Line 8:
Cut back to Atlantis. Phew! Weir is in a coma, attended by Dr. Beckett, while McKay and Sheppard stand around and fret. Her body is being taken over by Asuran nanites, which are using bits of Weir to replicate. Beckett hits on the idea of injecting her with a bit of Wraith tissue. Since the Asuran nanites are programmed first and foremost to attack the Wraith, this will destract them away from Weir's neurons long enough to zap everything with a handy [[EMP|EM pulse]]. Sheppard continues to offer moral support, encouraging the unconscious Weir to fight them.
As the EMP takes effect, Weir is able to put up more of a resistance. She stops taking the pills Dr. Fletcher prescribes, and the shadowy haunting man coalesces into a recognizable Sheppard. She fights her way through hordes of orderlies, eventually finding herself at the SGC. The nanites have incorporated too much Weir-based material for the pulse to take them all out - it is all up to Weir to fight the rest of them herself. O'Neill appears to offer "help" - but she realizes he's a trap and follows the image of Sheppard instead. O'Neill turns into Niam and tries to halt her progress once more, but she forces her way through him and escapes through the Stargate, to wake up back in Atlantis.
=== Tropes: ===
* [[Asylum Plot]]
* [[Battle in the Center of the Mind]]
* [[Cuckoo Nest]]: The episode ends with an off-handed comment by Sheppard that they might still not be in the "true" reality
Line 29:
'''Weir:''' I know nothing about football.
'''O’Neill:''' Nor hockey apparently. }}
* [[
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Willoughby State Hospital, where Dr. Weir is interred, is a reference to an episode of [[The Twilight Zone]] about a peaceful town called Willoughby, which only exists in the main character's mind.
