# "We also have an idea for the end of Atlantis [Season One]. Right now, for the whole season, we're cut off. But we're going to make it home at least once at the end of the season, or connect with people from Earth at least once, to touch base, to provide the opportunity for the Stargate universe to occasionally cross over. After this season it will become much more possible for any one of the SG team members to appear." (Executive producer Brad Wright, in an interview with the Richard Dean Anderson Web Site)
# The Atlantis base has successfully made contact with Earth, and a Z.P.M. power source discovered in Egypt allows Stargate Command to establish a wormhole to the Pegasus Galaxy. And it's just in the nick of time, as three Wraith hive ships are approaching the vulnerable city of the Ancients.
The Atlantis team sends the S.G.C. detailed specs on the city and the hive ships, and General Hammond orders military inforcements to go through the gate to support the defense of the city. They are led by Colonel Matthew Everett, a 40-year-old Marine who carries a commanding presence along with orders from Hammond that he assume command of Atlantis -- much to the surprise of Dr. Weir and her team.
Colonel Everett orders Weir to deactivate the self-destruct mechanism that is now counting down to prevent the city from falling into Wraith hands. Her expedition personnel, who have since relocated to a Pegasus Alpha Site, are recalled. Major Sheppard is pessimistic that they can do anything to stop the hive ships, but Everett's plan is bold: Earth's new battle cruiser, the Daedalus, is en route. With the Z.P.M. boosting the ships engines, it should arrive within four days.
Dr. Weir, meanwhile, defies Everett's orders and takes matters into her own hands to defend the base and her people.
Note: Most of the events described above appear to take place in Part 2 of the episode. It is not known if Colonel Everett will appear in Part 1. (GateWorld news report)
# Guest characters for this episode include Colonel Matthew Everett (who may be a recurring character on the series), Major Ferrell, and Captain Radner (two Marines under Everett's command). The episode will also see the return of David Nykl as Dr. Zelenka.
