Why This Must Be Read: Jack helps Daniel learn how to face - or possibly, not-face - the aftermath of Hathor. This one hurts, but the bleak humor and dark edges from both of them suits all too well, and it's not difficult to picture Jack and Daniel dealing with events like this... over and over again.
He's beginning to think that they're just going to sit there in silence until Daniel has to sleep, but eventually Daniel turns away from the still image to look at Jack. He makes a small noise of frustration and then says "I don't understand. I nearly broke out of it." He looks ridiculously hangdog about it. Rape victims, Jack remembers from those lectures back in the day, often blame themselves.
"And then she put out some more of whatever it was and put you under again," he replies solidly. "Nothing you could do."
"But I nearly did," Daniel says softly. "I was going to push her away. I remember that. Almost the only thing I do remember." He's looking searchingly at Jack, like Jack will be able to tell him what he did wrong, how he could have saved himself.
"Look, Daniel," Jack replies, still hoping that Daniel will be able to drop it, just move on, "she hypnotised us. You can only push that so far. She asked you to do something against your basic instincts and that woke you up so she upped your dosage." It had made for interesting viewing. Either Daniel was mentally a lot tougher than he looked, or his repugnance towards the Goa'uld was a more basic trigger than he would have thought. Either way, good to know.
