Horrifying Discovery
Full episode can be found here.

When a Traveler team fails to meet up with a group of refugees, John sets off with a team to examine what’s going on. To their shock, the village has been destroyed and the majority of the men have been slaughtered, torn apart like a savage beast did it. Evidence leads to another Pegasus village, and investigation proceeds. John and Alicia begin to form a real friendship, while Ronon and Dusty finally begin a relationship. John sees that his relationship with Sam is still very complicated, but there’s really not much he can do about it.

Disconcerting
Daniel and Teyla do some negotiating once they find the village responsible, and in the end, what actually happened was that while on Atlantis, the destroyed village’s women became used to the idea of independence, and decided to leave, when the men didn’t want to and tried to hold them down as is their custom, they asked for help from another village that came to ‘rescue them’ The men were torn apart as is the custom in that village to ‘free the spirite” and not allow any wraith feeding. John is disgusted, but he can’t really do anything about it. He and Sam continue their unhealthy relationship and it’s obvious that while they care about each other, there are problems. He also grows closer to Alicia along with the other marines.
