] is sent to planet P3X-513 after SG-9 is declared ]. They find one of its team on the other side looking terrified as if he'd been running or escaping. He explains that SG-9's leader, Captain Jonas Hanson, has convinced the planet's primitive inhabitants that he is a God, and now has them working for him, with any dissenters being burned to death under the high UV rays that burn the planet. It originally began as "playing along" for anthropological reasons, but then Jonas went too far with it and actually came to believe himself to be a God as well. He killed the rest of SG-9. |

], having previously been romantic involved with the Captain, will try to reach him and stop him. When she arrives, however, he is too insane to talk sensibly too, utterly convinced that he is doing something right as he works "his people" to death building a temple for him ("There have to be sacrifices!"). It turns out that he has found an old ] device that, apparantly, when activated, will "turn the sky orange" (ie raise an energy shield over the settlement) that will block out the harmful UV rays. By making his people build a temple he is buying time to work out how to turn on the device and prove himself a God when he "turns the sky orange" and saves them. He gets Carter to look at the device. |

Meanwhile, ] and ] go off into the forest and find the second half of the device: it is actually one of two generators that bounce the energy between them, thus raising a shield over the valley. Jonas' one doesn't work, because both must be activated. |

Ultimately, O'Neill is captured and he and Sam are taken to the Stargate, which Hanson has put on its side, so that it faces upwards. He plans on throwing the two through the open stargate to Earth (which will kill them since iris codes will not be used), and then having the Stargate buried. |

|
Before this plan can be carried out, however, ] and Jackson activate the second device. The shield works, and the people of the planet understand that Hanson was an imposter, and that anyone could have turned the deviced on. In their fury, they throw him into the Stargate, killing him. |

==Notes== |
|
|
* The title refers to the ] ], the first of which is standardly accepted as "Do not worship false Gods." |
|
|
* This episode sets up many of the strong themes throughout all seasons of SG-1, those of what it is to be a God, to deserve worship and reverence, and what it is to be a false God. |
