** This episode establishes that the Wraith possess access to cloning technology. This helps set up the upcoming big reveal at the end of "The Kindred, Part 1".
** Careful viewers will notice that Todd never actually states just how many [=ZPMs=] he salvaged from Asuras. This will become ''very'' important over a year later during the series finale.

Teyla takes mental control of the hive queen with the (unknown) help of her unborn child. She frees the others, but the queen realizes what's going on and attacks the baby. Sheppard shoots the queen just in time, and they destroy the cloning facility by ramming it with the hiveship. The team returns to Atlantis in their jumper, while Todd goes his own way in a dart.

What they discover is a secret Wraith cloning facility. This was how the Wraith managed to overwhelm the Ancients with superior numbers, but it's been inoperational for the last 10,000 years due to it's excessive power requirements. Now with Todd's captured [=ZPMs=], the Wraith have gotten it up and running again.

Cut to Atlantis, one week later. The long range sensors have picked up Todd's signal, drifting in deep space hours from the nearest Stargate. They find the hiveship abandoned, its crew dead and fed on. Whee, free hiveship! The only person who can fly it, however, is Teyla - whom Sheppard has grounded due to pregnancy.

It is the very end of the battle above Asuras, this time from the Wraith perspective. Aboard Todd's hiveship everyone is delighted to see the replicator mass descend through the planet's crust - but Todd holds the ship, awaiting the return of three darts. Their mission: to retrieve unguarded [=ZPMs=] before Asuras goes critical.
