Dr. Beckett and Dr. Alison Porter stay behind in the lab to go through the research while Sheppard joins Major Anne Teldy and the rest of her team, Sgt. Dusty Mehra and Capt. Alicia Vega, as they explore the surrounding forest and make their way to a nearby village.

They find the village abandoned, except for one man who appears to have been watching them. He tells Sheppard and the rest of the team about the curse believed to be haunting the village. People had begun to disappear from the forest around the village leading the villagers to eventually abandon the village entirely. When it starts to get late, the man seems overly eager to leave and Sheppard decides to let him go.

The team returns to collect Carson Beckett and Alison Porter from the research lab and they all decide to stay overnight in the village, but when Sheppard and the others go out into the forest to explore further, they discover the hybrid lifeforms have been released from their stasis pods.

In the thick fog and mist, the Atlantis team must fight off a nemesis they can’t see to survive.
