Jack knocked as he entered Sam's lab, shutting the door behind him

"hey Carter, what was that all about?"

"nothing Sir"

"didn't sound like nothing, I could hear you two arguing from the other end of the corridor"

"just leave it" she snapped

Jack stood staring at her, Sam hardly ever raised her voice especially to him.

"sorry Sir, I just..." she let the sentence hang as she turned to face away from him

"hey, whatever's going on you can talk to me" he took a step closer to her

" I can't, you wouldn't understand"

"try me"

She took a deep breathe and told him what had happened back on the planet

"Carter, you did the right thing. It was too dangerous to try anything with that many Goa'uld around"

"but that's the thing, we...I could've gotten her out. If I hadn't been so set on finding you and Teal'c it would've been easy to sneak in and get her"

"you don't know that"

"don't I"

"Look Daniel's upset and he just needs to calm down. He didn't mean anything he said"

"that doesn't mean it's not true. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go" she said as she walked towards the door, but as she brushed passed him he grabbed her arm

"Sam it wasn't your fault"

She turned to face him and without saying a word she pulled out of his grasp and left the room

After his conversation with Sam he decided he had better go and try to talk to Daniel. On his way he ran into general Hammond

"Colonel, just the man I wanted to see"

"really Sir"

"yes, how is Doctor Jackson doing"

"I was just on my way to find out sir"

"I think it might be a good idea for Sg-1 to go back to P3X-5679 and try to find out why Apophis was there"

"is that wise Sir, what if he still has Jaffar hanging around"

"we'll send a M.A.L.P through first and if it's all clear then you have a go, the briefing will begin at 1500 hours"

"yes Sir"

Daniel was in his quarters when he heard a knock at the door

"come in"

Jack entered and shut the door behind him

"hey"

"hi"

"so, how come you weren't in the briefing"

"she told you didn't she"

"who, told me what"

"Sam, she told you how I disobeyed her orders"

"kind of"

"I can't believe her"

"hey, it wasn't like that. I heard you two fighting and I asked her what was going on"

"I suppose at least she didn't tell Hammond"

"Daniel I know you're upset but it wasn't Carter's fault"

"how can you say that, if she hadn't been so quick to just leave, then..."

"then a million of different things could've happened. It was to risky and blaming Carter isn't going to change anything"

"I know that, but I was so close. Imagine...Imagine if things were reversed, if it was Sam in trouble and I was stopping you from helping her, how would you feel then"

"that's not fair"

"isn't it, could you honestly tell me you wouldn't have taken the risk if it had been Sam"

Jack took a moment to think about that and he knew Daniel was right, if it had been Sam he wouldn't of cared how many Jaffar there were or how big the risk was, but it wasn't Sam

"I'm sorry Daniel, I really am but I need you to stay focused. General Hammond wants us to go back to the planet to find out why Apophis was there but if you'd rather stay here we can send another team"

"no, I want to go"

"okay good, I'll see you at the briefing then"
As General Hammond instructed the M.A.L.P was sent through to P3X-5679 but instead of a deserted planet, the M.A.L.P images showed two Goa'uld mother ships in orbit around the planet

Sg-1 were sitting in the briefing room when the Stargate activated and the alarms sounded

"unauthorized incoming traveler"

"ID?" General Hammond asked one of the technicians that was on duty

"yes Sir, It's the Tok'ra"

"open the iris"

Sg-1 watched as Jacob and a couple of other Tok'ra stepped out of the gate
