After an Ori Prior is told the free Jaffa on planet Kallana refuse to convert, he demonstrates the Ori power to resist all fire by establishing an impenetrable dome of unprecedented energy. Given this military challenge, General Landry eagerly agrees to exorbitant, hedonistic (mainly food) demands from Ba'al's former junior Goa'uld inventor, Nerus, who promises to help defeat this Ori threat while praising the 'superior' Tau'ri power, and regretting the absence of most original SG-1 members; only Carter rejoins shortly after his arrival. Vala's warning against such collaboration seems to come true as Nerus merely advises launching maximum fire on the dome, then triumphantly-ironically thanking them for thus assisting an otherwise impossible, unspecified feat.
