OUTSIDE BALCONY. Sam comes out to join John who has been gazing out over the ocean.
CARTER: There y’are.
SHEPPARD (gesturing at the view): Two moons!
CARTER: Actually, there are five. It’s just these are the only two visible to the naked eye.
SHEPPARD: Really?
CARTER: Yeah.
SHEPPARD: Huh! Heard you and Rodney got us re-connected to the Intergalactic Bridge.
CARTER: Yeah. General Landry was understandably relieved to hear from us.
SHEPPARD: You know, in all the excitement, I never had a chance to congratulate you.
(Sam frowns at him, not understanding.)
SHEPPARD: Your promotion. You’re a full bird Colonel now.
(He casually sketches her a salute.)
CARTER: Ah. Thank you.
SHEPPARD: So, you stickin’ around?
CARTER: No. General Landry wants Doctor Lee and I to gate back, give him a full briefing on the situation here.
The Apollo’s gonna remain in orbit for the time being in case you need any assistance.
(John nods.)
SHEPPARD: Thanks for saving our asses back there from the bad guys.
It was a risky move.
CARTER: It was nothing compared to the risk that you and your team took.
Frankly, I’m amazed that you were able to pull it off.
(John grimaces.)
SHEPPARD: We had a lot of help.
CARTER (softly): Yeah. General Landry sends his condolences. He was deeply saddened to hear about Doctor Weir.
We all were.
SHEPPARD: We haven’t given up hope. If there’s a chance she’s still alive, I’ll find her.
CARTER: I know.
