Plot details for ‘Flesh and Blood,’ ‘Morpheus’

More complete plot details have arrived at GateWorld for the first two episodes of Stargate SG-1‘s record-breaking tenth season, courtesy of SCI FI Channel. The new season kicks off on July 14 with “Flesh and Blood,” picking up where the March cliffhanger left off. “Morpheus” continues the action on July 21.

The new plot summaries offer more details than was previously known on these two episodes.

Watch out for significant spoilers below! Here’s how SCI FI describes these episodes:

FLESH AND BLOOD

Following their defeat by the Ori motherships that came through the Supergate, SG-1 struggles to overcome massive setbacks. Without the use of the now-damaged Odyssey’s beaming technology, Mitchell (Ben Browder) must find a way to rescue Carter (Amanda Tapping), who is stranded in space and quickly running out of life support.

Vala (Claudia Black), on board one of the Ori motherships, has given birth to the Orici — a genetically superior human with the knowledge of the Ori, who will lead the Ori armies into battle against all unbelievers. Vala names her daughter Adria, and watches in astonishment as she rapid-grows into a teenager within a few hours of her birth. Daniel (Michael Shanks), who had managed to ring onto Adria’s mothership, reunites with Vala. Together they attempt to capture Adria, whom they believe to be their best chance against the Ori.

Meanwhile, SG-1 must find a way to rescue Teal’c (Christopher Judge), who is captured and being tortured by the Lucian Alliance. When the Ori motherships resurface near Chulak, SG-1 joins Bra’tac (Tony Amendola) in attempting to defend the Jaffa planet and also to rescue Daniel, who they hope is still alive.

MORPHEUS

After learning that the Ori have successfully infiltrated six more galaxies, SG-1 goes off-world to find an Ancient weapon that Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) believes is the key to defeating the Ori. SG-1 travels through the gate and discovers a village in which all the inhabitants died of a mysterious illness.

However, before they can make any real progress in their search, SG-1 becomes infected by a virus that causes its victims to fall into a deep sleep, from which they will never awaken. Unwilling to risk exposing Earth to the virus, the isolated team searches for a cure, while Daniel investigates the local library looking for clues to finding the weapon they seek.

Back on Earth, Vala (Claudia Black), on General Landry’s (Beau Bridges) orders, undergoes a psychiatric evaluation to determine if she is fit to join the Stargate Command.
