SG-1 visit Argos where Daniel delivers a woman's baby and the team are invited to a festival hosted by the beautiful, happy people who inhabit the planet and celebrate when the sun is shining, but fall asleep as soon as it sets. The life span of this civilization is just 100 days as they age very rapidly, a trait O'Neill inherits after being seduced by an Argosian woman. The team head back to base to try and find a cure for this trait and discover that microscopic robots in the blood stream are responsible. These robots were implanted into the Argosian by a Goa'uld they once worshipped. But how do the team turn the robots off, and will they be able to find out how in time?
