To Vala’s dismay, her father Jacek contacts Stargate Command claiming to have knowledge of Arkad’s ships that were enroute to bomb Earth when he was killed by Teal’c. With it likely the mercenaries still believing they are to follow through with their bombings, SG Command is forced to agree to deal with Jacek. Regardless of Vala’s warnings about Jacek’s devious and scamming nature, General Landry has no option but to grant him sanctuary on Earth after his information proves to be true.

Jacek, trying to assimilate into Earth’s population, shows no inclination of giving up his scamming ways. While SG struggles to figure out what to do with him, Vala continually rebukes every attempt her father makes at reconciliation with his estranged daughter. Wearing down SG’s patience, and Vala’s resolve, they discover Jacek trying to break his home arrest and catch him consorting with one of Arkad’s Jaffa splinter cells stationed on Earth. Claiming he was just trying to stop another of Arkad’s ships destined to destroy Cheyenne Mountain and the Stargate, the team must put again put their trust in Jacek to help them locate the cloaked ship and disable it before it can explode.

Episode Quotes
 
Mitchell: They canceled it, really? I didn't even know a new season had started. That's something you don't see every day.
Siler: Yes, Sir.
 
Mitchell: Uh, and by cultural offerings you mean...
Sam: Pedicures, mochaccinos, and Victoria's Secret.
 
Jacek: Vala is that you?
Vala: Yes it is.
Jacek: Sweetheart, how is life treating you?
Vala: Certainly better than you ever did.
Jacek: I suppose for the benefit of your friends there, you're going to want to list all the reasons I was such a bad father?
Vala: Oh I wish I could, but a wormhole can only be maintained for thirty-eight minutes.
 
Mitchell: So what's the deal with the accent, or in your father's case, the lack thereof?
Vala: Well the accent, like most of my other good qualities, I got from my mother. My charm, my wit, my good looks.
Daniel: What did you get from your dad?
Vala: Some minor food allergies.
 
Teal’c: May I offer you a word of advice?
Jacek: Hello. Any input that would help me better myself would be greatly appreciated.
Teal’c: Maybe three words. Be less annoying.
 
Daniel: You want us to talk to Vala for you?
Jacek: I was going to suggest tricking her into coming here, but if you think talking will work…
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Watch at the end: Sam says that Teal'c got tickets to the show at the same time she's drinking the wine.
 
 
Cultural References
 
Performer: No matter where I went, it was vagina vagina vagina.

The monologue Teal'c ends up at is a thinly disguised parody of The Vagina Monologues, the 1996 play by Eve Ensler. The play consists of several women giving monologues on... well, their vaginas. Ensler occasionally updates the play to reflect topical women's issues.
