-->'''-- Teal'c'''
Teal'c begins to suffer from strange dreams in which he lives an ordinary life as a human firefighter named "T" -- or alternatively, a human firefighter has dreams of being an alien called "Teal'c". As he continues to experience two seemingly parallel lives, it becomes increasingly difficult for Teal'c to determine which scenario is the reality and which is fiction.

* CatapultNightmare: Happens at the beginning of the episode, with "T" waking up from a nightmare where he's about to be operated on by Apophis.
* ChekhovsGun: Jacob reveals that the Tok'ra have developed a modified version of the tretonin used on [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E10Cure Pangar]] that can be used to provide Teal'c and Bra'tac with an immune system in lieu of a symbiote.
* ContinuityNod:
** [[Recap/StargateSG1S4E4Crossroads Shaun'auc]] appears in the "firefighter" reality as Teal'c's wife, Shauna.
** Fraiser mentions that a Jaffa deprived of their symbiote for an extended period of time will often [[Recap/StargateSG1S5E2Threshold have their life flash before their eyes]].
* CrucifiedHeroShot: Teal'c gets one when the camera pans out to show him and Bra'tac as the sole survivors among dozens of slaughtered Jaffa.
* CuckooNest: Doesn't involve an asylum, but the basic premise is the same, with Teal'c switching back and forth between his "normal" life at the SGC and a reality in which he's a human firefighter and becoming increasingly confused about which one is real. As it turns out, they're both fictional, and in reality Teal'c is slowly dying on another planet as he shares his symbiote with Bra'tac.

* HeroicSacrifice: A non-lethal variant, with Teal'c giving up his symbiote to keep Bra'tac alive, paralleled in the firefighter dream by "T" donating his kidney to "Brae".

** Daniel says the lines "you're just gonna have to trust me" and "that's a promise" during his appearances in Teal'c's firefighter dream, and later repeats both when he visits the real Teal'c in the infirmary after his ordeal.
