Storyline

Morgan LeFey of Arthurian legend is an Ascended Ancient. While Daniel, Vala, and Dr. Weir (in Atlantis) search for information about Merlin’s weapon which allegedly can destroy an Ascended Being, LeFey decides to break the rules and interfere with the lower planes of existence because she knows of the dire threat the Ori pose.

At first, she disguises herself as part of a holographic computer interface which Daniel and Vala are using to find the location of Merlin’s weapon. LeFey then shows her true self, an Ascended from the Lantian race.

From the days of old, LeFey was thought to be Merlin’s rival and Daniel questions her motives. She reveals that Merlin was Moros (Lantian Councilman) and Myrddin (Merlin) both and that for some time they had been rivals, but after many thousands of years, things changed.

LeFey tells of the Lantians’ inability to live among the primitive societies that Earth offered when they left Atlantis 10,000 years ago. Some of them chose to join the societies, thus spreading their genetic make-up into the populace, while others lived in seclusion and meditation.

Eventually Merlin and LeFey ascended. After a few thousand years, Merlin decided to retake human form in order to create the weapon. He attempted to hide his work through the use of the Interdimensional Device, but he was discovered. LeFey was the one sent to watch him.

Merlin kept his ascended knowledge and powers of the advanced humans. He was one of the most powerful beings on the planet at the time. He helped Arthur and built Camelot.

As LeFey tells her story, Daniel grows suspicious of her motives.

In the meantime, Mitchell, Carter, and Teal’c are working with the crew of the Odyssey to undertake a daring plan to cloak the Ori’s Stargate.

Production Notes

  • "Tomorrow, it's episode #3, Brad's Daniel story, that sees the occasionally-bespectacled one travel far, far away." — Joseph Mallozzi in his GateWorld Blog, November 21.
  • "As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, the occasionally bespectacled one takes a trip far, far away in episode 3. Brad will be doing the honors on this one. Very interesting. There was plenty of heated debate in the writers' room while we were breaking this one." — Joseph Mallozzi, November 28 Blog.
  • "Brad is working on a story in which Daniel, finally, gets to go to Atlantis. So far, we have no Carter crossovers planned." — Joseph Mallozzi, GateWorld Q&A, December 20. (It was confirmed that Daniel's trip to Atlantis is to be in this episode by Joseph Mallozzi on SG1Solutions, December 21.)
  • This story has "major story arc implications" and caused "heated debate in the writers' room", the reason being: "That you'll have to wait and see although, at the time we were discussing it, it was intended to serve as the launch for a significant, potentially very controversial story arc for one of the characters." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions, December 22. This may or may not be related to the "controversial story arc" for Daniel which might mean his becoming a darker character, as has been alluded to by Mallozzi in the past and about which he has stated on SG1Solutions, "I've been sworn to secrecy on this one."
  • The "potentially controversial story arc" for Daniel which had been identified with this episode was tabled, but Mallozzi said, "We'll probably get resume discussing "the arc" in the coming weeks." (SG1Solutions, January 20)
  • "Haven't read the script, but the plan is for him [Daniel] to come back at episode's end." — Joseph Mallozzi, SG1Solutions, January 20.

Note that all spoilers are subject to change before the finished episode is produced.
