"Full Alert" is an episode of the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1.
[edit] Plot
O'Neill returns from shopping to find his door open. Inside, he finds former Vice-President Kinsey. He considers calling his friend, the sheriff, but Kinsey offers help to defeat the Trust.
At the SGC, Carter proposes that Kinsey meet the Trust while they video and track him. At the Trust estate, Kinsey is shown something but interference blocks out first the video and then the audio so SG-1 storm the mansion only to find everyone gone.
Suspecting that the Trust is in their cloaked Al-kesh and taking precautions to avoid detection, Teal'c is sent to the Prometheus, Carter works on a program to detect the Al-kesh and Daniel is sent to Russia.
When Daniel arrives in Moscow, he meets his liasion officer - the very pretty Captain Daria Varonakova. However, whilst Daniel is being taken to see General Kiselev, the hard-line commander of Russian missile forces, he is arrested and accused of being on an assassination mission. He is told that Kinsey tried to assassinate Kiselev, and Daniel is shown a video showing that Kinsey is a Goa'uld.
Carter theorises that when the Trust were forced to flee the Solar System, they were captured by the Goa'uld, were given Goa'uld symbiotes and have been sent back to Earth to compromise the Russian President Mikhailov. The SGC receive word that Russia and China are preparing for nuclear war, on the assumption that the US is wholly under Goa'uld control.
Daniel interrogates Kinsey's Goa'uld and learns that he is working for the System Lords. When Russian troops interrupt, he beams out with Kinsey to the Prometheus. On Earth, Carter determines that Kiselev is a Goa'uld because he's not wearing his glasses, and has been for some time. The Trust's Al-kesh begins firing on the Prometheus. In the confusion, Kinsey assaults his guards, escapes to the Al-kesh and kills the Goa'uld/Trust agent who would otherwise have sacrificed Kinsey's life along with the Prometheus. The Prometheus opens fire and destroys the Al-kesh. But it is not known whether Kinsey was onboard at the time.
The SGC advises the Russian President of what they suspect, and the episode closes with the revelation that the Russian President has successfully reeled Kiselev in. Nuclear annihilation is averted.
[edit] Notes
- All of the Trust members' assumed names are those of superheroes: (Clark) Kent (Superman), (Bruce) Wayne (Batman), and (Peter) Parker (Spider-Man).
- At the beginning, Jack talks with somebody named Andy on the phone - an inside joke to the director.
- This is the 76th appearance of Gary Jones (Sgt. Walter Harriman) on the series. As of this episode, he has appeared in more episodes than any other guest star. Prior to this episode, Teryl Rothery (Dr. Janet Fraiser) held that distinction.
- The name on the courier van is Mikita Couriers - another inside joke to the director, Andy Mikita.
