This? This is fantastic. I love ep tags that explore repercussions and this story does that in spades. The timing to explain the lack of communication, Charlie's uncertainty, the interaction with Jacob - all delicious!

And this: I am afraid that to be a good tok’ra, you must often be a horrible person. We are not an honorable people.

Heh, yes. What a great summation of the Tok'ra.

Off to rec this. :)
