a Trinium arrow, Carter is given temporary command of SG-1 and sent to find SG-11. SG-11's mission was to mine an ore called Trinium. SG-1 finds an Indian culture descendent from Salish from Earth. They find out that SG-11 is with the "spirits" (not dead). The "spirits" release what SG-1 believe to be SG-11. Carter talks to the village elders about using some of the key (Trinium). Tonane (Rodney A. Grant) travels to Earth to view alternate mining methods. Tonane decides not to let Earth mine for Trinium. However, Earth is planning to secretly mine for Trinium. SG-11 turns out to be the "spirits" worshiped by the Salish people. The "spirits" begin to make SGC personnel disappear. SG-1 begin to search the base for the "spirits." The "spirits" are searching for Tonane. Teal'c shoots Xe-ls (Alex Zahara) in the form of Dr. Warner. Tonane and Jackson hide in a storage closet before finding the rest of SG-1 in the infirmary with Xe-ls. Jackson tells T'akaya (Christina Cox) that Xe-ls is in the infirmary. The "spirits" heal Xe-ls. O'Neill convinces the "spirits" to bury their gate. SGC personnel reappear as the "spirits" and Tonane leave.
