-->'''-- Chancellor Travell'''
SG-1 visits Tollana to attend the funeral of [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E16Enigma Omoc]], and are surprised when Chancellor Travell indicates that the Tollan may be willing to revise their policy on sharing technologies with Earth. However, Narim confesses his suspicions that Omoc was murdered, and the team find themselves investigating a conspiracy that goes right the top of the Tollan government.
Last appearance of the Tollan.
----
!!"Between Two Fires" provides examples of the following tropes:
* BadassLongcoat: The team all wear these during Omoc's funeral.
* BusCrash: The episode opens with Omoc's funeral, while Omoc himself has not been seen since the [[Recap/StargateSG1S1E16Enigma first Tollan episode]], all the way back in season one.
* ContinuityNod: Daniel mentions that the Russians might not be too happy if they found out America had gotten its hands on an ion cannon, possibly a reference to his dream in [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E17AbsolutePower "Absolute Power"]] where he invoked the wrath of the Russian military by launching [[KillSat Kill Sats]] into space.
* DealWithTheDevil: It's revealed that Travell and the rest of the Tollan curia struck a deal with Tanith to supply his mysterious boss with advanced weapons in exchange for his leaving Tollana alone.
* DoWithHimAsYouWill: Tanith tells Travell to do what she wishes with Carter and Daniel, though he stipulates that he would like to deal with Teal'c himself.
* DoggedNiceGuy: Narim towards Carter, bordering on StalkerWithACrush territory when it's turns out that his home security system uses a recording of her voice.
* DownerEnding: The episode ends with Narim's last transmission cutting out and Tollana presumably destroyed by the Goa'uld.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Tanith mentions that he is now working for another more powerful Goa'uld following [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E1Enemies Apophis's demise]].
* GovernmentConspiracy: The Tollan higher-ups have been secretly working with the Goa'uld after it emerged that their ion cannons were no longer effective, with the implication being that they had Omoc killed when he threatened to expose them.
* {{Hologram}}: Narim sends Carter back to Earth following Omoc's funeral with a hologram recording explaining his fears that Earth might be in danger.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Travell insists that in building Tanith's weapons she was only doing what was necessary to protect Tollana.
* KilledOffForReal: Implied to be the case for Narim, Travell and the rest of the Tollan.
* KilledToUpholdTheMasquerade: Omoc.
* LensmanArmsRace: The Goa'uld, or at least Tanith and his employers, now have shields that are impervious to the Tollan ion cannons, leaving Tollana completely vulnerable to attack after years of peace caused them to grow complacent.
* LonelyFuneral: O'Neill comments on the lack of mourners at Omoc's funeral, to which Narim replies that Omoc had few friends as a result of his [[{{Jerkass}} attitude]] and would have only wanted people he respected at his funeral anyway.
* LoopholeAbuse: Tanith orders Travell to send the bomb through to Earth, as the Goa'uld still cannot attack directly without violating their [[Recap/StargateSG1S3E3FairGame treaty with the Asgard.]]
* LostInTransmission: Narim's last transmission to Earth is filled with static and abruptly cuts out as Tollana comes under attack.
* OffTheRecord: Travell switches off the recording equipment in the curia headquarters in order to speak with O'Neill and Daniel off the record about supplying Earth with ion cannons.
* OrbitalBombardment: Tanith starts an orbital bombardment of Tollana after Narim destroys the weapons.
* PubliclyDiscussingTheSecret: There are several scenes which show Narim and SG-1 casually discussing their concerns about a government conspiracy in the middle of public places.
* ReportsOfMyDeathWereGreatlyExaggerated: Tanith was presumed dead after [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E22Exodus Apophis's fleet was destroyed,]] but he reveals that he escaped in a glider long before the sun exploded.
* SadisticChoice: Travell -- and later Narim -- are forced to choose between building weapons of mass destruction for the Goa'uld to use on other planets or allowing their own planet to be destroyed by refusing.
* TooGoodToBeTrue: The team suspects that this is the case when Travell agrees to provide them with as many ion cannons as they need in exchange for a supply of trinium, after years of refusing to share technology. Sadly this turns out to be correct, as not only are the ion cannons useless against the new Goa'uld shields, but the trinium is being used to develop bombs for Tanith, one of which is to be sent to Earth.
* WeaponOfMassDestruction: Narim explicitly describes the Tollan bombs as "weapons of mass destruction". They appear to be a kind of nuke, but equipped with Tollan technology that allows them to phase through solid matter such as the iris.
