Line 5: The episode opens with Teyla standing before a funeral pyre, her people around her. On the pyre is Kanaan, the father of her child. As she lights the fire, he turns and begs her to save him...and she wakes up. Teyla is convinced that her nightmare is a vision, and a message from Kanaan, who shares [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S01 /E18 The Gift\|her gift.]] When she experiences a second vision, directing her to a specific village, she asks for permission to go and investigate. Although the base is spread pretty thin at the moment dealing with a strange and deadly new plague, Carter authorizes the mission and Sheppard's team goes to check it out. And finds absolutely nothing. When they get back, there's a message waiting for them from their old buddy Todd the Wraith. He has discovered the source of the "plague" - someone has poisoned the well, so to speak, distributing a drug that makes humans toxic to Wraith, but at a 30% fatality rate. The team has a fairly good guess at what it is: the drug [[Stargate Atlantis/Recap/S01 /E07 Poisoning the Well\|the Hoffans developed]] way back in Season 1. They also have a fairly good guess at who's doing it: the only person in the Galaxy with a grudge against humanity and wraithdom alike - Michael! Meanwhile, Teyla has had another vision and returned to the planet with Major Lorne's team. This time she does find a lead on the missing Athosians...and is promptly kidnapped by Michael. He has been busy - not only has he learned to plant false visions in Teyla's head, he has also begun turning the Athosians into hybrids under his control (starting, sadly, with Kanaan), and, most importantly, has altered his own biology so that he no longer needs to feed. But, he says, he's had help.
