Why This Must Be Read: This story is an episode tag to Threshold and a companion piece and sequel to Phoenix E's Blind Spot. Biblio carries forth the intensity of the Daniel and Jack friendship from the first story as Jack and Daniel try to work out how they feel about what has happened with Teal'c. A lot of feelings about many things from previous episodes are brought out in the course of this story, so it brings some resolution or continuity to many things that were left open-ended or simply hanging on the show. (The references to Secrets, Forever in a Day, and Absolute Power are particularly relevant and powerful.)

Even though we really didn't see Jack and Daniel have these types of conversations on the show, I have to believe that they did have such conversations now and then because they had a certain understanding of each other and knew things about each other that had to come from somewhere. I also believe that they did have that sort of "knowing without speaking" thing at times, though not in the form of telepathy, but just from a deep understanding of each other. This story shows us how and why they understand each other so well.
