Warning: Sarcophagus may cause callous behavior and/or excessive use of hair gel. 

The team traveled to a planet led by a 700 year-old man posing as a Goa’uld. He sustained his life by regularly using a sarcophagus, but he turned into a real sourpuss as a result. To avoid detection after overthrowing their former Goa’uld ruler, the locals continued to operate the planet’s naquadah mine and shipped away the raw ore. 

Daniel attracted the interest of a cute princess named Shyla. The rest of the team was not as lucky and were sent to work in the mine. As Sam grew weak, she had a vision she attributed to Jolinar that warned about the dangers of the sarcophagus. 

Shyla fell in love with Daniel, convinced him to try a new hairdo, and turned him into a junkie. He eventually agreed to marry her, but Daniel used the opportunity to free SG-1 and return to Earth. Once they were back home, it became apparent that Daniel was going a little kooky. 

After going through withdrawals, Daniel asked to return to the planet. The team believed they could help the miners and acquire a source of naquadah. Shyla apologized to Daniel and destroyed the sarcophagus. The wedding was canceled, which was a shame because they were an attractive couple.
