Episode Summary & Review

Summary

While dissension among Xindi ranks festers, Degra gets Archer returned to Enterprise. Archer considers compromising his morals to restore Enterprise’s warp capacity after a fleet of Xindi-controlled warships cripple the vessel’s engines. Sacrificing his ethics, he attacks an innocent alien ship to get their warp coil to repair the Enterprise’s engines and intercept the Xindi superweapon. Meanwhile, T’Pol grows increasingly volatile, prompting her to confide a troubling secret to Phlox. Trellium-D exposure led to her addiction, with withdrawal symptoms weakening her emotional control.

Our Take

Confident and engaging. The plot moves, the stakes feel real, and the hour flies by.
