Well, I hadn't rewatched this series in years, but this episode is unexpectedly one of those "moments" which you weren't exactly prepared to rewatch during a continuing global pandemic...

"Hot Zone"

Warning: Spoilers
Atlantis scientists are unwittingly exposed to a deadly virus that claims a few unfortunate souls...and looks set to do the same to everyone else who comes in contact with it.
"Hot Zone" is notable the first episode where we see real friction between the military commander Major Sheppard and the scientific chief Dr Weir. Obviously competing interests and two strong personalities butting heads. Was bound to happen eventually. A little inter-team conflict makes things interesting.
As another reviewer noted, this is a strange episode to watch in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic - rewatching in 2024 - but ultimately one of the better episodes in Stargate: Atlantis' first season.
