'''The official summary is not available as this episode has not yet aired in the United States.'''
Leaders from the human populations of many worlds have formed an official alliance and extend an invitation to Lt. Col. John Sheppard and his team to represent Atlantis at their next meeting. But on arrival, the team is immediately detained in a concrete cell and Sheppard is brought before three council members—Kelore of Latira, Shiana of the Tribes of Santhal, and Dimas of the Free Peoples of Riva—to stand trial for crimes against the indigenous peoples of the Pegasus Galaxy.


===Spoiler Summary===
Richard Woolsey, meanwhile, receives a visit from Myrus, a representative from the new coalition of planets, who advises him that Sheppard and the others are being made to answer for the deaths of millions throughout the galaxy. Outraged, Woolsey demands that Myrus bring him to his people, confident he can take on their defense and secure their freedom. But it quickly becomes clear that even Woolsey’s formidable legal and diplomatic skills may not be enough to save the Atlantis expedition from a guilty verdict.  
 
The Coalition consists of human worlds who wish to unite to fight against the Wraith. At least that’s what Woolsey is told when the Expedition is contacted. They’ve requested that a representative for the Expedition meet with the Coalition’s Council, consisting of Kelore of Latira, Shiana of the Tribes of Santhal, and Dimas of the Free Peoples of Riva. Woolsey sends Sheppard’s team as a matter of diplomacy since Sheppard was requested by the Coalition by name.
 
Upon their arrival, the team stands before the three council members and gets one heck of a surprise: the Coalition doesn’t wish for the Expedition to join them, but rather, they wish to convict the Expedition for the “crimes against the people of the galaxy” they have allegedly committed ever since they arrived in Atlantis!
 
The Coalition believes that the Expedition has been “making unilateral decisions that affect the lives of millions without consultation and without accountability.
 
Each instance of when things went terribly wrong for the Expedition is brought up, and it appears that Sheppard’s efforts at defense are actually condemning them. The Expedition needs someone to represent them who knows how to argue in a courtroom, someone with a legal background … perhaps one Mr. Richard Woolsey.
 
'''Spoilers are subject to change.'''
