After arriving in the Ori’s galaxy (9.06 "Beachhead"), Vala was taken in by a kindly, crippled villager, Tomin. Tomin believes in the Ori but, as a result of his disability, is a second-class citizen in his own religion. He marries Vala, and Vala becomes mysteriously pregnant. Since they have not had relations, Vala suspects that the Ori had something to do with her pregnancy.


Part 1 of Season Nine's two-part cliffhanger.
One day, Tomin arrives home no longer limping, claiming a Prior cured him and that he can now be a soldier in the crusade against Earth. After his cure he is a more fanatic follower of Origin than ever.


"Provided Damian completes Ethon in the next week, and provided things fall into place, he'll be writing the episode in which "that character" returns. By the way, "that character" and "the much loved, sorely missed character" (of Ripple Effect) are, well, two different characters. Throw a third one into the mix...ah, its too complicated so I won't even go there." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi, Exec. Producer, Writer.
Vala is befriended by a barmaid, Denya, who appears to be a follower of the Ori but is in fact working to subvert them. The unseemly barkeep, Seevis, appears to be a true believer but is secretly a leader of an underground movement.

Under cover of being suspicious of Vala, he tortures her by thirst to see if she might admit to her true beliefs. Finally Tomin releases her, and she meets with Denya and Seevis and learns their true intentions — to blow up ten Ori ships that will soon be in orbit with tens of thousands of would-be soldiers aboard.


"And, for all of you asking out there, Robert Cooper is writing the script in which "that character" returns. Expect a big surprise - unless you've taken to reading some of the spoilers out there." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 12.  
Vala believes the plan may work, and at this point, working with Seevis and Denya, she finds the Ancient communication terminal and uses it to contact the SGC, through Daniel’s body.


"Rob is working on Crusade, which will see the return of THAT CHARACTER with a major relevation (which I won't reveal at the moment so you'll just have to wait for the SciFi promo). Rob will not only be writing and producing, but directing the episode as well. I've already told him I expect nothing less than the greatest episode of Stargate SG-1 EVER! Anything less will be a disappointment. No pressure." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, August 23.

"THAT CHARACTER" is most likely Vala Mal Doran (played by Claudia Black), based on various sources (including Michael Shanks and Matt Roush).

Episode Spoilers

After arriving in the Ori’s galaxy (9.06 "Beachhead"), Vala was taken in by a kindly, crippled villager, Tomin. Tomin believes in the Ori but, as a result of his disability, is a second-class citizen in his own religion. He marries Vala, and Vala becomes mysteriously pregnant. Since they have not had relations, Vala suspects that the Ori had something to do with her pregnancy.

One day, Tomin arrives home no longer limping, claiming a Prior cured him and that he can now be a soldier in the crusade against Earth. After his cure he is a more fanatic follower of Origin than ever.

Vala is befriended by a barmaid, Denya, who appears to be a follower of the Ori but is in fact working to subvert them. The unseemly barkeep, Seevis, appears to be a true believer but is secretly a leader of an underground movement. Their goal is to sabotage the Ori plans to launch their ships and troops to fight in the name of the Ori. Under cover of being suspicious of Vala, he tortures her by thirst to see if she might admit to her true beliefs. Finally Tomin releases her, and she meets with Denya and Seevis and learns their true intentions — to blow up ten Ori ships that will soon be in orbit with tens of thousands of would-be soldiers aboard.

Vala believes the plan may work, and at this point, working with Seevis and Denya, she finds the Ancient communication terminal and uses it to contact the SGC, through Daniel’s body.
