Methos was Eegeria's host when she was a goa'uld and he had been out of the Horsemen for a few generations. He's the one who made her realize there was more to enjoy in life than sadism, and taught her how to keep herself separate from the genetic memories, so essentially he's the one who turned her into a Tok'ra. In whichever episode it was where they found Eegeria in the lab, Methos was there, recognized her, and took her back.
"This is wonderful!" Tok'ra #1 exclaimed. "We need to spread the news. Now that our Queen is back we will surely be able to defeat the System Lords."
Adams pinched the bridge of his nose, and muttered to himself, just barely loud enough for Jack to hear, "Note to self, more self-preservation instincts in any future children." "Paranoia." "Tomato, tomahto. It's us they want to throw to the wolves."
The Tok'ra continued to exclaim excitedly to each other. "And of course, Eegeria will come back to our base immediately—"
Adams cleared his throat. "Are you trying to get me killed, or will that be merely an unintended side effect?" Oops, make that Eegeria.
"What do you mean?" Anise demanded. "Of course you will return with us."
"You start spreading the word that I'm still alive—much less that I've returned—and I'll be Undesirable Number One to the System Lords and every other goa'uld with aspirations of power before you can even sneeze," Eegeria pointed out. "As such, from this point on you will refer to me by either my partner's name or a code name…Methos. My code name is Methos. Do not let on to anyone outside of this room that I am anything else. I don't care how much you trust them. I don't, and I certainly have some justification for being paranoid."
The Tok'ra didn't look happy about it, but they agreed to it anyway. Even without the PR boost that would come from spreading Eegeria's name around, they were too short-handed to turn away help…and now that Jack thought about it, didn't somebody say something about Eegeria being the only Tok'ra queen, who gave birth to all the rest of the Tok'ra? Wait, that meant that all the Tok'ra were siblings, and Eegeria was their mother. Jack shook his head, trying to get that thought out of it, but it refused to be dislodged. …Did that make Adams their mom too, in some sort of strange way? Sadly, Jack would probably get reprimanded if he started hitting his head on the table and disrupted the diplomatic proceedings.
"But you are returning with us," Tok'ra #2 said confidently.
"No," Eegeria said. The Tok'ra started to protest, but she quelled their protests with a Mom Glare. Huh. Jack hadn't known it was possible for a male face to pull off a Mom Glare. He wasn't even sure what made a Mom Glare different than a normal glare, he just recognized one when he saw it. "My captivity has made me unable to undertake the kinds of missions you have dedicated yourselves to, at least for the time being, and I could not uproot Ben from his life so easily. We are long-lived—in a generation of the Tau'ri, or two, I may return to live among you, but for now I will remain with the Tau'ri, where Ben has made his life."
