Plot

} After an unscheduled Stargate activation, the first of many SG-1 teams originating from many parallel universes arrive at the SGC. While more and more alternate SG-1 teams arrive, Col. Carter and Dr. Lee, with help from alternate versions of Carter and Martouf, try to find a way to bring those teams back to their own reality. When they fail to find a solution, SG-1, with help of the Asgard, decide to stop the black hole which is responsible from diverting the teams out of their realities. SG-1 and the first alternate SG-1 team which came through the gate use the Prometheus to reach the black hole. However, the alternate team takes over the ship and heads to Atlantis to steal the ZPM. The alternate team explains that they need the ZPM to power their defenses in their reality, and planned this entire situation to steal it from this reality. SG-1 manages to retake command of the Prometheus and return to Earth, where they use information from the alternate team to send all the parallel universe teams home.

Notes

This episode features Dr. Fraiser being alive and part of another reality's SG-1.
Thor is unavaible for help because he is on an unspecified mission in another galaxy. A new Asgard character is introduced to assist, Kvasir, whose attitude is best described as pompous.
Carter learns that she had a relationship with Martouf in another reality but, due to the long-distance factor, among other things, it did not work out there either.
Carter is married and on maternity leave in another reality (Who she married is unknown) and Selmak is alive.
The first three teams to arrive all wear different uniforms - first black, then green, then brown camouflage - yet the first team to arrive is mistaken for the real team (wearing green).
The first Mitchell to go through the gate (the one in the black uniform), leaves with a cryptic remark to the effect of "when the time comes, cut the green one." This is either part of this Mitchell's sick sense of humor (causing paranoia and confusion in another version of himself) or he is warning the "real" Mitchell of a future event.
