Recap

Sheppard and his team, along with Dr. Keller take a Puddle Jumper through a drifting Stargate and meet with… a Hive ship. They receive docking instructions from the ship, which is expecting them. Once aboard, armed Wraith soldiers confront them… and then withdraw on the orders of Todd the Wraith. He offers his apologies and escorts them to a meeting room, then introduces them to his second-in-command. Sheppard has Keller explain the reason for their visit: she's used Michaels's recovered Hybrid research to develop a gene treatment that will remove the Wraith's need to feed on life forms. Todd and his second-in-command have no desire to lose their other abilities and Keller admits she isn't sure if the treatment will do so or not...

Episode Quotes
Sheppard: Hmmm. Fruit bowl. Nice touch.
Wraith Leader / "Todd": Well, we picked them up on our travels. I thought it would make our discussions more comfortable. I hope they prove as delicious as the farmers who grew them.

Wraith Leader / "Todd": Our alliance has recently been dealt a number of setbacks.
Ronon: You're getting your asses kicked.
Wraith Leader / "Todd": Indeed, although the Primary would never admit it out loud. But the one thing stronger than her pride is her instinct for survival.

Rodney: When are we gonna get to see her?
Sheppard: Give it some time. Just relax.
Rodney: I can't. I had like three cups of coffee and I'm completely wired.
Ronon: Really? I hadn't noticed.

Ronon: I still say this was a setup.
Sheppard: I don't know. Kenny seemed pretty surprised when that ship disappeared.
Rodney: Who?
Sheppard: Kenny... the second in command.
Rodney: Well, since when did we start calling him that?

Rodney: You know, just last week I was talking to Zelenka about trying to reverse-engineer a Daedalus beaming system for the Jumpers.
Sheppard: And?
Rodney: Oh, well, no. No, we're nowhere near close.
Rodney: I mean, the Asgard technology's incredibly complicated.
Sheppard: Well, what the hell are you bringing this up for now?
Rodney: I'm just saying that this would be the perfect situation for something...
