Summary:

While on desolate and ruined planet SG-1 investigate and find an ancient and powerful device. As Carter begins to examine the device a gust of wind blows through the room just as there is a bright light and Carter losses conciseness. Sg-1 immediately heads back through the gate so Dr. Fraiser can examine Carter. Dr. Fraiser determines that she is suffering from overworking, exhaustion and stress and urges her to take time off. Carter insists that she is fine and that she eagerly wants to get back to the work of figuring out the alien device they found.

Ok, just consider what you have been through in the past few years. You have had a Tok'ra symbiote die in your brain, your memory has been stamped and your entire conciseness has been transferred out of your body into a computer and back again and that is just for starters. - Dr. Fraiser

After her exam Carter heads to the mission debriefing where Gen. Hammond orders her to take some time off. Carter is not sure what to do with the time off, as she really has nothing to do outside the S.G.C and say so to Col. O'Neill. Reluctantly Carter heads home for a couple of days of rest and soon finds she has nothing to do. It's on this time off that she meets a strange man who seems to appear out of nowhere and is able to walk through solid objects and able to enter Carter's house without her knowledge. He proceeds to tell her that he has been watching her since the planet and that he was the one who caused her to black out and that he followed her and SG-1 through Stargate and back to Earth. He also tells her that the reason he was watching her and following her was because he wanted someone to talk with and that he loved her.

My name is Orlin I am from the planet you just visited I followed you back through the Stargate - Orlin

Carter immediately calls the S.G.C and Col. O'Neill to some and investigate the situation and find out what the alien Orlin wants and if he is a threat. They begin a surveillance of Carter's house by placing camera around her house to catch any sign of Orlin. They monitor her house for a couple of days and find no evidence of Orlin and Gen. Hammond recommends that Carter get a physiological evaluation.
