Covenant

"Covenant" is the eighth episode of the eighth season of Stargate SG-1.

Synopsis
Alec Colson, a wealthy industrialist, intends on letting the public know of the existence of alien life after finding evidence on the Battle of Antarctica. Stargate Command attempts to keep him from talking.

Plot
Alec Colson, a wealthy and veritable aerospace entrepreneur claims to the world he possesses evidence of extraterrestrial life, effectively exposing Stargate Command's various exploits over the years. He seems harmless until he appears to produce a real Asgard at a press conference. The team discovers that Colson's company was one of the many tech companies that the SGC contracted to work on back-engineering alien technology, and that he was a key member in the production of the F-302 fighter-interceptor. As part of the SGC effort to sequence Asgard DNA, one of the subsidiary companies under Colson's direction was contracted for the work; after performing the process for the SGC, the company proceeded to secretly clone the Asgard, which was then presented in the press release.

Meanwhile, Colson is contemplating releasing information about Anubis' attack on Earth when suddenly, the Asgard clone, all of the cloning equipment, and Colson himself are beamed out, much to the surprise of his staff. At the SGC, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter reveals the truth about the Stargate program, and pleads with him not to reveal the truth, but the plan backfires, and Colson is more emboldened to tell his story. However, after an assassination attempt, as well as the suicide of Brian Vogler, one of Colson's most trusted employees, SG-1 discovers that The Trust has targeted Colson for assassination. Carter convinces Colson to hide out at the Alpha Site for his own protection, though he vows that someday the truth will get out.
