''The official summary is not yet available as this episode has yet to air in the United States.''
The Ori's plague is spreading inexorably across Earth, threatening to become a global pandemic. Carter and Orlin search desperately for a cure, but Orlin has grown weak: His Ancient knowledge is too overwhelming for his human brain to handle.


== Episode Spoilers ==
Meanwhile, on Dakara, Gerak's commitment to the Ori has led him to become a Prior. Flaunting his newfound mystical powers, the arrogant leader seems poised to convert the entire Jaffa Nation to Origin. Teal'c and Bra'tac, however, can't bear to watch the Jaffa fall into servitude to these new false gods. Accordingly, they persuade their followers to assemble a fleet and rebel openly against Gerak's vastly superior forces. It's a terrible gamble, but Teal'c hopes that, faced with civil war, Gerak will ultimately betray the Ori rather than kill thousands of his Jaffa brothers and sisters.


'''Note:''' Latest updates are <font color="#AC4516">in color</font>.
With billions of human and Jaffa lives thus endangered, Daniel and Mitchell are relieved to find a ray of hope on their mission to capture a Prior alive: The reclusive and powerful Sodan warriors &mdash; who recently converted to Origin &mdash; have already renounced their new religion. Having witnessed the Priors' murderous tactics for themselves, they now vow to help Daniel and Mitchell trap one of the deadly missionaries with Carter and Lee's untested weapon.


Lord Haikon (of the Sodan Jaffa from 9.08 "Babylon") is due to make a reappearance in the season two-parter, “The Fourth Horseman”.
The weapon actually works (eventually), leaving Mitchell and Daniel face-to-face with a very powerless, very angry Prior. They draw the blood sample that Orlin needs and send it back to Stargate Command. Next, they try to talk the Prior into switching sides, knowing that his help would be invaluable in curing the plague. Unsurprisingly, however, he is less than receptive to their arguments.


Speaking of "The Fourth Horseman", Mallozzi advised fans in his Q&A on May 22: "Check out the big mid-season two-parter, The Fourth Horseman, in which a certain someone from her [Samantha Carter] past drops in to lend a hand - with poignant consequences." This sounds like Orlin might indeed return as originally thought. Mallozzi didn’t mention Sean Patrick Flanery, who originally played the role in "Ascension", so it is possible that Orlin might return in another form, much like Oma Desala did for Daniel (such as in "Maternal Instinct" and "Meridian"). No word one way or the other has been confirmed, so this is mere speculation at this point.  
But they're about to get assistance. On Earth, Orlin has grown too weak to help Carter and the medical team incorporate the Prior's DNA into their antidote. Instead, he journeys to the Sodan world, where, calling upon the last of his Ancient wisdom &mdash; and the last of his strength &mdash; he confronts the Prior himself. Orlin's profound knowledge unnerves the Prior, who blurts out that the Ori plan to kill all the Ancients even if they must ravage the Milky Way to do it.


[Edited to add: Mallozzi posted on his Q&A after this article was first released: "We know now that Sean Patrick Flannery will not be playing Orlin again in The Fourth Horseman I and II. Instead, the part will be played by the terrific Cameron Bright. How is this possible, you’re no doubt asking. Well, there’s a very good reason Orlin’s appearance has changed..."]
It's a frightening insight into the depth of the Ori's vendetta, but SG-1 has a more immediate problem: If Teal'c's gamble against Gerak fails, and if the plague can't be stopped, Earth's humans and thousands of Jaffa will be dead before the galaxy's destruction even begins.

"As forces from Stargate Command, USAMRIID, the C.D.C., the W.H.O., and concerned governments try to head off a global pandemic, SG-1 race the clock in an effort to find a cure." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.
 
"Daniel and Mitchell will be heading off-world on a mission to retrieve a key element of a potential cure. Will someone be affected by the plague? The law of averages would suggest someone could very well be infected. Who? Well, you'll have to tune in to find out." &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld.
 
"Fourth Horseman offers yet another reunion of sorts [for Carter] while Carter teams with Dr. Lee in an attempt to help capture 'the missing piece of a puzzle.'" &mdash; Joseph Mallozzi in his Q&A thread at GateWorld. The "reunion of sorts" is that of Orlin and Carter.
 
When asked which episode of the first half of Season Nine showed the best of the character of Samantha Carter and of the acting talents of Amanda Tapping, Joseph Mallozzi stated this on his Q&A thread at Gateworld, "Amanda does a wonderful job in The Fourth Horseman as Sam struggles to help save the world under an incredible emotional strain."

Précis

When Orlin needs a blood sample from a Prior in order to perfect his cure for the plague, Daniel and Mitchell turn to the Sodan for assistance. Orlin's battle to retain memories from his ascension is causing brain damage, but he uses the last of his strength to travel to the Sodan world and confront the trapped Prior. SG-1 learn that the Ori plan to kill all the Ancients in the Milky Way galaxy.

SciFi.com Official Summary

The Ori's plague is spreading inexorably across Earth, threatening to become a global pandemic. Carter and Orlin search desperately for a cure, but Orlin has grown weak: His Ancient knowledge is too overwhelming for his human brain to handle.

Meanwhile, on Dakara, Gerak's commitment to the Ori has led him to become a Prior. Flaunting his newfound mystical powers, the arrogant leader seems poised to convert the entire Jaffa Nation to Origin. Teal'c and Bra'tac, however, can't bear to watch the Jaffa fall into servitude to these new false gods. Accordingly, they persuade their followers to assemble a fleet and rebel openly against Gerak's vastly superior forces. It's a terrible gamble, but Teal'c hopes that, faced with civil war, Gerak will ultimately betray the Ori rather than kill thousands of his Jaffa brothers and sisters.

With billions of human and Jaffa lives thus endangered, Daniel and Mitchell are relieved to find a ray of hope on their mission to capture a Prior alive: The reclusive and powerful Sodan warriors — who recently converted to Origin — have already renounced their new religion. Having witnessed the Priors' murderous tactics for themselves, they now vow to help Daniel and Mitchell trap one of the deadly missionaries with Carter and Lee's untested weapon.

The weapon actually works (eventually), leaving Mitchell and Daniel face-to-face with a very powerless, very angry Prior.
