List of episodes

"Homecoming" is the 2nd episode of the seventh season of adventure military science fiction television series Stargate SG-1. The second part of a two-part episode, it was first broadcast on June 13, 2003, on the Sci-Fi Channel, directly after the part 1, "Fallen". Writing duo Paul Mullie and Joseph Mallozzi wrote the episode, with Martin Wood directing. The episode is the 134th overall.

In this episode, having learnt that Jonas Quinn's (Corin Nemec) homeworld of Langara is rich with a powerful mineral called naquadria, Anubis lays siege to the planet in order to harness the mineral in order to once again power his superweapon. Meanwhile, Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) attempts to locate Jonas, who has been imprisoned, whilst himself evading capture onboard Anubis' mothership. Jack O'Neill & Samantha Carter come to the aid of the Langaran people and Teal'c (Christopher Judge) pleads with Oshu (Kevan Ohtsji) to release him and help destroy Anubis.

The episode marks the departure of character Jonas Quinn (Corin Nemec), who became a member of the SG-1 team in season 6 following the departure of Michael Shanks. "Fallen" & "Homecoming" set a new record as both the most watched broadcast ever for the Sci-Fi Channel and most watched episode of the show so far.
