Ep 12. Epiphany

In the twelfth episode of the second season of Stargate Atlantis, titled "Epiphany," the team finds themselves stranded on a planet with no way back to Atlantis. As they search for a solution, they come across a village that seems to be abandoned, but soon discover that the inhabitants have simply retreated underground to escape the deadly radiation that now covers the planet's surface.

As the team navigates the underground tunnels in search of a way to contact Atlantis, they begin to experience strange visions and hallucinations. These visions seem to be tied to a mysterious crystal that they discover, and they soon realize that the crystal's power is affecting them in unexpected ways.

As they continue to explore, they come across a group of survivors who have been living underground for many years, and who have adapted to the radiation in ways that the team couldn't have imagined. But as they learn more about the survivors' way of life, they begin to question whether it's truly worth living in fear and isolation, or whether there might be a way to overcome the radiation and reclaim their planet.
