The Lost Boys is episode 10 of season 2 of Stargate Atlantis, first aired in 2005.
Ford resurfaces: pumped full of Wraith enzyme, he has formed his own gang of addicted warriors and is planning a big strike, destroying a hive from within. To secure the cooperation of his former friends, he kidnaps them and forces the enzyme on them. The team discovers the lost lieutenant's cult... and the lucidity crumbling behind the charisma.
Why it matters to the mythology
Ford as a warlord: season 1's lost boy returns as a chemical guru, and his crazy plan launches the hive two-parter.
The review
Ford's return hurts the way it should: the sunny kid of the first year has become a messianic junkie, and Rainbow Sun Francks finally gets a part worthy of him, charm intact and a broken gaze. The setup, the team forcibly drugged and dragged into a madman's plan, neatly reverses the balance of power. You can feel the noose tightening toward the hive. An effective first part of a foretold tragedy.
