S9, E7: With Vala missing in action after the incident at Kallana Mitchell unites SG-1 under his command at last -- and not a moment too soon. A Jaffa warrior belonging to the warlord Gerak turns up dead by the side of a rural Virginia road and the team has to figure out why. Mitchell and Teal'c interrogate Gerak at the Jaffa capital on Dakara but he evades their questions. Daniel and Carter meanwhile head to Virginia where they slowly uncover an intricate conspiracy involving several corporations especially defense contractor Farrow-Marshall Aeronautics. Most of the men involved have also been linked to the Trust a secretive international organization that was recently infiltrated by the Goa'uld. SG-1 hoped they'd solved that particular problem but Daniel and Carter now suspect that more Goa'uld might still be operating within Earth's highest circles of power. Back on Dakara Ka'lel another Jaffa leader privately confides in Teal'c and Mitchell. Her shocking news confirms Daniel and Carter's theory: Ba'al one of the most despotic of the Goa'uld system lords is living incognito in the United States. Gerak has been sending Jaffa to Earth hoping to capture Ba'al and thereby solidify his own grip on the hearts and minds of the Jaffa Council. After Gerak's Jaffa conduct an unsuccessful raid on Farrow-Marshall's headquarters Ba'al himself steps openly into the game. He sends a videotaped message to Stargate Command announcing that he wishes only to conduct his business on Earth in peace. Left alone he promises to cause no trouble. But if anyone - human or Jaffa - tries to capture him again he'll detonate a naquadah bomb somewhere in the United States. Letting a former system lord treat Earth as his personal playground is of course not an option. Mitchell and Teal'c struggle to restrain Gerak's Jaffa from making further attacks while Carter and Daniel track down Ba'al. They hope to kill him quickly and quietly denying him time to detonate the bomb. Their plans are foiled however when Ba'al goes public at a TV news conference. Posing as a human businessman he proudly announces his acquisition of Hammel Technologies a major corporation. SG-1 must now find a way to capture the newly famous Ba'al outwit Gerak's Jaffa warriors and defuse a bomb hidden in a major U.S. city -- all without exposing the Stargate program.
