The Eye is the eleventh episode of the first season of Stargate Atlantis. In this episode, the team from Atlantis is facing a crisis when their main source of power, the Zero Point Module, begins to fail. The team must find a backup power source to keep Atlantis operational before it's too late.
In their search for a new power source, Rodney McKay and John Sheppard discover a planet where a potent energy source is located. In order to reach it, they must navigate a dangerous environment where they encounter hostile alien creatures as well as harsh weather conditions. Despite the odds against them, McKay and Sheppard persevere and eventually find the energy source they were looking for.
Meanwhile, Dr. Elizabeth Weir and the rest of the team remain in Atlantis, desperately trying to find a way to solve the power crisis. They come up with a plan to use a powerful laser to create a channel through the planet's atmosphere, allowing them to send a power relay to the new energy source. However, things quickly go wrong when the laser malfunctions and they are unable to complete the channel.
With time running out and their options dwindling, the team must come up with a new plan to save Atlantis before it's too late.

They have also come to understand the importance of working together and relying on each other's strengths. The Eye is a thrilling episode that showcases the team's resilience and the many challenges they must overcome to keep Atlantis operational.
