Speculation as to how Scott, Eli and Chloe get back to Destiny?
Spoiler:
The simplest explanation is when Destiny’s FTL drive cuts out they redial the gate and simply go through the gate. I think this scenario is too pat to make a satisfying conclusion.
What I would like to see is they gate back to the planet that has the downed alien spaceship and attempt to repair it. While Eli attempts to make sense of their systems Chloe discovers that as she studies the readouts she can read their language and understand their technology. They speculate that the thought transfer device that she was subjected to must have worked both ways and have transferred some of the alien’s knowledge to her. They disarm the alarm device that had notified the aliens of Rush’s presence and then proceed to fix the ship. The ship takes off and Scott pilots the ship to rejoin Destiny which the ship’s sensors have shown is currently stopped in the void. That scenario would be cool but may be a bit of a stretch to swallow.
Another possible one would be to again return to the alien ship and discover that Destiny is stopped in the void. They then proceed to remove the ship power supply which luckily happens to be portable and return with it to the gate closest to Destiny. They connect it to the gate and use it to augment the gate’s power extending its range and allowing it to connect to Destiny and boom - they are home. If they wanted to get past the whole portable part they could add that it was lucky that Eli and Chloe were able to modify the anti-gravity floor plating of the ship into a sled to transport the device with.
