S3E6 – The Real World
Dr. Elizabeth Weir wakes up in Willoughby State Hospital, only to discover that her experiences in Atlantis over the past two years were believed to be delusions resulting from a car accident that claimed her fiancé’s life. Under the care of her psychiatrist, Dr. Adam Fletcher, she grapples with the shock of this new reality. Major General Jack O’Neill and her mother, Katherine Weir, assure her that there is no Stargate Program or lost city of Atlantis.
Meanwhile, back on Atlantis, the team is concerned for Weir, who is in a coma. In reality, she is infected with Asuran nanites, acquired during an attack by Niam. Dr. Carson Beckett attempts to eliminate the nanites by injecting Wraith cells into Weir, hoping the nanites will destroy them, making them vulnerable to an Electromagnetic pulse. The procedure is only partially successful, leaving Weir’s fate in her own hands. Despite the insistence that her time in Atlantis was a delusion, Weir is convinced that her reality lies in the experiences she had on the distant planet.
