Cameron Mitchell and Samantha Carter are shifted to another dimension, and wander Stargate Command invisible and unable to interact with others. Mitchell grows frustrated that he can do nothing -- including eating. But Daniel, who has experienced this himself before ("Crystal Skull"), suspects what has happened to them -- and looks for a way for Carter and Mitchell to communicate with them.
Meanwhile, Teal'c leads Major Hadden and SG-9 to the homeworld of the Sodan, a group of legendary Jaffa with whom SG-1 made contact earlier this year (the upcoming episode "Babylon"). The Sodan use an advanced transporter system, which apparently allows them teleport all over the planet rather than living near the Stargate -- one of the ways they have stayed hidden from outsiders for centuries.
Teal'c and SG-9 are able to use the transporters to seek out the Sodan, thanks to Colonel Mitchell, who previously acquired the codes required to use the teleportation network after winning the trust of the Sodan. They soon discover that the Sodan have been savagely attacked; there are Jaffa bodies strewn everywhere, and the village has been burned to the ground.
Among the bodies they find Lord Haikon (Tony Todd), leader of the Sodan people. He is still alive but near death, since their attacker targetted and killed their larval Goa'uld symbiotes. Haikon's symbiote is dead, and Major Haddon hopes they can get him on tretonin in time to save his life.
Later the transporter system is damaged, leaving Teal'c and SG-9 several months' journey away from the Stargate on foot. Hoping for a rescue from Stargate Command after they fail to check in, Teal'c sets out to track the one person they have learned was responsible for massacring the Sodan: Volnek, one of the Sodan's own warriors (first encountered in "Babylon"). Teal'c uses a Sodan personal cloaking device -- which makes them invisible to everyone but each other -- to try and find him.
When he learns of the attack on the Sodan by the treacherous Volnek, Colonel Mitchell himself decides to use his new invisibility -- and invincibility -- to hunt him down.

Episode Notes -  |
Allusions:
Michell: Why am I getting that "Patrick Swaze in Ghost feeling?". General, we need a Whoopi!
This is a reference to the 1990 movie Ghost starring Patrick Swaze, Demi Moore, and Whoopi Goldberg. In it a man dies and no one can see or hear him, except for Whoopi Goldberg's character, a spiritual medium.
Title:
According to Arthurian legends, Arthur's mantle, or cloak, gave the wearer invisibility while he could see everyone around him. Arthur's mantle is one of the Thirteen Treasures of the Island of Britain which "reveal a preoccupation with worthiness of the person finding or using them: they will not work for the unworthy. This is a clear indication of their function in the king's relationship with Sovereignty: they cannot be found or wielded by any save the rightful king or champion of the king. Merlin was supposed to have procured these from their owners and taken them to his abode of glass on Bardsey Island."
Quotes:
Mitchell: Roast beef. The one time I can’t eat, and they Serve. Roast. Beef.
Mitchell: No one can see or hear us. We can’t touch anything, ergo, no eating, no drinking, and I’m not even going to speculate on the other bodily functions.
Mitchell: No risk – I’m out of phase, remember?
Teal’c: And you are certain you will not be injured.
Mitchell: Absolutely. Hey, take your best shot if you don’t…
(Teal’c swings through his head)
Teal’c: Good luck, Colonel Mitchell.
Mitchell: Hey, did you even think twice about that?
Teal’c: I did not.
Mitchell: You know, the whole point of my coming here was for me to rescue you.
Teal’c: You are most welcome, Colonel Mitchell.
(after Daniel walks through Sam and Mitchell)
Sam: The dimension we're occupying must be different from the one he was shifted to.
Mitchell: Alternate alternate dimensions?
Sam: Something like that, yeah.
Sam: Now, these higher dimensions...
Mitchell: No, I take your word for it. That was alternate reality, this is alternate dimension. Hell, all I need is a good time travel adventure, and I've scored the SG-1 trifecta.
Dr. Lee: Okay, umm, I'm going to try to make an adjustment to the algorithm...it's a bit of a longshot...
Landry: You better be sure about this, doctor, because if you make me disappear, there won't be a dimension safe enough for you!
Dr Lee: This leads us to the conclusion that they disappeared without leaving the room.
Landry: How is that possible?
Dr Lee: (looking very thoughtful and confident): Miniaturization. Don't panic, I have calculated the distance they can possibly travel on tiny legs, designated by this roped-off area. All we have to do is find them.
Mitchell: Why am I getting that "Patrick Swayze in Ghost feeling". (unheard by Landry) General! we need a Whoopi! |
