Synopsis
Plot
Daniel Jackson has at last, found the address to Atlantis, but it can only be a one way trip. Using the ZPM from Proclarush Taonas, they dial Atlantis, and the Atlantis expedition step through. Once in Atlantis they discover that power is failing, and if they don't evacuate, the shields will fail, and the shields are the only thing keeping the water out. They dial a gate address, in hopes of finding a place to go, and discover they are on Athos, a peaceful planet. However, they soon discover an enemy far worse than the Goa'uld, and they take Colonel Sumner prisoner. They call themselves the Wraith. They escape the planet and go back to Atlantis along with the survivors of the Wraith attack. However, it seems they have little time before the shields fail, and before they can dial another planet, the shields fail, and Atlantis rises.
Bloopers
General Blooper
- They braught Earth weapons to Atlantis, however they didn't bring any Goa'uld weapons (i.e. Staff weapons and Zats)
Dialling Sequence Blooper
- When the Wraith dial Athos, the order in which the symbols light up, is the same as when someone is dialing out. In all later episodes, they light up in the correct order.

Mistakes During Filming
- When the drone (controlled by Dr Beckett) leaves the outpost, it blasts a hole in the dome, however, a few minutes later into the episode, you see the dome and it the dome is complete.
General Notes
- There SHOULD be some device which should create ZPM's in Atlanti
