"Prophecy" is an episode from Season 6 of the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1.

[edit] Plot

SG-1 has a meal on the planet P4S-237 with the poor inhabitants. Their leader, Ellori, tells them that their planet once belonged to Ba'al, who extracted naqahdah from it, but the naqahdah became scarce, so he left. However, they still have to give naqahdah to Ba'al's follower, Mot. During the meal, Jonas has a strange vision and shortly thereafter it really happens. Afterwards, Jonas suddenly collapses.

At Stargate Command, Dr. Fraiser tells General Hammond and Jonas that she has found strange activity in Jonas' brain. During a meeting, SG-1 informs Hammond about what they learned on the planet and plan to free the people from oppression. During the meeting, Jonas again has a short vision and it again happens just as he saw it. He talks with Major Carter, who finds the premise scientifically impossible, about it. Fraiser later informs Hammond that she has possibly found a tumor in Jonas' brain, so Jonas is suspended from the mission. Suddenly, a Tok'ra named Cyna comes through the gate and meets with SG-1. Strangely, Jonas already previously knew about this appearance. Cyna informs them about the situation of the System Lords, especially Ba'al. Later, Jonas suggests that perhaps Nirrti is responsible for his visions and Fraiser warns Hammond that the tumor could kill Jonas. Jonas again has a vision about Sam being hurt and rushes to stop SG-1 from going through the Stargate. It is logically decided that Carter will stay on base.

SG-1 and SG-15 go to the planet and enlighten the inhabitants about their plan. Ellori tells them that his people will help them whilst another villager, Chazen, goes in the forest and uses a Goa'uld long range communication device. At Stargate Command, Jonas is informed by Siler that an accident happened and that Carter was badly wounded. Jonas sees that this happened in his vision and apologizes to Carter, she quickly accepts his apology, knowing he was trying to keep her safe. On the planet, SG-1 speaks with Elori when suddenly, a Goa'uld ship appears and Chazen stuns them all with a shock grenade. At SGC, Fraiser finds Jonas blacked-out in his lab.

The imprisoned Jack O'Neill talks with Lord Mot who plans to extract information on how to deactivate the iris at SGC, even threatening to torture the villagers. At SGC, Jonas has another premonition about a Goa'uld attack on the base which results in a devastating explosion. He informs Hammond about it and plans to focus his mind to find out more. In the meantime, the SG teams are freed by Ellori's daughter and plan to get reinforcements. Jonas uses meditation to obtain another vision about how the SG teams on the planet are killed. He again blacks out but not before he is able to tell Carter, and is rushed into surgery. She and Hammond try to warn SG-1 but Chazen intercepts the message and sounds the alarm, only to discover the SG teams have escaped. At the gate, the SG teams are ambushed by Jaffa while Mot nearly kills Chazen for sounding the alarm. However, Ellori's daughter brazenly shoots Mot with a gun and, thanks to the alarm, the SG teams are alerted to the presence of the Jaffa and manage to fight off the ambush.

In the meantime, the doctors at SGC successfully remove the tumor. Hammond calls in several reinforcements to the gate room, preparing for any impending threat. The iris is opened and the SG teams finally come through. Jack asks Hammond to go back to the planet (of course with more men) to help the people. SG-1 later visits the recovering Jonas and tell him of their success on the planet. In the end, Jonas talks with Carter about his visions, pondering how odd it is that, in changing his vision of the future, they fulfilled a prophecy that was made on that planet millennia ago.
