COLD LAZARUS

01.07 Episode 7 (#3959)
Airdate: August 29, 1997

On P3X-562, the team discovers a valley of blue crystals. When O'Neill touches one, he is struck down by its powerful energy, and a duplicate O'Neill appears. Returning to Earth, the duplicate seeks out Sara, O'Neill's estranged wife, and their son Charlie who died years earlier. Meanwhile, the real O'Neill returns through the gate, and SG-1 learns that the crystals are really energy beings. In a final encounter, the duplicate explains that he wanted only to heal the injured O'Neill, but that his greatest pain was the loss of his son, a grief that O'Neill is only now able to accept.
