[edit] Plot
K'tano, First Prime of Imhotep, announces to rebel Jaffa that the Goa'uld are not gods and they shall fight for freedom. In the crowd, Teal'c and Bra'tac overhear his speech.
They report back to the SGC and tell them K'tano who holds strong to Jaffa ways against Tau'ri influence. However, this leader is incredibly reckless. In addition to attacking auspicious targets that contain civilians as well as Goa'uld, he uses terrorist tactics such as suicide bombers in order to spread dissent throughout the ranks of his enemies. SG-1 decides to make an alliance with them because the Tok'ra are weakened.
Upon arriving, they learn that K'tano is raiding Zipacna. When he came back, he praised SG-1 for killing the many System Lords. He then asks what SG-1 has to offer in exchange for an alliance. They show P90s and supplies. K'tano thinks it is generous but he was expecting Zats and Staffs. They do a weapons test and show the Jaffa that though their weapons are less advanced, they have killed many Jaffa and Goa'uld in battle. This earns K'tano trust.
Next day, they raided one of Nirrti's cargo ships and K'tano convinces her Jaffa to come to their cause. O'Neill thought that was pretty suicidal in walking up to the enemy's servants.
Teal'c leads an attack on Lord Yu at the behest of K'tano, along with several other rebel Jaffa to destroy the "weak" System Lord. Teal'c is captured and the other rebel Jaffa are killed. For his own reasons, Lord Yu decides to let Teal'c go, but first he tells him that the attempted mutiny on one of Yu's motherships has failed and something else. Teal'c comes back through the Stargate and heads to the Jaffa camp to challenge K'tano to Jo'ma'sai'que, the Jaffa rite of leadership. Teal'c feigns exhaustion until K'tano thinks him beaten, at which point he gloats in Teal'c's ear. In doing so, he reveals himself as Imhotep, a minor Goa'uld. K'tano/Imhotep raises his staff for a killing blow, leaving himself open for Teal'c to utilise a quick jab with his broken staff. The jab kills Imhotep, and one of the rebel Jaffa confirms that he is not a Jaffa. The Goa'uld mothership begins its attack, and the Jaffa flee to the relative safety of Earth with SG-1. Bra'tac vowed that their day will come.
[edit] Quotes
Jack: This [holds up a staff weapon] is a weapon of terror: it's made to intimidate the enemy. This [holds up a P90] is a weapon of war: it's made to kill the enemy."
