Rewatch: Miller's Crossing
Rodney McKay is continuing to work on solving the problems with the replicator nano code and finally gives in to Zalenka's request that he contact his sister Jeannie for help. He sends her an e-mail but that same night, she is kidnapped and taken to a private medical facility where she is expected to use nano technology to save the life of a

This is horrifying, to see Rodney helpless as Henry injects Jeannie with a dose of nanites. I hate this man already so much. It's no wonder his people lied to him, saying the nanites were ready.
The only good thing about the situation is that the siblings are working together without any additional sniping. And Rodney mentions having worked with the Wraith. Fun times. I think I recall the music being good here, underlining how busy they were, though with a strong drum beat indicating that time was marching on, time they didn't have.
Meanwhile, John, Malcolm and a reluctant Ronon are trying to find leads to the kidnapper. Bingo. Well, almost, but at least now they know where to look. Ronon's going out to find food. He'll be back when they need him and his gun.
A few hours have gone by since Rodney and Jeannie finished their work. So, plenty of time for Jeannie to grill Rodney about his love life and intentions of marrying Katie. Okay, so we're back to the vicious twist Jeannie had in McKay and Mrs. Miller. Not only that, what sister in the universe thinks about her brother's hotness - or lack thereof - and compares him very unfavourably to his teammate. That was WAY disturbing. Just ew. Of course, I blame the writing.
Oh, thank goodness. They're interrupted before Rodney can get even more of an insightful analysis of his shortcomings by his sister. The siblings are introduced to a fully-recovered Sharon.
Back at the SGC, Ronon's found the commissary and a very, very, VERY talkative Walter Harriman. I'm not too thrilled about his characterization either. But, hey, TPTB are rather disdainful of SGC employees. Ronon is thrilled to be rescued by John (who also rescues one of Walter's fries). And they're off.
It seems that Henry's ready to celebrate with champagne, but Rodney's being his naturally sceptical self. In any case, Henry admits he knows he'll go to prison but, as long as his daughter will live, he's okay with that. Poor kid, first motherless and now with a father in prison. What a terrific life - NOT. Well, it's too soon to have a toast, because one of the guards interrupts them. Back in the hospital-like room, Sharon is flatlining. The medical staff use a defib on her, but it's no use. She's dead. While Rodney wants to use the situation to get out of there, Jeannie expresses her regrets, then tries to get Henry to understand that she has to get help for herself by returning to the SGC. Henry is too distraught at his daughter's death, but I also get the feeling that he's not going to let them go because they've failed to save her.
