Summary

On Simarka, SG-1 meet the Shavadai, a tribe from a people that resemble Earth's Mongols. They are expert riders and powerful warriors, who obey a strict code, but the latter give women only a secondary place and rights much inferior to those of men.

Captain Samantha Carter, who wears men outfit, is threaten to death when she first meets Mughal, the chieftain of the Shavadai, and is only spared because she saved the life of his son, Abu. Carter is again endangered when Abu kidnap her in order to exchange her for the hand of Nya, daughter of the powerful Turghan, a foe of Mughal's. Transaction goes wrong and Carter ends as the warrior chieftain's property.

But she is willing to escape, though she is also sympathetic with Nya and Abu, who are only hoping for love. Carter helps Nya fleeing from her father, and is saved by O'Neill and SG-1. But Carter's experience is not yet finished: Turghan caught his daughter trying to escape and she will be stoned to death, unless a warrior challenges Turghan. Carter is willing to take her chance, and she will have to prove she is equal to any men - or she shall die.
