eace following Queen Death's defeat, Dr. Daniel Jackson arrives in Atlantis to indulge in some real archaeology. Naturally, things don't go according to plan.

Convinced that an Ascended Elizabeth Weir saved his life, Dr. Rodney McKay argues that she must have escaped her replicator body in order to ascend. No one believes him, but when rumors reach Atlantis of a woman with no memory who calls herself 'Elizabeth', Rodney is determined to track her down.

"I'm just saying the two things I didn't want in my day were dinosaurs and fire!" Rodney said, unslinging his own P-90 and cradling it as he ran.

"They're not dinosaurs, McKay."

"Birds are essentially dinosaurs, any paleontologist-"
