After relaying the story of the fight, Janet announces that she has to go to the restroom. "Come on Sam." She says, standing up. Sam gets up as well and takes the map from Daniel. "Let's find out what these 'Thunder Pots' are exactly."
As the girls leave Daniel looks up at Jack. "Uh...everything ok?"
Jack turns to look at Daniel, his eyes intense. "I'm just thinking about Charlie. I brought him here once, to the show. He loved it. Played all day in the Dancing Fountains."
Daniel looked down at his hands, unsure of what to say. After a brief pause he thought he'd change the subject. "How are things with you and Sam?"
Jack smiled. "Perfectly in order. Nothing inappropriate happening with us."
"Not at your will it seems."
Jack, in order to escape talking about something he wasn't even sure of himself, asked Daniel, "How're things with you and Janet?"
Daniel sighed. "She sees me as just a friend. I'm just the book guy."

"Oh, what a horrid line." Janet mumbled when they reached the Thunder Pots. "This is going to take forever."
Sam nodded. "Well, we have all day." She looked at her watch. An hour and a half until the air show. Sam looked up at Janet who seemed to want to tell her something. "What is it?"
Janet bit her lip. "It's about Daniel."
"What?" Sam asked, not sure if Janet was going to tell her she hated him or liked him.
"We're like a bunch of high schoolers." She laughed. Then she grew serious. "I, well, I kinda, like him." She laughed at how childish that sounded. "Oh my. You can tell I've been out of practice for a while."
Sam smiled. "He 'likes' you too."
"No, he thinks I'm boring."
"Hardly. He hangs on every word you say."
"He barely talks to me." Janet argued.
"He's nervous. You'll have to make the first move there Janet."
Janet thought for a moment. Sam was right about that. Daniel would never make the first move. "What about you and the colonel?"
Before she could answer it was her turn for the Thunder Pot. Sam sighed relief as she was able to escape the question that she couldn't answer.

George, having had three beers, relied on Teal'c to guide him back to their blankets. He was feeling pretty good. It was going to be a good night. As they approached Jack and Daniel he smiled. "Good afternoon boys."
Jack shook his head. "Uh...how many did you have?" Daniel asked as he watched the general sit down.
"Only two."
"You had three sir." Teal'c corrected.
"Did I?" Gen. Hammond shrugged. "Where're the girls?"
"They had to use the restroom and talk about us." Jack answered.
Daniel jerked his head to Jack. "Wh- what do you mean?"
"Oh come on Daniel, you know women. They have to tell each other everything."
The general nodded vigorously. "Women can't be trusted to keep a secret."
Teal'c sat on the blanket, his eyes looking out into the water. "Earth women are very mysterious."
Jack slapped him on the back. "How right you are Teal'c."
"Are you talking from experience, or observation?" Daniel asked.
Teal'c raised his eyebrow. His mind went back to the moment he was alone in the mess hall with one of the nurses. She had smiled at him, and then asked if she could sit with him because she hated eating alone. He obliged and she smiled even wider. She had tried to start a conversation with him, but she talked of nothing he knew about. She'd left abruptly and when he saw her again, she ignored him. Deciding not to relay the story, as they would ask who she was, Teal'c told him it was by observation.
