* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: Played for laughs when Ba'al is helping Carter and Jacob reprogram the weapon, since he's perfectly aware he's not really a god, has long since dropped the act around those who know better, and is just trying to get a rise out of them (although in fairness, he is at the time talking to them through a hologram from the bridge of his ship, surrounded by loyal Jaffa).

Thus, they realize there are places where the writing can be turned around and the wall is protected by a simple combination lock system.

->''"I am not done, Daniel Jackson. Far from it. In fact, we have only just begun."''
-->'''-- Replicarter'''

Carter and Jacob attempt to reprogram the [[Recap/StargateSG1S8E16ReckoningPart1 Dakara superweapon]] to wipe out all the replicators in the galaxy at once, but realize they may have to accept help from Ba'al to get the job done in time. Meanwhile, Replicarter continues to probe Daniel's mind for the knowledge of the Ancients, and the replicators manage to infiltrate the SGC.

Last appearance of Replicarter and the replicators in general.
----
!!"Reckoning, Part 2" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs: The replicators manage to invade the SGC.
* BadassBoast: Daniel gets two in quick succession after he manages to mentally overpower Replicarter.
-->'''Daniel:''' Trying to leave? Sorry. A little more time in Danny's world.
-->'''Replicarter:''' My brethren will not stop. You cannot control them.
-->'''Daniel:''' Not yet. But ''I'm learning''.
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Daniel vs. Replicarter, taking place entirely inside Daniel's mind.
* BlatantLies: Replicarter promises that the memories and feelings she shares with the ''real'' Samantha Carter are not meaningless to her, and that she won't invade Earth or kill Daniel. She then proceeds to do both.
* ButtMonkey: Lampshaded when O'Neill discovers that the ever-unfortunate Siler has managed to get himself trapped, preventing him from leaving the base.
-->'''Reynolds:''' We have a problem, sir. Six SGC personnel are trapped on level eight. They're cut off from the emergency escape hatch.
-->'''O'Neill:''' Siler?
-->'''Reynolds:''' Siler.
-->'''O'Neill:''' Oh, Siler... Let's go.
* ConcealmentEqualsCover: Averted; Siler and a handful of airmen take cover behind an overturned table when O'Neill and Reynolds blow the blast door of the room they're trapped in, but a huge chunk of door becomes embedded in the table anyway, almost taking Siler's head with it.
* ContinuityCavalcade: When all the stargates are dialed at once, there's a brief montage showing the gates on several worlds the team have visited over the series being activated.
* ContinuityNod:
** Carter mentions that the [[Recap/StargateSG1S7E21LostCityPart1 Ancient repository]] was found in a monument similar to the one on Dakara.
** Replicarter shows Daniel [[Recap/StargateSG1S6E22FullCircle his attempt to kill Anubis while he was ascended]], an event he previously had no memory of.
** Carter states that they need Ba'al's help since he's the only person they know of who knows how to [[Recap/StargateSG1S7E9Avenger20 activate all the stargates at once]].
* DullSurprise: After Daniel manages to overpower Replicarter he takes control of the replicator swarm and causes them all to freeze in mid-attack, prompting some wonderfully understated reactions from O'Neill and Reynolds.
-->'''Reynolds:''' Huh.
-->'''O'Neill:''' That's odd.
-->''(Both shrug and resume firing)''
* EnemyMine: Ba'al and the Carters make no attempt to hide their disdain for each other, but nevertheless resign themselves to working together in order to modify the Dakara superweapon to target the replicators.
-->'''Carter:''' No-one's trying to deny that we're mortal enemies here. Can you do it or not?
* GuiltFreeExterminationWar: The heroes' plan involves wiping out all the replicators in the galaxy in one fell swoop, but since the replicators are voracious mechanical bugs bent on wiping out organic life, nobody really lingers over the ethical considerations.
* HiveMind: Replicarter admits that she is only able to process the vast amount of Ancient knowledge held in Daniel's subconscious my distributing it among her "brethren".
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Daniel turns Replicarter's MindRape against her, using the opportunity to dig around in her mind while she's busy in his. This allows him to briefly take control of the replicator hordes, which in turn buys Carter and Jacob enough time to finish modifying the superweapon and wipe them all out for good.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: Replicarter runs Daniel through with her [[BladeBelowTheShoulder sword arm]] once she's done with him.
* KilledOffForReal: Replicarter is destroyed for good once the weapon is activated.
* MartialPacifist: Tolok doesn't want to engage in direct combat with Ba'al's forces as it will mean the deaths of more Jaffa.
* NotSoOmniscientAfterAll: Played for laughs when Ba'al is helping Carter and Jacob reprogram the weapon, since it's implied that he's perfectly aware he's not really a god and is just trying to get a rise out of them.
-->'''Ba'al:''' ''(pointing to a panel)'' This one.
-->'''Jacob:''' How do you know?
-->'''Ba'al:''' I am a god. Gods are all-knowing.
-->'''Jacob:''' ''(to Carter)'' Selmak can't work like this. Neither can I.
-->'''Carter:''' Just try it.
-->''(Jacob pushes the panel down; the wave pattern moves closer to their target)''
-->'''Jacob:''' Lucky guess.
** Later:
-->'''Ba'al:''' Now this one.
-->''(Jacob pushes another panel and this time the pattern moves further away from the target)''
-->'''Carter:''' That one took us in the wrong direction.
-->'''Jacob:''' "All-knowing", huh?
* NukeEm: When the replicators manage to override the SGC self-destruct, O'Neill gives the order to evacuate the base and drop a nuke down the silo once everyone is clear.
* OldSchoolDogfighting: Between Ba'al's forces and the replicator ships in orbit around Dakara.
* OmnicidalManiac: Carter speculates that Anubis intends to use the superweapon to wipe out all life in the galaxy and re-create it to his liking.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Ba'al openly sneers at the idea of working with a ''female'' Tau'ri.
* RememberWhenYouBlewUpASun:
-->'''Carter:''' This may not be possible, you know.
-->'''Jacob:''' Come on, Sam. It can't be any harder than blowing up a sun.
-->'''Carter:''' You know, you blow up ''one'' sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
* TheStarscream: Ba'al conspires with the heroes to stop Anubis, despite having been working for him all season.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: While the Carters are forced to work with Ba'al.
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: Daniel is fatally stabbed in the chest by replicarter, and then [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill the replicator ship he's on disintegrates in space after the weapon is activated]].
* VillainExitStageLeft: When the free Jaffa manage to board Ba'al's ship and surround him, he merely laughs and activates a wrist device to beam himself away.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Replicarter gives a speech like this to Daniel, offering to help him access the Ancient knowledge in his subconscious so they can learn the secrets of the universe together.
* WhamEpisode: The replicators are wiped out for good and the Jaffa rebellion lands a final victory in overthrowing the Goa'uld empire.
