There's a huge resolution in this episode. Adria ascends. But it's a small episode: there are no galactic battles or super weapons. It's more on a human level: one on one.
There was a decent story element in Family Ties that served as foreshadowing of something in this episode. Vala said she had long ago disposed of the box holding the trinkets her father had given her. But she still had it. It meant she still had a place in her heart for her father. When she says Adria isn't her daughter, remembering that box reminds us Vala still thinks of Adria as a daughter.
People wonder what would happen if a Goa'uld took over another of the enemies. In this case, SG-1 showed it. The Goa'uld could control Adria. But could Ba'al, or one of the Ba'al clones, have kept it up long term? Who knows?
Adria is now ascended. Ba'al, while in Adria, confirmed the Ori were destroyed. Now what? Wait for the movies, because the last episode of SG-1, up next, doesn't resolve it.
Vala is upset she was exposed to radiation when she used the Sodan cloaking device. When she's told it was part of the planted memories, she's relieved. But she did use the Sodan cloaking device during the card/chip game. So she was exposed.
Colonel Reynolds makes other 304 captains, who were good at nothing but surrender, look like Captain Kirk. Reynolds is like a plastic piece of cardboard. He delivers his lines with no inflection. He's a wet noodle's wall flower.
Another Ba'al bites the dust. In fact, a lot more Ba'al's bite the dust. It's good to be clone, because then the SG-1 writers can kill you without repercussions.
