The story
SG-1 searches for an ancient weapon which could help them defeat the Ori, and discover it may be in the Ori's own home galaxy. As the Ori prepare to send ships through to the Milky Way to attack Earth, SG-1 travels to the Ori galaxy aboard the Odyssey. The International Oversight committee have their own plans and SG-1 finds themselves in a distant galaxy fighting two powerful enemies.
Stargate: The Ark of Truth recap
After the Ori die, their daughter Adria, now ascended, keeps their armies conquering the Milky Way. SG-1, now Cameron Mitchell, Samantha Carter, Teal'c, Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran, searches for the Ark of Truth, an Ancient device that can show the Ori's followers that their gods are false. On Dakara, they capture Tomin, Vala's husband and an Ori commander, who turns against his Prior. Daniel learns the real Ark is in the Ori galaxy, and the team takes the Odyssey through the Supergate. James Marrick, an official sent by the International Oversight Advisory, has secretly built a Replicator to use against the Ori, and it escapes and takes over the ship. On the Ori world of Celestis, the team finds the Ark but is captured, and Teal'c is shot. Morgan le Fay, an Ancient, revives Teal'c and frees Daniel, explaining how the Ark can break Adria's power.
