Slowly, everyone on Atlantis comes to terms with the sudden re-appearance of Dr. Carson Beckett who, he claims, has been Michael's prisoner for some two years. He tells them what he was doing in Michael's laboratory and they set off to find the kidnapped Teyla. Dr. Keller figures out just how he's come to there at all.

Whether he's a security risk or a sleeper plant of Michael's, Carson gets to go through the gate with the team. It doesn't end up being a walk in the park, as they encounter a hostile bartender and are shot at by someone wielding a P90. Someone who ends up being Nabel (the bad guy whom we last saw in Missing).

When Carson tries to help Jennifer out in saving Nabel's life, he ends up collapsing. Uh-oh. This doesn't look good.

Sam's also grilling the team about a possible double-cross by Carson but she's interrupted by Jennifer's call about Carson.

The team hears about Carson's condition first, and then so does Carson. So ... were TPTB being supportive or silly by including the name of David H's movie as a part of Carson's dialogue. Because, really, feeling like “a dog's breakfast”? For a true fan, it seems totally inappropriate because - duh - we notice these things and know.

Finally we all get a clue as to why Carson's been deteriorating. It's those weekly injections that Michael had been giving him and he's several days late in getting one.

Back at the warehouse, Teyla's been taken away from her people and is now secured to a creepy diagnostic table. Um, whose bright idea was it to secure a heavily pregnant woman to a table that is essentially upright. Oh, yeah. I keep remembering there were no women in the writers' room, so they wouldn't know about blood pooling in the ankles. ::sighs:: Also, poor Teyla, to have another encounter with her zombified boyfriend, except for a wee glimmer when he surfaces from his trance ... until Michael's arrival makes him docile again.

I absolutely loved John's reply to Nabel regarding not feeling safe anywhere in this galaxy. Oh, Nabel, guess what's behind Door Stargate #2.
