'''The official summary is not available as this episode has not yet aired in the United States.'''
The Replicators are wiping out the human populations of planet after planet, to destroy the Wraith's food supply. In response, Atlantis's exploratory teams are visiting human-inhabited planets and attempting to persuade their denizens to evacuate. In addition, McKay and the captive Wraith in Atlantis collaborate to create an anti-Replicator weapon, but their progress is frustratingly slow.


===Spoiler Summary===
While they struggle, both the ''Daedalus'' and the ''Apollo'' roam the galaxy, destroying Replicator ships one by one with new Asgard weapons. When all remaining Replicator ships retreat to their planet to prepare for a massive attack, however, the two Earth-built warships must also retreat to Atlantis, because they're no match for the entire Replicator armada at once.


McKay and a Wraith work together in a lab on Atlantis with two Marines keeping watch. They’re working together under an extreme time limit and McKay reassures the Wraith that they’ll be done as planned. The Wraith doesn’t believe the estimate is long enough, and McKay claims that he performs better under pressure. They’ve spent enough time together that the Wraith has picked up on McKay’s modus operandi and offers to speed up the process by threatening to feed on him. The Marines don’t take this as a joke, even as McKay tries to reassure them that it is, but he still moves as far from the Wraith as possible to continue his work.
McKay abruptly realizes that instead of designing a program to tear Replicators apart, he could design a program to fuse them all together until they collapse into a single dense object, similar to a neutron star. The plan is tricky for two reasons. The best way to deliver the necessary command into the Replicator network is for McKay to create his own Replicator that could infect the network with the virus. Also, the team will need an entire fleet of warships to contain the Replicator armada around their planet long enough for each Replicator ship to be sucked into the mass.


In the meantime, both the Daedalus and the Apollo are in orbit over Atlantis. Carter is with Caldwell on his ship, looking at the upgrades that include a retrofit of an Asgard terminal. They discuss Carter’s command and how different it is from being on an SG team.  
After several false starts, McKay builds a human form Replicator, whom he dubs Fran. Designed to be enthusiastic about her mission, Fran informs McKay that if the implosion doesn't happen quickly enough, the fused Replicators will regain self-control and become a gigantic super-Replicator. McKay resolves to beam into the Replicator city himself during the attack to program their Z.P.M.s to explode, accelerating the collapse.


Later, the Wraith is with Sheppard, Ronon, and Teyla on a puddle jumper. They’ve gone to the Wraith’s hive ship to negotiate the joining of forces. The Wraith’s fellow Wraith stunned the Expedition members so that they could talk with the Wraith in private. The Wraith wakes up Sheppard and tells him he’s managed to get seven hive ships instead of the twelve they had anticipated to join them. The Wraith explains that not all of the hives agreed to the plan and that some of them don’t have queens to create new soldiers should any of them be lost. Sheppard agrees that seven is better than none and they proceed with their plan.
As McKay works, the rest of Sheppard's team enlists 14 warships from the Wraith and from Larrin's people, the Travelers, to join the fight. The dangers they face on this unconventional diplomatic mission force Teyla to tell her team that she's pregnant. Sheppard, rattled, brusquely removes her from active duty; Ronon, who is sympathetic to Teyla, guesses that the father is her missing Athosian friend, Kanan.


While his team is out, McKay stays behind in Atlantis, this time working with Zelenka in the lab. They are conducting their experiments on a block of silvery metal [Although silvery metal has been seen on Stargate SG-1 as the appearance of the inert state of Replicator cells, the common enemy in this story is currently not known].
The allied fleet assembles at the Replicator homeworld. As a fierce space battle erupts in orbit, McKay and Fran beam to the planet. Fran activates herself and the Replicators start fusing together. McKay hacks into the Z.P.M. controls, but before he can finish his job, damage from the implosion knocks out power circuits that he's relying on. With the Replicators on the verge of regaining self-control, everyone must hope that McKay can find another solution — fast.

In response, Atlantis's exploratory teams are visiting human-inhabited planets and attempting to persuade their denizens to evacuate.
