They involve time travel and an alternate timeline. They were originally intended to be the show's series finale (like "Lost City" of the previous season), but became the eighth season finale after the series was again renewed.

Plot

Part 1

News of Catherine Langford's death reaches Daniel Jackson at Stargate Command. After her funeral, Daniel receives a large number of documents and artifacts relating to the Stargate program from Langford's personal collection, and from one book is able to learn the former location of a Zero Point Module in Ancient Egypt. Jackson and Carter persuade Jack O'Neill to use the time travel capabilities of the Puddle Jumper to travel back and take the ZPM before Ra learns of its existence; however, the mission goes wrong, resulting in the creation of an alternate timeline in which the Stargate itself was never discovered.

In this timeline, the alternate versions of Daniel and Carter ("Alt-Daniel" and "Alt-Carter") have never joined the SGC, and Alt-O'Neill likewise. Alt-Teal'c is still the First Prime of Apophis.

The original SG-1, back in Egypt 3000 BC, when they realised that they couldn't return to the future without causing significant changes, instead bury the Zero Point Module at the location where the Stargate was originally found in 1928 AD. They also vacuum seal Daniel Jackson's video camera in a canopic jar. On this they record everything that is true from their timeline (recent political events, Presidents, personal details), and also explain who they are (SG-1), about the SGC, the Stargate, the Goa'uld, and give various conditional instructions, like 'if in your timeline you haven't found the Stargate, you will find it here'. The plan is that in the future this videotape will be played and with any luck their alternative selves can save them.

The original Daniel also left a tablet inscribed with a dialect of Egyptian that only Alt-Daniel can read, detailing that the original SG-1 instigated a successful rebellion against the Ra of 3000 BC. However, this caused him to leave Earth with the Stargate, which is why no Stargate was found in the alternative 1928.

When the tape is found, George Hammond heads the investigation into it. At what is not yet the SGC, Alt-Daniel and Alt-Carter are called in from poor jobs when they are found to star on the tape. By examining it, they manage to find the original (Alt)-Puddle Jumper and the second Antarctic Stargate. Once this is done, a team is readied to go through the Stargate to recruit Alt-Teal'c, under the instruction of the Daniel and Carter on the tape. Alt-Daniel and Alt-Carter are, however, not going to be on this team.

Part 2

The scientists working on the recovered Alt-Puddle Jumper cannot make it work because they don't have the Ancient Technology Activation gene. Alt-O'Neill is called in and he makes it work. He will also lead the team, in this ship, through the Stargate to find Alt-Teal'c. The team is called "GateShip 1" (GS-1, a take on SG-1, and an in-joke of McKay's name for a Jumper in Atlantis
' pilot), and Alt-O'Neill agrees that Alt-Daniel and Alt-Carter are to join them.

On Chulak, GS-1 are caught and imprisoned in the same cell and the same way seen in the pilot of the series, "Children of the Gods". There, Alt-Teal'c defects to their cause to help them escape, but Alt-Daniel is infected by a Goa'uld and is killed by Teal'c. They escape in the Alt-Puddle Jumper, but are chased and damaged by Death Gliders. The only way they can survive is to Time-Travel. They travel back to 3000 BC, and then use the Stargate to pass from there to Ancient Egypt, where the original versions of SG-1 are stranded, and where Ra is still alive and ruling.

We discover that SG-1 in fact attempted a rebellion (which was what changed the future so much), and that Carter, O'Neill and Teal'c were executed when it failed. Daniel survived, and meets with Alt-Carter, Alt-O'Neill and Alt-Teal'c. He has not yet made the tablet detailing their second successful rebellion attempt because it hasn't yet happened. This means that his current plans with the underground of the local populace are destined to succeed, however they lead to the Stargate being removed from Earth by Ra. Thus what they must do is execute the rebellion as well as securing the Stargate. That will lead to the future being fixed, as it will lead to the timeline of the future being equal to the original timeline of Daniel, rather than of the dead Alt-Daniel.

Ultimately, they succeed in doing this, but not before Alt-Carter and Alt-O'Neill fall in love and kiss. Lastly they leave the videotape for the SG-1 of the future to find, telling them never to go back in time. However, they also leave the ZPM but destroy the time machine. The Alt-SG-1 and Daniel from the original SG-1 (of 3000 BC) live out the rest of their lives there.
