Ep 1. Into the Fire

SG-1 returns to Earth victorious after completing their mission and returning the freed Jaffa to their home planet. However, their celebrations are cut short as they are immediately debriefed by General Hammond and then ordered back to Chulak to attempt to rescue Teal'c who failed to return through the Stargate after assisting his wife with the birth of their child.

On arriving at Chulak, SG-1 discover that Apophis has taken control of the planet, using it as a base for his invasion of Earth. SG-1 find themselves outnumbered and outgunned, with no apparent way to rescue Teal'c. However, the team determines that there may be a way to take control of the Goa'uld's level of The Hatak vessel that's orbiting Chulak long enough to rescue Teal'c. To do this, they'll need to reacquire the trinium used to construct their original hidden army, now in Apophis' possession, and create a bomb that can knock out the ship's shields.

In an action-packed episode, SG-1 fights back against Apophis' Jaffa warriors as they seek out the trinium. Meanwhile, Major Carter labors to create the bomb needed for SG-1 to take the Level and free Teal'c. The team navigates the chaotic environment as they race against the clock to save Teal'c. Along the way, they discover that they might have a new ally in the Goa'uld system, but are they really allies or just another enemy now leading them on?

"Into the Fire" is a thrilling opening to the third season of Stargate SG-1, full of action-packed battles and heroic rescues. As always, the chemistry between Colonel Jack O'Neill, Major Samantha Carter, Dr. Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c is excellent, and the performances continue to be strong across the board. This season promises to deliver more thrills and excitement as SG-1 continues to explore new worlds and face new enemies, making "Into the Fire" a must-watch for fans of the series.
