Exploring a village, the team is suddenly attacked and taken prisoner. It turns out that Ronon (Jason Momoa) had visited the planet before, and unknowingly lured the Wraith there. The Wraith then made a pact with the villagers that if they capture Ronon and contact them, the village will be spared from any future culling. On Ronan's request, the villagers set Sheppard (Joe Flanigan) and Teyla (Rachel Luttrel) free, who then quickly mobilize a strike force to return to the planet and save Ronon. Upon their return, however, the team finds the village devastated and Ronon taken. Back in the hands of the Wraith, Ronon is again implanted with a homing beacon and set free on his devastated home planet of Sateda, to once again be hunted by the Wraith. Ronon recalls the fall of his homeworld, where his wife and comrades were killed by the Wraith years ago. After the team determines Ronon has been taken to Sateda, they must race to the planet to save him.
