Airdate: October 17, 1997

SG-1 returns from the planet Oannes without Daniel Jackson, who was last seen being consumed by flames. But as his teammates mourn his passing, they struggle with the inexplicable feeling that Daniel isn't really dead. In fact, Daniel is still alive on the planet, captured by Nem, an amphibious creature who hopes that Daniel's memories will be the key to finding his lost mate, Omoroca, who had lived on Earth in ancient Babylon. As Daniel strains to remember his history, SG-1 fights to overcome their falsely implanted memories and to find a way to rescue Daniel.
