With four episodes to go, things have to start ramping up and wrapping up right?

Alan McCullough delivers Infection which first aired on 5 December, 2008. Trouble seems to be brewing when a Wraith cruiser arrives in orbit. But there is no communication coming from it at all. What’s going on?

McKay (David Hewlett) finds a corrupted ship’s log from Todd the Wraith (Chrisopher Heyerdahl) but it’s message is unclear. So Sheppard (Joe Flanigan), Ronon (Jason Momoa), Teyla (Rachel Luttrell) and McKay take a puddle-jumper to investigate.

There are life signs aboard… are the Wraith hibernating? So the team is going to have to go aboard.

Todd got his hands on some of the virus that will stop the Wraith’s need to feed, but something has gone wrong, an infection has spread across his ship. They went into hibernation before the virus kills them all.

Atlantis is faced with a moral quandary. They could help the Wraith, or lie about helping them and wipe them all out with this new variation of the treatment. What are they going to do? And what happens when some of the accompanying marines start to disappear and the ship starts changing around them?

To help them out, they may need to revive Todd. And how is that gonna go?

Things get violent quickly, and there may be no way out, even as Keller (Jewel Staite) works to figure out a perfect cure.

The team needs to get off the ship before it tears itself apart or they are killed by sick Wraith, and what about Todd? is his story done?

Carl Binder gives us a Jennifer Keller story with Identity. It first aired on 23 December, 2008.

Where’s Keller? That’s the question when an alien presence takes up residence in her body. Everyone is confused by her behaviour, and it definitely causes some problems in the McKay/Keller relationship. Will they be able to find her and restore her to her body?

And what does the being, named Neeva (Dawn Olivieri) who has become Jennifer want from Atlantis?

One of the firs thing she does when arriving on Atlantis is stab Zelenka (David Nykl) and when she then has to prepare to operate on him, she has no clue what to do. Will Atlantis be able to help find wherever Keller is?

To help figure things out, there is the convenient arrival of the always welcome Carson Beckett (Paul McGillion)?

We find out what is going on… remember those stones used in SG-1? They make an appearance here, and they got triggered by accident. So where in the big wide universe is Jennifer Keller? And will they find her in time?

It’s a fairly standard episode, we’ve seen this story before. And it doesn’t do much to move any of the character or narrative arcs forward.

And now… there’s only two episodes left in the series…
