Chad's Summary: A small radio controlled airplane crashes on an alien world. SG-1 must retrieve the plane in order for Carter to figure out why it crashed into a native plant. Carter collects a sample of a green liquid from a wound in the plant. SG-1 encounter the native population who are covered in a strange white paint. Jackson tries to communicate with them by mimicking an airplane in flight. One of the aliens brings the plane to SG-1. Daniel sneezes for the third time since arriving on the planet. The alien falls to the ground. The other aliens sing thinking it will heal the sick alien, but the singing does not help. Dr. Fraiser gates to the planet. Fourteen aliens are sick. SG-1 is excluded from being the source of the illness. To run some tests, Dr. Fraiser and Carter take one of the aliens back to Earth with them. O'Neill and Teal'c travel to other villages to find out if other aliens are ill. Jackson observes a plant grow and shrink very quickly. Dr. Fraiser's tests reveal, the alien has a very un-human-like organ in his body. O'Neill and Teal'c discover that many aliens are ill. O'Neill and Jackson get into an argument which causes an alien to pass out. They are ill with headaches. Teal'c stays behind, while O'Neill and Jackson return to Earth. After returning home, they start to feel better. Meanwhile, the alien is dying. He is later stabilized. Teal'c observes many plants grow and shrink. Upon further investigation, Teal'c becomes ill. While watching a video tape, brought back from the planet, Jackson begins to get ill again. The tape is analyzed, and Dr. Fraiser realizes that an inaudible sound is making SG-1 sick. The crash altered the natural sound the plant makes, thereby, making the aliens sick. The plants and the natives have a symbiosis with one another. SG-1 brings a machine to the planet to correct the problem. They observe the aliens and the plants in natural harmony.
