Why This Must Be Read: Penknife treats us to a marvelous episode tag to Hathor, as Sam and Daniel eat takeout and discuss the ramifications of what happened during Hathor's rampage through the SGC.

There is self-deprecating humor, and almost painful honesty, and wonderful characterization. The twist in perception here is perfectly Daniel, especially with the parallels he draws. And Sam is the perfect friend - no sugarcoating the situation, but just being there, with the promise that they'll both be there for each other in the future.

No episode tag to Hathor could ever be a really happy one, but Penknife gets this one just right.
