MGM/SciFi.com Official Summary
Asgard leader Thor tells Colonel Jack O'Neill that the Goa'uld System Lords plan to attack Earth, and offers his help in negotiating a peace deal. Three System Lords attend the session: Yu, Nirrti, and Osiris—the lord responsible for killing Teal'c's father. The three initially agree to the Asgardian peace proposal on the condition that Earth gives up the Stargate. But when Teal'c and Osiris are discovered badly beaten, Teal'c is blamed and the two remaining lords vow to attack Earth as retribution. Despite Nirrti's claim that she tried the healing-hand technique on Osiris and it didn't work, Major Samantha Carter (who just prior to this mission was promoted from Captain) uses it and manages to save the lord. Realizing that Nirrti orchestrated the beating to seize power, Yu and Osiris turn their rage toward their former comrade, giving Earth a temporary reprieve.
