Episode Summary & Review
Summary
T’Pol talks Archer into joining the shore leave party on the planet Risa, where he encounters a troubled alien beauty; Hoshi learns a new language from a local man; a pair of aliens take advantage of Trip and Reed; Dr. Phlox’s hibernation is disrupted by Mayweather’s injury.
Our Take
A lightweight beach episode that mostly gets by on charm. The Trip and Reed subplot is the highlight, playing their desperation for a vacation romance for solid laughs, while Archer’s mysterious woman storyline is thinner and more predictable than the show seems to realize. The Phlox medical B-plot is a nice oddity. Nothing special, but it’s an easy, pleasant hour.
