The episode "Irresistible" of Stargate Atlantis season 3 follows the team as they are introduced to a new member, former enemy Ronon Dex. As the team works to integrate him into their group, they are called to a planet to investigate a series of disappearances. Upon arrival, they discover that the culprit is a smooth-talking man named Lucius Lavin, who has enchanted the locals and is using his charm to take advantage of them.
Despite their initial skepticism, Lucius quickly manages to charm the entire team, including Teyla who has a particularly strong resistance to his powers. As they become more and more enamored with him, it becomes clear that there is something more sinister at play. Soon, the team realizes that Lucius is not just after personal gain but is actually working with a group of Wraith who are using him to gain access to the planet's well-guarded Stargate.
With the help of Ronon, the team is able to snap out of their spell and work to stop Lucius and the Wraith. However, they face a new challenge as Lucius has managed to get the entire planet under his spell and they are now forced to fight not only the Wraith but also the planet's inhabitants who are under Lucius' control.
As the team works to save the day, they also begin to question their own susceptibility to Lucius' powers and consider what would happen if someone with his charm and deception were to infiltrate Atlantis. In the end, they are able to neutralize Lucius' hold on both the planet and their own minds, with Ronon using his physical strength and resistance to help lead the way.
"Irresistible" is a thrilling episode that explores the limits of the team's loyalty and resistance, and the dangers of underestimating one's opponent. With exciting action sequences and a thought-provoking storyline, it is sure to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.
