Trinity - Recap

The team travels to the home planet of the Durandanes, which the Ancient’s database said were a wonderful people. However, once they get there they find a destroyed Wraith fleet in orbit about the planet and no life left on the planet from 10,000 years ago.

Upon investigation, they find the Ancient’s had set up a secret outpost there, and the Ancient’s were trying to build an experimental weapon using a power source that would make ZPMs look like alkaline batteries. The power source and weapon was / is a vastly larger version of the space based weapon platform first seen in “The Defiant One.”

As the team returns to Atlantis to tell their findings of the power source / weapon, Teyla prepares to travel to another planet, Balken, to negotiate for improved diseased resistance seed to help the Athosian’s crops. Ronon asks to join Teyla, because he just wants to escape the confines of Atlantis.

During Teyla’s negations Ronon interjects himself into her negotiations by threatening the person she was negotiating with.

However, later on the planet, Ronon learns there is another survivor from his home world. This person tells Ronon that more than 300 people survived the attack on Ronon’s home world. During this discussion, Ronon learns one of the survivors was a commander who was his former mentor. A man that sent thousands to their deaths in order to save this commanders and his family’s life. However, he keeps this traitorous act information from Teyla.

Back on the other planet, McKay believing he can complete the job the Ancients started, but failed to complete, winds up causing the death of a fellow scientist, Dr. Weir decides to terminate McKay’s attempt to activate the power source and weapon, against the advise of Col. Caldwell.

McKay later pleads and convinces Sheppard to let him continue the work on the power / weapon. Then Sheppard and Col. Caldwell convince Dr. Weir to let McKay finish his work on the power / weapons system. However, after his own investigation, Dr. Zelenka vigorously fights against McKay’s efforts to perform the second test, saying McKay is wrong.

While back on the trading planet, Ronon kills his mentor, after having Telya to set up a meeting with him. Ronon tells Teyla that his mentor was a traitor who deserved to die. Teyla, upset over Ronon using her in his deception, tells him that she will never let him get away with that action again.

Back on Durandanes, McKay’s second test of the weapon goes horribly wrong, and he can’t shut it down. Sheppard is forced to evacuate the pair in their puddle jumper, avoiding the weapons fire they set off. They find the Daedalus in orbit, and warn them about the impending destruction of the solar system, and both ships make it to safety before the solar system is destroyed.
