302 Seth

Sam Carter is a seething cauldron emotions.

There are the lingering effects of the drugs left over from the initial introduction to Seth. She feels this overwhelming love for him, a worshipful need to please him.

Then, of course, there is the hatred of these false gods, these parasites, the Goa'uld. She needs to protect her team, her father and, too, the young people escaping Seth's thrall.

There is the fright, the disgust, at that hatred flowing through her. The power of her emotions have flown through her, through the hand device, so powerful she has killed Seth with her mind. She had driven him into the ground. What is she capable of?

Teal'c has no problem with another Goa'uld dead. His problem lies with trying to understand these men. Why would a man be alienated from his son? His boy Ry'ac, he left him in his mother's care not because he wanted to be shed of him. He feared if he took that leap with his family he would have put them in greater jeopardy. These men, Ryan's father and General Carter, will hopefully realize that loving your child was not complicated. Keeping them safe could be but not loving them.

Jack, looking back on the mess, knows you could fuck up your relationship with your kid at almost any time. But some men get second chances. Who wouldn't jump at a second chance to make things right. He'd give anything.
