-->'''-- Vala Mal Doran'''
After [[Recap/StargateSG1S9E1AvalonPart1 completing Merlin's tests at Glastonbury]] and gaining access to his treasure, Daniel and Vala decide to test an Ancient communication device and find themselves in another galaxy, their consciousnesses inhabiting the bodies of a couple named Harrid and Sallis.
First appearance of Dr. Carolyn Lam and first mention of [[ReligionOfEvil the Ori]].

!!"Avalon, Part 2" provides examples of the following tropes:
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: Daniel cradling Vala's charred body after she's burned alive, and the uncharacteristic tenderness between the two of them after she's resurrected, are the first indications that they're actually starting to care about each other beneath all the sniping.
* BoldlyComing: Vala suggests that the real reason for the SGC is to meet women.
-->'''Mitchell:''' She has a point, sir.
-->'''Landry:''' I've been thinking I need to get out on an offworld mission or two.
* BookSafe: Daniel and Vala find a book with a hole cut out of the middle to hide the communication stones in the house they end up in.
* BurnTheWitch: Vala is chained to an altar and burned alive when the administrator decides that she's possessed after she neglects to recite a prayer over her tea.
* ChekhovsSkill: After Mitchell pulls the sword from the stone, he ends up having to fight a holographic knight, and states that he took fencing lessons in college. He then proceeds to get his ass kicked, and admits that he ''failed'' fencing.
* ContinuityNod:
** Daniel and Vala use the communication stones that previously connected [[Recap/StargateSG1S8E15CitizenJoe O'Neill and Joe Spencer]] to travel to the Ori galaxy after retrieving the terminal from Merlin's treasure stash at Glastonbury.
** Daniel states that the ascended beings in ''his'' galaxy believe so strongly in free will that [[Recap/StargateSG1S8E18Threads they won't even intervene to prevent that galaxy from being destroyed]].
* DeadpanSnarker: Dr. Lam establishes herself as such in her debut episode.
* DeathIsCheap: Vala is resurrected by the Prior not five minutes after being killed.
* DescendingCeiling: The episode picks up right where the previous one left off, with Daniel, Vala, Mitchell and Teal'c trying to complete Ancient puzzles before they're crushed to death by the ceiling.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Vala is burned to death for forgetting to say a prayer, though by her own admission swearing at the administrator's wife after the fact probably didn't help.

* HeroicSecondWind: Mitchel gets one when he's nearly defeated by the holographic knight, flashing back to his post-crash recovery before shoving Teal'c away and finishing the job himself.

* MundaneSolution: Subverted; Dr. Lee can't disconnect Daniel and Vala from the communication stones when their physical bodies start to crash and Mitchell makes as though to shoot the terminal, but Lee prevents him from doing so, pointing out that they have no idea what effect that might have and that it could very well make the situation ''worse''.
* NayTheist: Fannis states that given the power of the Ori he doesn't doubt that they are gods, he just thinks they have some seriously questionable ethics.

* UndercoverAsLovers: Daniel and Vala pretend to be married to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to themselves in the Ori galaxy, since the people whose bodies they're inhabiting are a married couple.
* UnusualEuphemism: When Vala tries to explain what she said to offend the administrator's wife so much:
-->'''Vala:''' I was trying to politely explain what was going on and then his wife started screaming and accusing me of being overcome, at which point I believe I suggested she might want to think about procreation... with herself.
* WorthIt: Mitchell's reaction when the treasure appears, after he's narrowly avoided death by descending ceiling and holographic knight.
* YourMindMakesItReal: Vala dies in the infirmary when her consciousness-in-Sallis is burned, establishing that even though their physical bodies aren't actually in the Ori galaxy, she and Daniel can still die there.
