Why This Must Be Read:
The second half of her "Menace Duology", the story stands on its own as a fabulous episode tag to Season 5's "Menace." What makes it unique is that it is told from Janet's point of view. We have the chance to see here that when the awesomeness of SG-1 breaks down, there are people to help put them back together again. Here, Janet is the great mediator-the one who wasn't involved with the group dynamic and politics of SG-1 and can be the person to whom people seek a dry shoulder when the going goes right past tough to downright miserable.

Excerpt:
Janet glanced at her watch. "And this would have an hour ago or more?" she demanded.

The pause this time was longer. "A little under an hour. Look, it wasn't anything serious, or—"

"Or you'd have brought him in yourself? Or at least asked. . . ?" Janet took a deep breath and tried to keep the accusation out of her voice. Then she remembered O'Neill needling Daniel while she stitched the latter's scalp, and she let him have some of her anger. "He looked like he'd been hurt, and you left him injured, asked no questions, and didn't make sure that anyone saw him to the infirmary?" She didn't add: and now you feel guilty. Good.
