Even with Telchak's device in their possession, it will still take the SGC time to develop a countermeasure -- time they and the System Lords don't have as Anubis' campaign continues.

This is averted by the end of the episode, when O'Neill realizes the truth about what happened and promises to make a recommendation that Burke be given a better assignment.
* ThrownOutTheAirlock: A variant where Bra'tac rings the Kull warrior out of the cargo ship as it takes off from Anubis's base, though they're still in the planet's atmosphere at the time.
* VillainousRescue: An inadvertent example, as Anubis shows up to drag his lieutenant away just as he's about to blow Jacob's cover.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Burke gives his opinion on O'Neill and Daniel after nonchalantly saving them from a zombie:
-->'''Burke:''' What's with the guy from ''Evil Dead''?
-->'''O'Neill:''' Um...
-->'''Burke:''' Classified?
-->'''O'Neill:''' Yeah.
-->'''Burke:''' ''(laughing)'' You guys are into some crazy crap, man!
* YouAreInCommandNow: Carter takes command of the mission to Anubis's base while O'Neill is in Central America. He commends her on a job well done at the end of the episode.
* YouHave48Hours: Hammond tells O'Neill at the beginning of the episode that the US government has been given 72 hours to pay a ransom for Daniel and Lee before they're executed -- meaning that O'Neill has the same amount of time to find and rescue them, since the government has no intention of paying.
