Major Carter is onboard the recently repaired Prometheus helping Colonel Ronson get the starship home via short sub-light bursts—jumping out of hyperspace every 50 light-years so that the sub-light engines can cool down.
Stargate Command gets a surprise visit from Jonas Quinn, a scientist and former SG-1 member from the planet once designated P9Y-4C3 and now dubbed Langara. But the circumstances of this reunion are not at all happy.
 
Jonas tells SG-1 and General Hammond that he and other scientists from Kelowna—one of three nations on his world—have been analyzing data left behind by Thanos, the Goa'uld marauder who occupied their planet 3,000 years ago. They've discovered that the fuel-source ore Naquadria, long thought to be native and unique to Langara, is not a natural element. That in itself isn't earthshaking news. But what follows is, literally: It turns out Thanos initiated a process that synthesized Naquadria from the less powerful but more stable element Naquadah while the ore was still in the ground. This started a chain reaction that even now continues to convert the planet's Naquadah deposits into Naquadria. And the conversion process now reaches so deeply into the planet that one particular, immense Naquadria deposit is priming to explode with enough force to obliterate Kelowna and throw the world into nuclear winter.
 
Major Carter goes to Kelowna with Jonas to help learn how the conversion process works so that they can find a way to stop it. There she meets Jonas' attractive assistant, Kianna Cyr.
 
Back at SGC, the three representatives of the joint ruling council of Langara arrive through the Stargate: Eremal, the representative from Tirania; Tarthus, the representative from the Andari Federation; and former Ambassador, now First Minister, Dreylock of Kelowna. They meet with Hammond, Colonel O'Neill, Dr. Daniel Jackson and Teal'c to discuss the partial relocation of their people to a world called Madronus, which is willing to accept many thousands of refugees.


At the current stop, Carter notices a gaseous anomaly; she requests Ronson investigate it. Just then a hostile alien ship appears. Outgunned, Carter suggests they use a short sub-light burst to make a hyperspace jump into the cloud for cover. As she's rerouting the systems, the ship suffers a massive hit, knocking Carter unconscious. When she awakes, she is the only crew-member left aboard; the escape pods have been jettisoned. The hyper-drive is intact but the sub-light engines are offline. What's more, the hull will breach in about eight hours.
Carter and Jonas return to SGC with alarming news. They've discovered the original deposit of Naquadria was created by a freak explosion in the Goa'uld lab where Thanos created the first sample thousand of years ago. This explosion created the first vein, which would have simply reverted back to Naquadah in another 10,000 years had the Kelownans not mined it. But then the Kelownans inadvertently accelerated and intensified the conversion process two years ago, when they tested the Naquadria bomb. In essence, the Kelownans are responsible for the possible destruction of the planet. The news sends the already troubled diplomatic talks into a frenzy.


As Carter uses every stopgap measure she can to save the ship, she has trouble staying awake. Teal'c then appears and tells her she must stay awake to stay alive. She also gets visits from Dr. Daniel Jackson, her father Jacob, Colonel O'Neill and a little girl named Grace—all of whom Carter surmises are part of her subconscious mind and all of whom have something important to tell her.
In Kelowna, Jonas, Kianna and Carter try to devise a way to stop Langara from exploding. Carter suggests setting off a large explosion along a fault line crossing the vein of Naquadah above the large deposit of Naquadria—isolating the advancing Naquadria and breaking it off before it gets any deeper. SGC can supply the nuclear charge—but how can they plant it within 20 kilometers of solid rock? Jonas then takes Carter to a secret hanger where he and his team have built the Deep Underground Excavation Vehicle, or DUEV. Originally intended to mine Naquadria, the DUEV just might do the trick.


Daniel suggests Carter use this opportunity to investigate the cloud. Teal'c warns her that she may not be on Prometheus at all, but being held prisoner, along with the other crew-members, aboard the alien ship, and that her mind is being probed. While she's searching for a way to get the sub-light engines online, the aliens could be learning from her how the ship's technology works. Jacob tells her to stop following every scientific lead and follow her heart, find someone to love and not deny herself a chance to be happy. Daniel comes up with a theory that the cloud is a sentient being and if she talks to it, maybe it'll let the ship go. But how to do that? Daniel then suggests that the little girl Carter keeps seeing may be the personification of the cloud.
The DUEV is not fast enough to reach the vein in time to prevent the explosion, so Jonas proposes the addition of Tok'ra tunnel crystals. The ship is almost ready to get underway when Carter makes a disturbing discovery: The excavator's primary power-distribution circuits are very similar to a Goa'uld design. And it was Kianna who designed them. Jonas is heartbroken, as he was clearly in love with Kianna—who now, it turns out, is a Goa'uld spy. A search of Kianna's quarters turns up a Goa'uld communicator and a supply of the drug she used to mask the presence of her symbiote and avoid detection. Kianna's Goa'uld symbiote then explains that she was dispatched by the system lord Ba'al to find out why fellow system lord Anubis was so interested in Kelowna.


O'Neill finally appears and encourages Carter not to give up and suggests that there may be a chance for them to be together. They even share a subconscious kiss.
The Goa'uld tells Carter and Jonas, correctly, that they will need her to pilot the difficult-to-handle excavator; she is willing to help because her race also wants to save the planet for its Naquadria. The mission proceeds with Teal'c along for security and the crew armed in case the Goa'uld tries anything. But in fact she saves the ship when a coolant seal breaks. Jonas still doesn't trust her, even though she tells him he had n ever actually worked with or loved the real Kianna. Jonas fell in love with a Goa'uld! And she confesses feelings for him, even though he is repulsed by her now.


At Stargate Command, O'Neill is worried that Carter is 18 hours past due for contact. Daniel proposes a plan to check out all the Stargates along the Prometheus' route, since the Tok'ra don't have an available ship. But the plan fails. Teal'c notices O'Neill's grief and suggests to him that he has deeper feelings for Carter than he admits.
The excavator passes through a river of molten rock with the extreme heat threatening to compromise hull integrity. Carter diverts power to the shields against the Goa'uld's advice to turn back, and the ship makes it through. But it stops a kilometer short of its target, as the forward drills were damaged by the magma. Jonas suggests they focus the remaining Tok'ra crystals to dig a passage large enough for one person to get through and deliver the nuclear device above the vein. But no one could survive the noxious gases and intense heat—except the Goa'uld, who volunteers to go since the Goa'uld symbiote will protect Kianna's body. She also has another reason: She wants the Naquadria for herself. She never reported the Naquadria's existence to Baal.


Back onboard Prometheus, Grace appears blowing bubbles, giving Carter an idea. If she can manipulate the sub-light engines, she can create a hyperspace bubble around the ship, protecting it from the cloud's harmful effects, and bring Prometheus out. She hails the alien vessel, which turns out also to be trapped in the cloud, and offers to use the bubble to help them as well if they return her crew. The crew appears back onboard. Carter's plan works, and both ships exit the cloud. Now freed, the alien ship retreats.
Like it or not, they realize the Goa'uld is again the only chance for the mission to succeed. The tunnel is dug. The Goa'uld traverses it, reaches position and arms the device. But the ship's generators have been damaged and power is rapidly falling. It's now at 70 percent. The Goa'uld urges Jonas, Carter and Teal'c to leave her behind, but Jonas refuses, demanding that she start back immediately. They wait for her until the power levels drop to almost 50 percent, after which engine startup will be impossible. Just as it looks as though they must leave her behind, the Goa'uld bangs on the hatch. Jonas takes care of her as Teal'c and Carter pilot the ship up and out of the planet's depths seconds before the excavator's power is depleted. The explosion does its job and Langara is saved.


Back at SGC, Carter awakens from a four-day coma brought on by a massive concussion aboard Prometheus. O'Neill is at her bedside. With Carter's feelings for him awakened, could they have a future together outside of SGC?
Back at SGC, the Goa'ld symbiote perishes but saves Kianna, who passes on a message to Jonas that the Goau'ld deeply appreciated what he tried to do for her. Jonas and Kianna step through the Stargate back to Langara, where they will have to get to know each other all over again.
