Shara could hear the demon's voice. "I am sorry you must die so young. You were meant to live hundreds of years with me in control. You would have powerful. Why did defy me?" With every sentence, the voice grew weaker.
"I would have been a slave in my own body. I will not live that way."
Shara awakened to see Major Carter, Teal'c and two new men. "These are Jacob Carter and Martouf, Shara. They're of the Tok'ra and they will help you be free," Daniel said.
"We're going to put you to sleep. When you wake up, you'll be free," Dr Fraiser said.
In Shara's dreams, she saw a beautiful woman with dark hair. She said she was the last rembrandt of Anat. Slowly, she faded away. Shara took this as a sign that she was free.
Well, if she were free, why did she not wake up?

"What do you mean, Dad?" Sam asked Jacob.
" I mean the Goa'uld was in her long enough to destroy the child. Without another symbiote, she'll die."
"Do you have one?" Daniel asked.
"We may. How long can you sustain her life, Doctor?" Martouf asked Janet.
"A few hours, at most."
"That should be plenty of time. I will go find a willing symbiote," Martouf said. And he left.
Two hours later, he returned with a host who was about to die. The symbiote was called Sarai. When they entered Shara's room, her life signs were low. The symbiote entered her body and the former host died.
Some time later, the symbiote awakened in Shara's body. "She will live," Sarai said.
"Let us speak to her," Skaara said.
"She bowed her head and it came up, it was Shara. "Thank you all."
