After another close call with the Wraith on a scouting mission it has become apparent that it is too much of a coincidence given the size of the galaxy and the Pegasus gate system. The suspicion is raised and the finger pointed at the Athosian contingent of the city and despite concerns by Sheppard it is Weir who decides to investigate each of the natives and look for signs of a collaborator.
A solution may have been found with the discovery of a large area of land on the planet and the Athosians offer to settle there and build a community with an assurance of access to the gate when required, this will prevent them from providing any intel to the Wraith but on the flipside it could just as easily clear their name totally. The source of the information leak is however discovered and it is an Athosian and an opportunity arises to lay a trap and capture a Wraith for interrogation and study.
Suspicion is one of those episodes that has most of the main characters at each others throats, not literally but certainly it divides how the humans view the Athosians and while the reasoning had some logic there were quite a few assumptions being made. The discovery of the cities gates to the jumper bay is however a game changer, it allows for the defence of the city with the aircraft as well eventually solving the problem of long term food supply and a permanent home for the Athosians.
Sgt Bates is a bit of a dick though, ultimately he’s right but his reasoning is based more on emotion and the old chestnut of outsiders always being the scape dogs yet Halling accepts the situation with grace and style which really makes the humans of Atlantis look like immature children. All in all not a bad episode and the capture of the Wraith opens up a good story line in episodes to come.
