Season 4 Episode 3 - Upgrades
Anise/Freya, a new Tok'ra representative to Earth, approaches the SGC for help in testing some mysterious armband devices discovered amongst the ruins of a distant planet. Anise believes the devices could prove a powerful weapon in their war against the Goa'uld. However, since symbiotes seem to render the devices ineffective, she requires human test subjects to prove her theory. O'Neill, Carter, and Daniel volunteer. They are outfitted with armbands and within a short time, begin to demonstrate incredible strength and speed. But Dr. Fraiser grows concerned when medical tests suggest that the devices could be endangering their lives. General Hammond orders the armbands removed - only SG-1 is shocked to discover the devices will not come off. Anise sees an opportunity and suggests that SG-1, now outfitted with the armbands, be sent to destroy a new ship being built by Apophis. The General flatly refuses and orders SG-1 to remain on base. Their judgment clouded by the alien devices, the team defies the order and sets off on what could well be a suicide mission.
