Plot
} The SG-1 team (minus Teal'c) becomes guinea pigs for a Tok'ra experiment which uses special armbands to enhances all their natural abilities. The armbands do not work where there is a symbiote present, so they won't work on the Tok'ra or Teal'c. Their strength, speed, agility, and metabolism (and therefore appetite) are all increased massively. At the same time, the device which grants them power decreases their ability to make rational decisions. This new sense of invunerablility leads the three to rash actions (such as going to a local steak house and ordering three rare steaks apiece). They decide that they are capable of taking on a large force of Jaffa that are guarding a Goa'uld ship under construction. The altered SG-1 members are in the middle of sabotaging this ship when their armbands fail. Jack and Jackson make it out O.K, but Carter becomes trapped behind an energy shield prompting Jack to stay behind with her. Fortunately, they are able to escape with the assistance of Teal'c.How the Armbands work
The armbands work using a virus which greatly increases physical aspects of the body. Eventually the body becomes immune to the virus and its effects, causing the armband to fail and fall off.
