Daniel finds himself in a strange
Back in the Ascended Diner, Oma explains she has been punished for helping people, like Daniel, Ascend. Daniel then realizes that
Back on Earth, the gate dials when Anubis activates the weapon on every gate in the galaxy. However, back in the Ascended realm, Daniel has persuaded Oma to take responsibility for Anubis. She stands up to fight Anubis, and all of the other ancients turn in surprise. Anubis laughs, saying that she cannot possibly defeat him, as he is kept alive as punishment, and Oma takes Anubis into the Ascended realm to fight him there and prevent him from acting in the galaxy.

The episode originally aired as a 63-minute piece, but an edited 45-minute version exists for syndication. When the season was initially released on DVD, the release contained the shortened 45-minute version. Due to complaints, MGM offered a rebate, whereby people could send in proof of purchase from the DVD with the shortened episode to receive a DVD with the original episode. When the season was re-released in slimline cases, it contained the full 63-minute episode as did the standard Region 2 version of the Season 8 boxset. Neither version has a commentary featured on any of the Season 8 Box sets. The 45-minute version omits the following:
- The "Previously on Stargate SG-1..." that is present in the 63-minute version.
- The opening scene between Anubiswhere he says Ba'al has betrayed him.
- The scene when Daniel first enters the diner, along with Oma explaining where exactly Daniel was and how he got there.
- The entire scene of knighting Bra'tac and Teal'con Dakara - nothing is mentioned of Jaffa's freedom save they have control of the weapon.
- Some bantering between SGCand the bantering between Sam, Pete and Jacob.
- All scenes of Bra'tac and Teal'c on a ship.
- Jack waking up with Kerry in his bed.
- Daniel trying to talk to the other Ancientsin the diner.
- The phone call from Pete, the florist scene and driving to the new house.
- Sam waiting in the car outside Jack's house.
- Daniel says "No syrup?"
Also, some may notice that the diner is Der Waffelhouse set from the
