List of episodes

"Orpheus" is the 4th episode from the seventh season of military science fiction adventure television show Stargate SG-1 and is the 136th overall. It was first broadcast on June 27, 2003, on the Sci-Fi Channel. The episode was written and directed by Peter DeLuise.

In this episode, following one of SG-1's missions to another world through the Stargate, Teal'c (Christopher Judge) is seriously injured. No longer able to rely on the healing powers of his symbiote, Teal'c struggles with his rehabilitation and believes he has become weak. Meanwhile, Daniel Jackson (Michael Shanks) is struggling to piece together memories from his time as ascended being but fears that Teal'c's son Rya'c and mentor Bra'tac are in trouble.

The episode deals with the repercussions of the season six episode "The Changeling", which sees Teal'c lose his symbiote.
