DISCLAIMER: I don't own Stargate or any of the characters and I'm not getting paid for this either, so please don't sue me.

Daniel, Teal'c, Janet and Jack stared at Sam in various states of surprise and shock. Jack studied Sam's expression for any sign that she was joking but upon finding none, he turned around abruptly and strode out of the infirmary.
"Wh-What did you say?" Daniel asked, slightly breathlessly, being the first to regain his voice.
"Major Carter, You have worked with O'Neill for the past five years." Teal'c stated solemnly. Sam stared at him as if he'd grown another head.
"What are you guys on about? This is a joke, right?" Sam was beginning to look confused.
"No joke, Sam," Daniel shook his head slowly.
"Someone should tell General Hammond." Janet announced, getting up.
"No need." Hammond stood in the doorway. "Colonel O'Neill informed me that there was a 'situation'. Now would someone like to explain to me what the hell is going on?"
"It would seem that Major Carter has no memory of Colonel O'Neill," Janet spoke up, "Yet, she seems to remember everyone else here."
"Major Carter, Colonel O'Neill has been your commanding officer and leader of SG1 for five years." Hammond spoke to Sam.
"Sir?" Sam looked at him strangely. "I'm leader of SG1." Once again, they all stared at her.
"Major, just for the record, would you tell me who SG1 is made up of?" Hammond asked seriously.
"Myself, Daniel, Teal'c and Lieutenant Simmons." Sam said calmly.
General Hammond looked grave. He turned to those standing in the room, and to Jack who was standing in the doorway. " We need to find out exactly what she remembers, and try to find out what happened. Doctor, are there any more tests you can run?" Janet nodded in response. "Good, I want a progress report in three hours of what you have found." They acknowledged his orders, and he left the infirmary, with Jack following.

Three hours later, and they all assembled in the briefing room once more, this time including Sam.
"Well," General Hammond turned to them. "What have you found out?"
Daniel spoke up. "Teal'c and I have questioned Sam about her time working at the SGC, and about our missions. It seems that everything she remembers is exactly the same as we remember it, except, of course, for the fact that Jack isn't in her memories, at times even being replaced with Simmons." At this last comment, Jack looked slightly worried, but kept silent.
General Hammond looked a little surprised, and turned to Janet. "Could this be amnesia, doctor, caused by Major Carter hitting her head?"
Janet shook her head. "I don't think so, sir. With amnesia, we would expect it to wipe out large chunks of memory - not just certain people, then replacing them with others."
"Then what?" General Hammond wondered.
At this point, Jack spoke up for the first time. "Could it be another alternate reality?"
"Well, I didn't see anything that looked like a Quantum mirror on the planet," said Daniel, looking thoughtful. "And wouldn't we have two Sam's if that had happened?"
Sam nodded in agreement. "I didn't touch anything that looked even remotely like a Quantum mirror."
"What if she was exposed to something, like we were when we thought that Lieutenant Tyler was a member of our team?" Daniel suggested.
"I had already thought of that," Janet admitted, "But, I checked her MRI, and there was no evidence of any increased or altered brain activity. I didn't find any unidentified substances on her clothing either. There's no evidence of it."
"Teal'c, have you ever seen anything like this?" Hammond questioned the Jaffa.
"I have not." Teal'c replied. "Nor have I heard of this happening previously."
They fell into silence, each lost in their own thoughts. Suddenly Daniel spoke up again. "What about the Za'tarc machine?"
Jack stiffened involuntarily at this comment. "A Za'tarc? You think she's a Za'tarc??" he said, slightly incredulously. "You mean those Goa'uld assassin-y guys?" He paused. "But Major Graham remembered everything - or at least, he hadn't seemed to have forgotten anything to make us suspicious. Doesn't it kinda defeat the object of remaining undetected if Carter can't remember one of us?"
Daniel shook his head. "No, that's not quite what I meant. Didn't Anise say that the machine could detect any differences between peoples conscious and subconscious memory or something? Maybe that could help us?"
Janet looked thoughtful. "I guess it might help. It certainly couldn't hurt to call the Tok'ra and ask." At this, there was a derisive snort from the colonel.
General Hammond turned and glared at him. He turned back to the others. "I think it's the best chance we've got." He turned to Daniel. "Call the Tok'ra."
