Plot Overview

On the planet Simarka (P3X-593), the SG-1 team meets the Shavadai; a race of people similar to the ancient Mongols of Earth. These skilled horsemen and fierce warriors operate by a strict code, which includes second-class status for women. Dr. Samantha Carter, who takes a back seat to no man, is threatened by death on her first encounter with the Shavadai chief, Mughal, and is only spared because she saved the life of his son, Abu. Carter faces peril again when she is kidnapped by Abu, who hopes to trade her for the hand of Nya, the daughter of Mughal's powerful enemy, Turghan. The deal goes bad and Carter ends up the unwilling property of the warrior chief. She is determined to escape but torn by pity for the lovelorn Nya and Abu. Carter arranges Nya's escape from Turghan's tyranny and is rescued from his clutches by O'Neill and the SG-1 team. But, Carter's ordeal is not over yet; Turghan caught his daughter trying to elope and will stone her to death for her disloyalty unless Carter can defeat him in combat. In the circle of battle, Carter must prove she is the equal of any man -- or die trying.

Trivia

The Show

• Syndication airdate: September 28, 1998.
• Simarka was designated P3X-593.
• It is mentioned during the campfire scene after Captain Carter's rescue, Colonel O'Neill mentions that Carter drank a substance on P3X-595 that made her take all her clothes off
• Neither the name Simarka or P3X-593 is mentioned in the actual episode. This information was probably obtained from the old Showtime website.
