Chad's Summary: On an alien planet, SG-1 discovers an unconscious female android and brings her back to Earth for study. Carter and Fraiser determine a way to charge the android with energy and awaken the mechanism. The android, named Reese (Danielle Nicolet), is powered up. The team finds out that Reese has a child-like mentality. Back on the alien world, O'Neill and Teal'c discover Replicator parts and return to Earth with the parts in hand. On Carter's suggestion, Jackson tells Reese that she is an android. In anger, Reese throws Jackson into a bookcase. After time in the infirmary, Jackson discovers a disturbing fact -- Reese can and did create and control the Replicators. The Replicator bugs were first constructed as toys for Reese's amusement. Reese constructs more Replicators after one is shot and destroyed by Teal'c. General Hammond orders that the android Reese be shut-down. Reese escapes and havoc ensues on the base. Reese attempts to leave the base through the Stargate with many Replicator bugs. Jackson tries to stop Reese by talking to her in hopes of getting Reese to shut herself down.  At the time, the tactic is unsuccessful. O'Neill and Teal'c attempt to rescue Jackson from Reese's grip while Hammond and Carter set the auto-destruct mechanism. Jackson tries to talk to Reese once again and this time his words are heard. However, O'Neill kills the android Reese, and the auto-destruct is aborted. O'Neill and Jackson have an argument regarding Reese.
