Chad's Summary: Using Bra'tac's Iris Deactivation Code (IDC) Sho'nac (Musetta Vander) arrives at the SGC. She requests to be taken to the Tok'Ra in order that her, now adult, Goa'uld can blend with a Tok'Ra host to give the Tok'Ra the knowledge of the Goa'uld. Sho'nac--is a close friend of Teal'c's--claims that the information gained from such a blending will destroy the Goa'uld. General Hammond, Dr. Fraiser, and the members of SG-1 do not believe her. Sho'nac doubles over in pain, and an adult Goa'uld rears its' ugly head. Under the watchful eye of his team members, Teal'c enters a deep state of Kelnoreen to communicate with his symbiote and prove whether or not Sho'nac is telling the truth. Through his symbiote, Teal'c witnesses the death of his father at the hands of Cronus. Freya/Anise comes to Earth with hopes that Sho'nac's ability proves true. SG-1, Sho'nac, and Freya/Anise gate to Vorash--the planet on which the Tok'Ra base is located. The symbiote will get a host, and Sho'nac will get a new symbiote. Sho'nac's Goa'uld enters Hebron (Peter Wingfield) through his neck. The Goa'uld's name is Tanith (also played by Peter Wingfield). Sho'nac is given a new Goa'uld larva. SG-1 return to Earth for a debriefing. Tanith kills Sho'nac proving that he is truly evil. Teal'c plans to leave the service of the SGC to assist Sho'nac in her efforts to communicate with Goa'uld larva. However, Freya/Anise returns to Earth with Sho'nac's body. Teal'c realizes that Tanith killed Sho'nac. He and O'Neill return to Vorash. They both realize that the Tok'Ra know about Tanith's subterfuge. O'Neill and Teal'c are convinced to allow Tanith's subterfuge to continue in order that the Tok'Ra may use Tanith's knowledge against the Goa'uld to further the cause of the Tok'Ra. After a brief conversation between Teal'c and Tanith in which Teal'c expertly hides his inner turmoil over Sho'nac's death, Teal'c and O'Neill return to Earth.
