Précis

The Balarans are survivors of Michael’s release of the modified Hoffan drug and have joined the village of another planet as a place of refuge where Dr. Beckett is working in a clinic. They considered their survival as a blessing until they learn that the Wraith are on their way to their new homeworld to wipe them out.

MGM/SciFi.com Official Summary

Spoiler Summary

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.
