Enterprise

Season Four

Storm Front (Part 1)

After destroying the Xindi doomsday weapon, Enterprise returns to Earth to find themselves in the middle of World War II. Captain Archer, who is thought to have died in the Xindi weapon explosion, is a prisoner of the Germans. An unknown alien race from the future is among the Germans who, in this timeline, have invaded the United States and captured the eastern seaboard -- including New York City and Washinton, DC. Archer is being transported by the Germans in a truck and manages to escape when American resistance fighters attack the convoy. He ends up being tended to by a black woman holed up in her apartment in Brooklyn. The Germans' attitude towards African-Americans is the same as their attitude toward the Jews -- that they are inferior. On Enterprise, Daniels suddenly appears, badly wounded and near death. He manages to tell T'Pol that the temporal war is to blame for the change in history. The future as they knew it no longer exists. He tries to tell T'Pol that to restore the timeline "he" must be topped, but Daniels goes into unconciousness before he can explain who "he" is. Later, the Suliban agent, Silik, appears in engineering and steals a shuttlepod. Tucker and Mayweather beam down to try to track down Silik. They find the shuttlepod, which was badly damaged by laser fire from Enteprise, but not Silik. Meanwhile, back in the city, Archer and the female companion manage to enlist the aid of three thugs to track down one of the aliens. The alien tells Archer that they are trapped in this time and the Germans are helping them build a time conduit so that they can return to the future. When the Germans close in on Archer's position, a fire fight ensues and the alien is killed. Luckily, Archer gains access to the alien's communicator and manages to contact Enterprise to beam him and his female friend away to safety. Aboard Enterprise, Daniels awakens just long enough to explain to Archer that the leader of the alien contingent is a fanatic who does not believe in the temporal protocols that have so far protected history from disruption by time travellers. He is a dangerous element who must be stopped in order to restore the correct timeline. Daniels then dies. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Tucker and Mayweather are captured by the Germans and taken to the alien leader, who threatens to torture them in order to find out what they know about the temporal war.

Storm Front (Part 2)

Newsreel footage shows a triumphant Hitler touring the sights of New York City, which the Germans occupy in this altered timeline of World War II. Meanwhile, in an occupied Washington, DC, the German commander demands that the alien leader (named Vosk) live up to his part in the bargain between the two sides to help each other in their respective goals of conquest. Vosk, however, doesn't take too kindly to the German's demands, and threatens to erase the Germans from history. Later, Vosk's alien team tests their under-construction time machine, but a problem still exists and more work is needed on it. Tucker and Mayweather are prisoners of Vosk's people, and he contacts Captain Archer to set up a meeting in a remote wooded area. Vosk releases Tucker and Mayweather to Archer, and asks Archer to consider helping him to complete construction of his time machine, on the promise that Vosk would return Enterprise to its own time. Later, aboard Enterprise, Tucker and Mayweather tell Archer that they saw the time machine, but it's protected by an energy shield. But Dr. Phlox has already warned Archer that Tucker is really Silik in disguise. When he tries to escape, he's stunned by a security team and put in Enterprise's brig. Archer later visits Silik and the two agree to cooperate against Vosk, who is a greater threat to the timeline and the future as they know it. T'Pol studies schematics of Vosk's machine, which Archer had taken from Silik while he was unconscious, and finds a way to disable the energy field protecting the time machine. Archer and Silik, now disguised as an anonymous human, transport down and enlist the aid of the American resistance fighters to attack Vosk's compound. Archer and Silik enter the compound as the resistance fighters engage the German guards. In the process, Silik is shot to death by a German soldier. Meanwhile, Enterprise prepares to enter the Earth's atmosphere on a bombing run on the compound. But Vosk finds out about the attack and sends his squadron of phaser-equipped Stuka fighters to attack Enterprise. Just as Vosk steps into the now-activated time machine, Enterprise unleashes a volley of photonic torpedoes, destroying the machine, Vosk, and his alien comrades. Suddenly, a very alive and healthy Daniels appears to Archer and tells him that the timeline is resetting itself. Thanks to Enterprise's intervention, Vosk's and Silik's attempts to alter the future have been stopped, and everything is returning to the way it is supposed to be. Daniels thanks Archer for his help and sends Enterprise back to it's own proper time in the future. As a badly damaged Enterprise (from it's mission in the Delphic Expanse against the Xindi) approaches 22nd Century Earth, a fleet of Starfleet vessels comes out to greet the returning heroes and escort them back home.

Home

During a "welcome home" celebration at Starfleet Headquarters, Captain Archer remembers the 27 Enterprise crew members who didn't make it home safely. Later, Archer is in a local night spot and is greeted by the female captain-designate of the NX-02 starship. She tells Archer that Earth had been holding its collective breath waiting for news from Enterprise about its mission to stop the Xindi. Aboard the ship, T'Pol is packing for a trip to Vulcan. She invites Tucker to join her. Later, Archer is testifying to a board of inquiry on his actions during Enterprise's mission in the Delphic Expanse. After some tough questions from Vulcan Ambassador Soval about Archer not trying to save the demented crew of the Vulcan starship Seleya, Archer angrily tells Soval off, almost to the point of insubordination. On Enterprise, Reed tells Phlox about the xenophobic attitude that many humans have taken on after the incident with the Xindi. Despite this, Phlox wants to accompany them on a visit to Earth. Meanwhile, T'Pol and Tucker arrive on Vulcan and are greeted rather coldly by T'Pol's mother. A note is waiting there for T'Pol from her former-fiance, Koss. It soon becomes apparent that there's some tension between T'Pol and her mother, mainly because T'Pol has taken a non-traditional path for her life. On Earth, Archer and the female captain are mountain climbing in a deserted area. As the conversation continues, it becomes clear that Archer has developed a pessimistic attitude toward peaceful exploration of space. Because of the many conflicts that Enterprise has had to deal with, Archer is of the belief that Starfleet vessels should be "armed to the teeth" and ready for combat at all times. Back in San Francisco, Reed, Mayweather, and Phlox are in a bar, when a man approaches Phlox and starts to criticize his being on Earth after all the alien threats to the planet. Just as the man is going to become violent, Phlox scares away the would-be attacker by inflating his head (much like a blowfish inflates its body). Reed and Mayweather are surprised because they never knew Phlox had this ability. On Vulcan, T'Pol's fiance pays her a visit and tells her that he wants to pursue his relationship with her, although she has no desire to do so. In an effort to influence her decision, Koss tells T'Pol that her mother did not voluntarily retire from her position in the Vulcan Academy, but was forced to resign because T'Pol had brought discredit to all Vulcans by exposing the observation post they had to monitor the Andorians. He tells T'Pol that his father would be willing to help T'Pol's mother be reinstated if T'Pol would marry him. Back on Earth, Archer is awakened by a dream of being attacked on the mountain by a trio of reptilian Xindi. In discussion with the female captain, Archer admits that he's ashamed of some of the actions he was forced to take while in the Expanse, and decided to go mountain climbing to get away from all the accolades. He tells her that he feels he has lost his innocense, which he still sees in her. Archer eventually turns the corner on his guilt, and it's soon acknowledged that he and the female captain were once lovers, but that he had withdrawn from the relationship because he was her superior officer at the time. Since both are now captains, he appears to be willing to pursue the relationship. On Enterprise, Hoshi passes a physical exam by Phlox. She's recovering nicely from the parasites that the Xindi had injected into her body. Because of his earlier experience, he declines her invitation to dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Archer has completed his defriefing and the record of the hearing is classified by Starfleet. At the end, Archer apologizes to Soval for his earlier outburst against him. Soval accepts the apology and acknowledges that Archer's actions in the Expanse were justified given the critical situation he faced. Finally, back on Vulcan, T'Pol agrees to marry Koss in order to help her mother. Although T'Pol's mother has figured out that Tucker loves T'Pol and encourages him to act on his feelings, Tucker remains silent as T'Pol and Koss are married in a traditional Vulcan ceremony.

Borderland

Humans with super-human strength overpower the crew of a Klingon Bird of Prey, dump the crew into space, and commandeer the ship. Later, Captain Archer goes to a Starfleet prison to speak with Dr. Arik Soong (Brent Spiner), a genetics scientist who was imprisoned for trying to develop a race of genetically engineered humans known as "Augments." Archer tells Soong that a group of Augments kidnapped a Klingon vessel and now the Klingon Empire is ready to declare war on the Starfleet unless those responsible are brought to justice. Soong is released from prison to accompany Enterprise on a mission into a borderland region of space disputed by the Klingons and the Orion Syndicate. Soon after arriving at the borderland, Enterprise is attacked by two Orion raiders and nine members of the crew, including T'Pol, are transported out by the Orions. They are taken to an Orion colony to be sold as slaves. Enterprise, gives pursuit and Archer and Soong transport into the Orion processing facility to try to rescue the crew members. Soong is wearing restraining devices that Archer can control remotely. While they search for the crew members, who have been split up among different groups of slaves, T'Pol is sold at an auction and is awaiting pickup by her buyer. Archer locates her in the nick of time and the nine crewmembers are transported back to Enterprise. Meanwhile, Soong has managed to escape, requiring Archer to go after him and, eventually, transport himself and Soong back to Enterprise also. But the Orion raiders soon pursue Enterprise and knock out its warp drive. A Klingon Bird of Prey soon arrives on the scene and chases off the Orions. But this is the Klingon ship that had been commandeered by the Augments. They easily overpower Enterprise's security teams and hold Archer hostage until they can release Soong. They soon warp away on their plan to release thousands of Augment embryos that are being held in a Starfleet research facility known as Cold Station 12.

Cold Station 12

Flashback to 11 years earlier, where Dr. Arik Soong is with a small group of his young Augments and tells them that they belong to the future and that someday they'll set their siblings free. Back to the here and now, the grown-up Augments are preparing to attack Cold Station 12, the research facility where the embryos of thousands of Augments are being stored under high-level Starfleet security. Meanwhile, Enterprise finds the remote planet where Dr. Soong had raised the Augments. They also find "Smyke," a partial Augment who was left behind because he was different from the others. (Dr. Soong had been told by the Augments that Smyth had died.) Enterprise also finds evidence that the Augments had incubators, suggesting that they were planning to release and grow the embryos at Cold Station 12. Enroute to Cold Station 12, the Augments send out a fake distress call in order to capture a Denobulan medical ship, which they use to breach the station's security screen. The Augments overpower the security guard and soon are in the research lab, where they round up the scientists, including Dr. Phlox's friend, Dr. Jeremy Lucas. They torture Dr. Lucas for the codes to open the storage area where the embryos are being kept, but he steadfastly refuses. In the process, Malik, the leader of the Augments, exposes another scientist to deadly pathogens in an attempt to get Dr. Lucas to give over the codes. Enterprise eventually arrives at Cold Station 12, and Captain Archers, Dr. Phlox, and a security team beam in with Smyke. But the Augments still get the upper hand and soon has the away team as additional hostages. When Malik threatens to kill Phlox with the deadly pathogens, Dr. Lucas gives him the code to the storage area. Meanwhile, under Starfleet orders, T'Pol prepares to activate the station's self-destruct system, but the Augments again stop the attempt. In a last ditch effort, Enterprise attacks the station (which is located underground on an asteroid) with photon torpedoes. But the Augments still manage to escape in their Bird of Prey with the embryos. They leave the Enterprise away team and the station's scientists locked in the station with a deadly pathogen about to be released into the environmental system. In a parting shot, Malik kills Smyke rather than leave him to the same fate as the humans.

The Augments

Archer is in Cold Station 12's central core trying to stop the release of deadly pathogens. He manages to isolate the lab where the Starfleet personnel had been held hostage by the Augments, but there's no time to save himself. In a desperate escape attempt, Archer opens the hatch to the central core, causing decompression which ejects him into space. Enterprise beams him aboard, almost frozen to death, but still alive. After Archer is attended to and the Starfleet personnel are rescued from the station, Enterprise warps away in pursuit of the Augments. The Augments, still aboard their captured Bird of Prey, are headed to an area of Klingon space that Dr. Soong refers to as the Briar Patch. But Malik, the rebellious leader of the Augments, wants to make a stand and stop hiding from the humans. He wants to set in motion a plan to release the deadly pathogens he had stolen from Cold Station 12 into the atmosphere of a nearby Klingon colony, thus starting a war between the Klingons and Earth. Dr. Soong, however, completely opposes such action. Later, Malik and a group of followers decide to take matters into their own hands and lock him in his quarters. Persis, concerned about Soong's safety, helps him to escape from the Bird of Prey in an escape pod. When Malik finds out, he kills Persis -- the third of his fellow Augments he has killed in cold blood. Enterprise later comes upon the escape pod and rescues Dr. Soong, who now realizes that Malik and the other Augments are out of control. Deep in Klingon space, Enterprise is intercepted by a Klingon battle cruiser, but manages to escape with minor damage. They arrive at the Klingon colony just as Malik fires his pathogenic bomb into the planet's atmosphere, but Enterprise fires a volley of photonic torpedoes and destroys the bomb before it can enter the atmosphere. With Soong's help in targeting the most vulnerable area on the Bird of Prey, Enterprise disables the ship. But Malik activates the Bird of Prey's self-destruct system rather than surrender to the humans. Malik himself somehow manages to escape the destruction of the Bird of Prey and gains access to Enterprise, where he tries to kill Dr. Soong in revenge for what he has done. Archer saves Soong by shooting and killing Malik with a phase rifle. Archer promises to testify on Soong's behalf. Later, back on Earth, Soong is back in a Starfleet prison cell, where he concludes that since genetic engineering appears to be so fraught with danger that maybe he should instead pursue experiments in cybernetics.

The Forge

Admiral Forrest and Ambassador Soval are having a discussion in the Starfleet Embassy on Vulcan when a massive explosion erupts. Forrest is among the more than 40 persons killed. Enterprise is sent to Vulcan to investigate. Soval and the head of the Vulcan High Council come aboard to discuss the situation with Captain Archer. They tell him that a religious sect called the Syrrannites, who follow a corrupted version of Surak's teachings, is responsible. Later, Reed and Mayweather investigate the blast area and find an undetonated bomb. Their scans show the DNA of T'Pau, a member of the Syrrannites. The High Council sends its security chief to investigate, but Archer insists on performing his own investigation. After T'Pol receives an IDIC medallion from her mother -- a signal that she's in hiding with the Syrrannites -- Archer and T'Pol beam down to a desert area known as the Forge to search for the Syrrannites' hideout. The extreme conditions in the Forge begin to take a toll on Archer, and later a sehlat (a Vulcan bear-like creature) stalks them. A member of the Syrrannite sect comes upon them and chases the sehlat away and agrees to take them to the group's hiding place. But a severe sand-fire storm soon comes upon them, forcing them to seek shelter in a small cavern. As the storm grows stronger, the Syrrannite is struck by lightning and, just before he dies, transfers his katra to Archer. Meanwhile back on Enterprise, Dr. Phlox discovers that T'Pau's DNA was planted on the unexploded bomb and that someone else probably was the actual bomber. Soval reluctantly agrees to perform a mind meld with an unconscious survivor of the blast and finds that it was the High Council's security chief who planted the bond, not the Syrrannites. Back on Vulcan, Archer, with the knowledge implanted in his mind, leads T'Pol to the Syrrannite hiding place, where they are quickly surrounded and bound by the Syrrannites.

Awakening

The Administrator of the Vulcan High Council claims that the Security Chief who planted the bomb in the Starfleet embassy was secretly a Syrrannite. The Administrator also relieves Soval of his position as ambassador to Earth. Meanwhile, the Syrrannites take Archer and T'Pol to T'Pau, who is their leader now that Syran, the Vulcan who helped them in the desert, is dead. Archer is exhibiting strange behavior because of the mind meld with the Vulcan and has visions of Surak, who tells Archer that he is the only one who can show the Syrrannites and all of Vulcan the "right way." T'Pol's mother tells her that she joined the Syrrannites because of her growing disillusionment with Vulcan society. T'Pol, however, doesn't agree with her mother's course of action. Meanwhile, the Administrator becomes more and more belligerent against the Syrrannites, planning to bomb their encampment in the desert. Other Council members, however seem to think that a more moderate approach is called for. Later, T'Pau does a mind meld with Archer and confirms that he holds the katra of not only Syran, but also Surak (who had previously been in Syran's mind). T'Pau decides to perform the ceremony to transfer Surak's katra to herself, even at the risk of Archer's life. Archer, wanting to rid himself of the other personalities inhabiting his mind, agrees to the procedure. But the transfer is unsuccessful because Surak's katra refuses to leave Archer, who Surak believes is the one who must lead Vulcan on the right path to peace. Overhead, the Administrator orders Trip to take Enterprise out of Vulcan space, but Trip refuses to leave without Archer and T'Pol. Vulcan warships attack Enterprise, causing extensive damage. Soval, finally convinces Enterprise to withdraw. As soon as Enterprise has departed, the Administrator begins bombing the Syrrannite's underground compound with photon torpedoes. Surak appears again to Archer and shows him the location of a sacred artifact called the Kir'shara. Archer, T'Pol, and T'Pau go to retrieve it while the rest of the Syrrannites begin to evacuate their compound. Archer finds the Kir'shara and the three escape, but T'Pol's mother is not so lucky. Waiting back to make sure T'Pol is safe, she is injured in a blast and dies in T'Pol's arms after telling T'Pol that she is proud of her. On Enterprise, Soval tells Trip that the Administrator has plans to launch a pre-emptive strike against the Andorians -- a move that could start an instellar war involving Earth and other worlds. Enterprise warps away to Andoria to warn them of the impending attack by the Vulcans.

Kir'Shara

The Vulcan Administrator is intent on mounting a pre-emptive strike against the Andorians because of his belief that they are developing a weapon using Xindi technology to be used against Vulcan. But some members of the Vulcan High Council aren't convinced of this. Meanwhile, Enterprise is enroute to Andoria to warn them. Soval, who is aboard Enterprise, tries to contact Andorian commander Shran to open dialogue about the impending Vulcan attack. Shran comes aboard Enterprise to consult, but doesn't quite trust Soval's motives. In the Vulcan desert, Archer, T'Pol, and T'Pau begin to make their way to the Vulcan capital with the Kir'Shara, which contains the original text of Surak's teachings. T'Pol continues to be skeptical of the Syrrannites' motives and Archer's belief that his is carrying Surak's katra. Despite her skepticism, T'Pol agrees to a meld with T'Pau, who has memories of T'Pol's mother. Meanwhile, the Administrator sends a team of agents to find and kill Archer's group and destroy the Kir'Shara. Later, once Shran is back on his ship, he secretly transports Soval off of Enteprise and tortures him for the truth about the Vulcan's war plans, not believing that Soval is already telling the truth. Eventually, Shran stops the torture, finally realizing that Soval must be telling the truth. The Andorian fleet of five ships, along with Enterprise, finally warp away to intercept the hiding Vulcan fleet. On Vulcan, Archer's group is attacked by the agents sent by the Administrator. T'Pol is captured in the melee and Archer and T'Pau must flee for their lives. One of the agents had previously served with T'Pol and, rather then kill her, he takes her to the Vulcan capital, where the Administrator threatens to have her executed for treason. Meanwhile, a battle erupts between the Andorian and Vulcan fleets, with Tucker trying to put Enterprise between the two warring fleets. By now, Archer and T'Pau have reached the outskirts of the Vulcan capital and have to find a way to transport into the High Council's building. They eventually succeed and confront the Administrator with the existence of the Kir'Shara. When the Administrator lunges at the Kir'Shara, intent on destroying it, another Council member stuns him with his phaser and calls off the Vulcan fleet that's attacking the Andorians. Sometime later, Koss (T'Pol's husband) visits her aboard Enterprise. He tells her that he had helped Archer and T'Pau gain the entry codes for the High Council's building. He also releases T'Pol from their marriage, knowing that she had agreed to it only to help her mother regain her teaching position at the Vulcan Academy. On the planet, a Vulcan high priest succeeds in removing Surak's katra from Archer's mind. Soval later reports to Archer that the High Council has been dissolved and the new Vulcan government has agreed to let Earth conduct its space exploration policies without further Vulcan interference. In a dark corner of a Vulcan prison, a hooded man meets with the former Administrator and tells him that the efforts for reunification are not over -- the hooded man is a Romulan!

Daedalus

Dr. Emory Erickson, the inventor of the transporter and a long-time friend of Captain Archer's, comes aboard Enterprise to perform experiments towards the development of a sub-quantuum transporter that will allow tele-transportation across intersteller distances. He tells Archer that this technology could make starships obsolete. Later, Erickson's daughter, in a conversation with Archer, tells him that her father has taken the loss, 15 years ago, of his son very hard. It soon become obvious that Erickson is hiding something from the Enterprise crew. Later in the ship's armory, an energy force appears and, when touched by a security officer, the officer is killed instantly. Later in their quarters, Erickson's daughter appears distraught over what has happened and tells her father that their experiments caused the man's death, but Erickson is intent on continuing with his experiments. What he's really trying to do is to recover his son, who was lost in a transporter beam and is the energy force that appeared in the armory. Tucker becomes suspicious of something strange going on and tells Archer about it, but Archer refuses to stop Erickson's experiments. Later, the energy force appears again and a slight brush with it injures T'Pol's hand. But her tricorder scans reveal the truth about what the energy force really is. Archer confronts Erickson and he somes clean, explaining that the story of a sub-quantuum transporter was just a ruse to get aboard Enterprise so he could try to recover his son. Archer reluctantly agrees to help him, and orders Tucker and T'Pol to help Erickson. Eventually, Erickson is ready to try to recover his son using Enterprise's transporter, but the son's cellular structure is too deteriorated and he dies just moments after being beamed aboard the ship. Erickson takes comfort in the fact that at least his son is longer floating around in space in a disembodied state. Erickson and his daughter are later transferred to another Starfleet ship for transport to Earth to face charges for his deception about the real purpose of his experiments.

Observer Effect

Tucker and Hoshi are returning to Enterprise from an away mission to a planet where they found evidence of a long-abandoned Klingon encampment. Enroute, Tucker takes ill and Hoshi has to pilot the shuttlepod back. They're immediately placed in isolation and Dr. Phlox begins to run medical tests to try find out what's going on. Soon, Hoshi is sick also. Meanwhile, two alien entities have inhabited the bodies of Reed and Mayweather and are observing how the Enterprise crew deals with the situation. It soon become obvious that they have been observers of similar occurences with other species over a period of many thousands of years. Phlox discovers that Tucker and Hoshi have contracted a silicon virus. But because silicon and carbon-based human physiology are incompatible, he doesn't have much hope for the two. With T'Pol's help, Phlox finds out that a strong dose of radiation may kill the virus, but may also kill the patients. The alien entities alternately switch from Reed and Mayweather's bodies to those of Phlox and later T'Pol and Archer. In each case so they can get a more up-close view of how the humans are dealing with the crisis. At one point, a delerious Hoshi unlocks the isolation chamber and begins to wander through Enterprise's corridors, threatening to infect the rest of the crew. Eventually, Phlox and Archer come to the conclusion that there's no choice but to try the radiation treatment. They don EVA suits and bring their two patients to sickbay and begin the treatment. But both Hoshi and Tucker die, and Archer is infected in the process. The aliens finally reveal themselves to Archer. One is apologetic for having caused the deaths by not having warned Enterprise to stay away from the contaminated planet, while the other one wants to continue in the long tradition of their kind of observing without interfering with the other species. The aliens believe themselves to be superior to humans and most other species, but Captain Archer finally convinces them that without the attributes of compassion and empathy, they really aren't all that evolved. The aliens then return Tucker and Hoshi to life and allow Archer to place a warning bouy in orbit around the planet.

Babel One

The starship of Andorian Commander Shran is attacked, supposedly by the Tellarites, and is heavily damaged. With a core breach imminent, his crew has to abandon ship. Meanwhile, Enterprise has been assigned to transport a Tellarite delegation to the planet Babel for peace talks with the Andorians. Enroute, Enterprise receives Shran's distress call and picks up the few survivors. The sensor logs from the wreckage of Shran's ship indicates that the attacker was a Tellarite ship, but the Tellarite ambassador denies any involvement by their species. Soon, Enterprise comes under attack by what appears to be an Andorian ship. The ship continues its attack despite Shran's order that they call off the attack. Enterprise escapes before being heavily damaged, and T'Pol's review of the sensor logs suggest that the attacker was neither Andorian nor Tellarite. Enterprise, after making repairs, pursues the attacker's warp trail. They eventually find the ship, apparently dead in space and without any life support systems active. Tucker and Reed transport over in EVA suits to investigate. T'Pol's sensor readings show that the ship is of an unknown alien design, but it soon activates its systems and again begins to attack Enterprise, causing heavier damage. Tucker and Reed are stuck on the alien ship with limited oxygen. It soon is revealed that the mystery ship is under control of the Romulans and, because it is a prototype, they are intent on destroying Enterprise before the humans can gain any more information on this prototype. Meanwhile, Shran, still convinced that the Tellarites destroyed his ship, escapes from confinement and charges into the Tellarite cabin, holding them at gun-point. But T'Pol's further review of the sensor readings on the mystery ship reveal the true Romulan origin and the fact that it is equipped with holographic emitters and advanced weaponry that can allow it to mimic ships from many different species. Archer supposes that the Romulans are intent on stopping the Babel conference for fear that this will be the beginning of an interstellar alliance. Back on the mystery ship, Tucker and Reed finally manage to reach the bridge only to find that the ship is empty -- it is being remotely piloted by the Romulans from their homeworld.

United

Tucker and Reed are still aboard the remotely-piloted Romulan ship. The Romulans program it to appear mimic the Enterprise and attack and destroy a Rigellian transport, causing more interstellar tensions. The real Enterprise's crew develops a plan to try to locate and disable the Romulan ship, but the plan needs ships from all neighboring worlds to form a sensor grid. Archer begins working to try form such an alliance with the Andorians, Tellarites, and Vulcans. Meanwhile, Tucker and Reed get to the rogue ship's bridge, activate the environmental systems, and locate the warp drive's control panel. But the Romulans remotely lock Tucker in an access panel and begin to release radiation unless he agrees to reactivate the warp drive. On Enterprise, Shran agrees to work with Archer to find the rogue ship. But when Shran's mate (who had earlier been shot by the Tellarite Ambassador) dies, Shran challenges the Tellarite to a ritual duel to the death. On the Romulan ship, Reed manages to free Tucker by overloading a phase pistol and they try to work their way to a safe area away from the radiation. Back on Enterprise, in an effort to preserve the shakey alliance, Archer decides to stand in for the Tellarite in the ritual duel with Shran. Using a technicality in the Andorian laws, Archer wins the duel by cutting off one of Shran's antennas. Shran agrees that this satisfies the duel. Meanwhile, the Romulans are able to reactivate their rogue ship and prepare to have it warp back to Romulan territory. Before it does, Tucker and Reed, in a last-ditch effort to escape, eject themselves into open space in their EVA suits. By now, the alliance ships have found the Romulan vessel and begin to converge on that location, but the Romulan ship escapes attack with the alliance ships in persuit. Enterprise stops to pick up Tucker and Reed, before following the others. On the Romulan homeworld, the rogue ship is retrieved successfully and the remote-control pilot is revealed as being what appears to be an albino Andorian.

The Aenar

The Romulans have built a second drone ship and plan to send both to destroy Enterprise before Captain Archer can solidify the fledging interstellar alliance. Meanwhile, T'Pol, Tucker, and Dr. Phlox are developing a device to let T'Pol use her telepathic abilities to try to disrupt the Romulans' control of their drone ship. They have also analyzed the brainwave patterns that the Romulans are using to control their ship, and Andorian Commander Shran identifes it as that of an Aenar, an Andorian sub-species that lives in underground cities on the frigid Andorian homeworld. Archer and Shran beam down to Andor to try to locate and get the assistance of the Aenar. Shran falls in the ice cave and seriously wounds his leg, but the Aenar who have been monitoring the twosome's progress lend aid. The leader of the Aenar is surprised to learn that one of their kind is helping the Romulans, because the Aenar are a peaceful race. She supposes that the Aenar in question is a young man who disappeared about a year ago and that he might have been forced against his will to help the Romulans. Meanwhile, on Enterprise, T'Pol tests the remote control device, but it soon overloads her senses. The drain is just too much for her. On the planet, the young sister of the missing Aenar agrees to help Archer and Shran if it will lead to attempts to rescue her brother. By now, the Romulans have launched both of their drone ships to find and destroy Enterprise. On Enterprise, Tucker confides to Phlox that his feelings for T'Pol is making it hard for him to continue with his duties. Soon, they pick up a distress call from an Earth transport vessel and go to investigate. But what awaits them is a trap set by the Romulans. The Aenar girl donns the remote control device and tries to disrupt the Romulans' control. She's overpowered by her stronger brother, but they soon make telepathic contact and he's surprised to find that she's still alive. The Romulans had told him that all the Aenar had been killed and that he was the only survivor. He targets the two drone ships to attack each other. He is successful, but dies in the effort. Enterprise returns Shran and the Aenar girl to their homeworld. Later, in a surprise move, Tucker requests a transfer to the new starship Columbia, and Archer reluctantly agrees after being unable to dissuade Tucker.

Affliction

A group of Klingons bring another Klingon into a laboratory and forcibly inject him with an unknown substance. Later, Enterprise arrives at Earth to participate in ceremonies for the launch of the USS Columbia (NX-02) under command of Archer's female friend, Captain Hernandez, and for Tucker's transfer from Enterprise to Columbia. T'Pol goes to Tucker and questions him about his reasons for leaving, but he denies that he's leaving because of his feelings for her. In the evening, Hoshi and Dr. Phlox are walking the streets of San Francisco, when they are attacked by three hooded men and Phlox is abducted. Later, Archer has T'Pol perform a mind meld on Hoshi to try to gain more information about the attackers. It turns out that they were Rigellians. Meanwhile, Reed is summoned to meet with the head of a secret intelligence agency (Section 31?), who has a mission for him related to Phlox's kidnapping. At the Klingon laboratory, Phlox is introduced to a Klingon scientist who is trying to find a cure for a virus that is rampaging through the Klingon worlds. The Klingons kidnapped him so he could help the Klingon scientist. On the Columbia, Captain Hernandez also is curious about Tucker's reasons for transferring from Enterprise, but he's still not forthcoming. Sometime later, a Klingon Bird of Prey attacks Enterprise and four vaguely Klingon-looking men beam aboard to sabotage the ship's warp drive. One of the attackers is stunned by Enterprise security and left behind as the other three escape. Later, T'Pol finds evidence that Reed knew that the Klingons were involved in Dr. Phlox's kidnapping but hid this fact from Archer. When Archer confronts Reed with this information, he refuses to explain his actions and Archer has him thrown in the brig. Meanwhile at the Klingon laboratory, Phlox soon discovers that the Klingons had found some of Dr. Soong's Augment embryos in the debris of the Bird of Prey that the Augments had hijacked, and the Klingons used this material to try to produce genetically-engineered Klingon Augments. But something went wrong and now a genetically-altered variety of a common Klingon virus is infecting millions of Klingons. On Enterprise, Archer and T'Pol soon make a discovery of their own -- the attacker who was earlier captured is fully Klingon, although he has no head ridges and looks almost human. By now, pressure is beginning to build in Enterprise's warp drive to the point where a core breech is imminent, despite every attempt to power down the warp drive.

Divergence

To help restore Enterprise's runaway warp drive, Enterprise and Columbia have to execute a tricky maneuver at warp speed where the two ships come to within 50 meters of each other belly-to-belly so that Tucker can shimmy along a grappling cable attached between the two starships. (Transporting at warp speed had not yet been perfected at this time period in Starfleet history.) Once he's safely aboard Enterprise, Tucker and T'Pol perform a shutdown and cold restart of Enterprise's warp drive. This purges the Klingon virus that had been introduced into the ship's warp drive software. At the Klingon lab, the Klingon scientist goes to Phlox, who had been beaten by the Klingon commander for not helping to perfect the Klingon Augments, and tells Phlox that his experiments show they can stop the virus at stage one. This would cure the infected Klingons of the deadly virus and still not allow them to develop any enhanced physical or mental attributes. But they have to keep this aspect of their plan from the lab's commander. Back on Enterprise, Captain Archer, with T'Pol's help, gains access to Reed's personal log and finds that he has been communicating with a member of a secret intelligence unit within Starfleet. Archer confronts Reed with this information and Reed finally comes clean that, before joining the Enterprise crew, he had been a member of this intelligence unit. The head of the unit ordered Reed to keep information about his mission from Archer. Reed also tells Archer about the existence and location of the Klingon biogenic lab. Enterprise and Columbia head there at warp speed in hopes of finding and rescuing Phlox. Meanwhile, the Klingon High Council has decided to destroy the lab rather than risk any more contamination of Klingon worlds, and a trio of battlecuisers are also on the way to the lab. Enterprise arrives first, and Archer transports down to the lab, where Plhox is desperately trying to finalize the antedote to the virus. But he needs a human host to generate the necessary antibodies. Archer is conveniently there and volunteers to be Phlox's subject. Meanwhile, the Klingon ships arrive in orbit and a fire fight ensues between the battlecruisers and the two Starfleet starships. In a desperate effort to stop the Klingon attack, Archer and Phlox come up with the idea of transporting the Augment virus into the lead Klingon battlecruiser, prompting the ship's commander to call off the attack so as to give Phlox the opportunity to complete developing the antedote. Sometime later back on Enterprise, the Klingon scientist who had been working with Phlox tests negative for the virus and reports to Phlox that the virus has been successfully stopped throughout the Klingon worlds. But the physical changes in the infected Klingons, most notably the disappearance of their prominent head ridges, will cause some cultural repercussions for generations of Klingons yet to come. Later, Reed is in his quarters and contacted again by the head of the intelligence unit, but Reed cuts him off, saying that he wants nothing more to do with the unit and that his only superior officer is Captain Jonathan Archer.

Bound

Enterprise is enroute to the proposed location of the first starbase, when it's intercepted by an Orion ship. The Orion captain asks Captain Archer to come aboard to discuss a possible alliance where Starfleet will be allowed to mine a magnasite-rich planet and pay him (the Orion) a royalty in return. During the meeting on the Orion's ship, he has three beautiful slave girls dance for Archer and the away team. The humans are completely mesmerized by the three women. Archer later returns to Enterprise with the three women in tow -- a gift from the Orion captain. Despite T'Pol's mocking that, as far as she knows, Starfleet hasn't legalized slavery, Archer welcomes the three women aboard. In no time, all of the men aboard the ship are entranced by the Orion women and seemingly being controlled by them. It soon becomes obvious that the women have a secret agenda aboard Enterprise. Meanwhile, Tucker and his replacement as Enteprise's Chief Engineer (remember, Tucker was transferred to the Starship Columbia) are at odds with each other because of the possibility that Tucker may be returning to Enterprise. Eventually, the Orion women's plan is revealed. They manage to get the ship's crew to sabotage Enterprise's engines and she's stranded in space when the Orion ship returns and attacks. Enterprise's weapons systems are soon also disabled and the Orion attaches a grappling cable to Enterprise and begins to tow her to Orion space. But T'Pol and Tucker (who has developed a telepathic link to her) are immune to the Orion women's manipulations. They develop a plan to take control of Enterprise and cut the grappling cable. Tucker and T'Pol soon have the Orion women in the brig and transported back to the Orion ship. The Orion captain later apologizes to Archer, revealing that, contrary to the common belief that Orion women are slaves to the men, it is the women who really are in control. Later, Tucker and T'Pol acknowledge that they have feelings for each other, with Tucker informing her that he has already requested a transfer back to Enterprise.

In a Mirror, Darkly (Part 1)

April 2063: First contact occurs on Earth as a Vulcan ship lands near a group of humans led by Zephram Cochran. But Cochran kills the Vulcan leader and the humans board and loot the Vulcan ship, setting up the beginnings of the Mirror Universe.

January 2155: Dr. Phlox is testing a torture device designed by Lt. Reed by torturing a Tellarite in the presence of Enterprise's senior officers, including Captain Forrest. It's soon evident that First Officer Archer has designs on taking command of Enterprise, and he leads a mutiny that ends up with Forrest in the brig and Archer taking over the bridge and Forrest's woman, Hoshi. Archer orders T'Pol to work with Tucker to install a Suliban cloaking device that's been in storage. He also orders T'Pol to track down a particular warp signature that he's interested inand to set an intercept course. Eventually, Enterprise enters Tholian space and intercepts a small Tholian ship, beaming its sole occupant aboard. Archer wants information from the Tholian on the location of a Terran ship the Tholians have captured. When the Tholian refuses to cooperate, Archer has Phlox torture him for the information. Later, T'Pol and Tucker are installing the cloaking device, when an energy surge blows critical circuits in engineering. Archer believes that Tucker was responsible for the surge and has him placed in Reed's torture chamber. But later, T'Pol reveals to Tucker that she mind melded with him and conditioned him to sabotage the cloaking device. Now, she gathers her followers and frees Captain Forrest from the brig. Soon, he's again in command and it's Archer's turn to feel the pain of the torture chamber, with Forrest wanting the codes to remove a lockout placed on Enterprise's controls. But Enterprise is on computer control and can not be stopped until it reaches it's programmed destination deep in Tholian space. Archer reveals to Forrest that he has information that the Tholians have managed to capture a Terran ship from the future of an alternate universe. Soon, they come upon an asteroid where the 23rd Century starship USS Defiant (a sister ship to Captain Kirk's Enterprise) is being dismantled by the Tholians and their comrades, the Gorn. Forrest has an assault team, including Archer, T'Pol, and Tucker, beam over to Defiant to take control of the ship. But the Tholians soon mount a massive attack on Enterprise, encircling her in an energy web. With the destruction of Enterprise almost assured, Forrest orders the Enterprise crew to abandon ship. The Tholians begin to fire on the escape pods and soon also destroy Enterprise. Archer and his assault team are left on their own aboard Defiant.

In a Mirror, Darkly (Part 2)

With the destruction of Enterprise, Archer, T'Pol, Tucker, Reed, and Mayweather are stranded aboard the Defiant, trying to activate its systems before the Tholians can stop them. They succeed, and pick up the surviving Enterprise escape pods before making their escape. Archer decides to join the Starfleet force fighting against the rebels, and Defiants warps away in that direction. Later, Archer and Hoshi look up the ship's database entries on their counterparts in the alternate (our) universe. But they're interrupted when the ship drops out of warp. Tucker reports that someone has stolen some devices needed for the warp drive to function. Archer has one of the Tholian's worker slaves brought to him for interrogation. The alien man, under threat of vaporization, tells Archer that perhaps their slavemaster - a Gorn - may be hiding in the ship's service conduits. Archer takes an assault team to investigate. Reed is mortally wounded by the Gorn, but Archer manages to kill the Gorn after T'Pol immobilizes it by increasing the gravity in the deck plating where the Gorn is standing. Later, T'Pol talks with Phlox, trying to convince him that Archer is xenophobic and will eventually kill all non-humans aboard the ship and, therefore, he must be stopped. She points out to Phlox that in the alternate universe, all species are equal members of the Federation, suggesting that such a Federation could be formed in this universe to replace the evil Terran Empire. Eventually, Defiant comes upon the starship Avenger, which is under heavy attack from Tellarite, Andorian, and Vulcan ships. Defiant's superior firepower easily destroys the attackers. Archer welcomes Admiral Black to beam aboard to tour Defiant; but when it becomes obvious that the Admiral doesn't intend to give Archer permanent command of Defiant, Archer vaporizes him and also takes control of Avenger. T'Pol later meets with Soval, who is Avenger's first officer, to also convince him to help her stop Archer, who is becoming increasingly power hungry. Meanwhile, Hoshi convinces Archer that he should get all non-humans off of Defiant. But Archer keeps Phlox aboard because he trusts his alien doctor. But Phlox soon secretly goes to engineering and begins to deactivate the warp drive. Tucker, however, stops him. With all systems restored, Archer opens fire on Avenger, destroying it. He now heads towards Earth, intent on deposing the emperor and placing himself on the throne of the Terran Empire. Later, rejoicing with Hosi at his good fortune, he's surprised to find himself gasping for breath after drinking a glass of poisoned wine given to him by Hoshi. When Defiant finally arrives at Earth, Hoshi, now in command of Defiant, announces to Starfleet that they must stand down all weapons and bow down before their new leader, "Empress Sato."

Demons

At an unknown location, a well-dressed man and a doctor check on the status of a baby who has been ill. The baby has Vulcan ears. On Earth, the Enterprise bridge crew attends the opening session of a conference to form a "coalition" of planets. Earth's representative, Minister Samuels, seems to take all the credit, in his opening remarks, for all of the interstellar cooperation occurring of late, ignoring the efforts of the Enterprise crew. After the ceremony, Mayweather is approached by a young woman, someone he had been involved with and who is now a news reporter. Suddenly, a disheveled woman breaks into the assembly hall and goes to T'Pol, telling her that "They're going to kill her" before she falls dead. The woman is identified as Dr. Susan Corey, a well-known medical technician. In the woman's hands is a small vial that contains a hair. Dr. Phlox's examination reveals that the hair is from a 6-month old baby girl who has the DNA of T'Pol and Tucker. But T'Pol insists that's she's never been pregnant, so the original of the baby is a mystery. Minister Samuels tells Archer that Earth has become very xenophobic while he's been away and that news of the hybrid baby could derail the conference, so this development must be kept secret. Archer asks Reed to get in touch with his Section 31 contact to see what this super-secret intelligence agency might know. The contact tells Reed that an isolationist group called Terra Prime is involved. Meanwhile, on the Moon, the well-dressed man and the doctor discuss the implications of what Dr. Corey may have told the Enterprise crew. Back on Earth, Archer approaches Minister Samuels, who used to be a Terra Prime member, to request a copy of Starfleet's intelligence report on Terra Prime. Samuels agrees to give Archer the information within a couple hours. Later, on Enterprise, Mayweather is surprised to find that the news reporter is on board doing a story about the ship and its crew. Mayweather is initially cold with her because of their past, broken relationship. But they soon warm up to each other and end up in bed. Soon after, they're interrupted by Archer and a security team, who take the woman into custody because she's actually a Terra Prime spy who, T'Pol learned, had bugged the universal translators used by the conference attendees. Archer later sends Tucker and T'Pol to the Moon to infiltrate Terra Prime and try to find out what's going on. But they're quickly identified and captured by the well-dressed man, who reveals that his name is Paxton. (Paxton is the son of Colonel Green, a controvertial figure who led a genocidal campaign on Earth after World War III.) Paxton reveals to Tucker and T'Pol that he plans to return control of Earth to humans. He activates controls in the command center of his mining base on the Moon and it is revealed to actually be a huge space ship, which lifts off and warps away to Mars, with Enterprise in pursuit. On arriving at Mars, Paxton's ship lands and links into a powerful laser weapon (called a verteron array) that was built there by Earth's government to destroy comets posing a threat to the planet. Paxtons aims the weapon at the Moon, pulverising a large area. After this show of force, he contacts Earth's government and demands that all aliens leave the planet and the solar system.

Terra Prime

As Paxton continues his broadcast to Earth, he show pictures of the human-Vulcan baby, saying that this baby represents the greatest threat to Earth's future. Ambassadors at the peace conference are alarmed by the threats, with the Andorians suggesting that maybe humans aren't really ready for a step like this. On Enterprise, Archer sets up a plan to send a small assault team to Mars to take control of Paxton's ship and the verteron array. In a shuttlepod, the team, headed by Archer himself, is piloted by Mayweather into the tail of a comet that has been targeted to impact Mars' polar regions as part of a terraforming project. At one point, the shuttlepod's systems mysteriously shutdown and Mayweather has to take over manual control to pilot the shuttle out of the comet debris and land a safe distance away from Paxton's ship. Meanwhile, aboard his ship, Paxton forces Tucker to help him refine the targeting of the verteron array, upon threat of killing T'Pol if Tucker doesn't help. But when Tucker attempts to sabotage the targeting mechanisn, Paxton has him thrown into confinement. Meanwhile, T'Pol, who has been caring for the baby and monitoring its vital signs with a tricorder, discovers that Paxton is hiding something. She later confronts him with the fact that he has a degenerative disease that is usually terminal and correctly guesses that he's been using Rigellian gene therapy to keep himself alive. She calls him a hipocrite for using the very alien technology that he wants all other humans to do without. As Paxton begins to power up the verteron array to fire it at Starfleet Headquarters, aboard Enterprise Hoshi has to make the call on whether or not to destroy the array (which would kill thousands in the adjacent Utopia Colony on Mars) before Paxton can fire it. But Archer's assault team breaks into Paxton's control room in the nick of time and stops the firing sequence. In a fight with Paxton's supporters, Reed and Tucker are stunned and the firing sequence restarted. Archer and Paxton fight hand-to-hand as the seconds to weapons firing continue to count down. Archer is too late and theverteron array fires its powerful beam at San Francisco, but Tucker's sabotage has thrown off the targetting just enough that the beam hits San Francisco Bay instead of Starfleet Headquarters. Paxton is eventually overpowered and taken into custody. Back on board Enterprise, Mayweather discovers that the shuttlepod system failure was the result of sabotage, and a young Enterprise crewman is identified as the culprit. The crewman later commits suicide after telling Archer that he's sorry for what he did. Mayweather's female friend turns out not to have been the Terra Prime spy she was thought to be, but a Starfleet Intelligence agent who had come aboard Enterprise to try to find the real spy -- the young crewman who had sabotaged the shuttlepod. Later, although T'Pol had suspected, Phlox later has devastating news for T'Pol and Tucker. Their baby, which T'Pol has named Elizabeth in honor of Tucker's sister, is dying. Phlox tells them that the cloning techniques that Paxton used to create the baby were flawed. The situation is hopeless for Elizabeth, but properly done, there's no reason why a human-Vulcan baby could not survive. T'Pol and Tucker are left to grieve their personal loss.

These Are the Voyages... (Series Finale)

It is 6 years after the Terra Prime incident, and Enterprise is returning to Earth after completng her 10-year exploratory mission to be decomissioned. At the same time, Archer is going to present a major speech at the signing of the charter to form the instellar alliance.... At this point, Commander Will Riker, of the 24th Century Enterprise (NCC-1701D), stops the holodeck program he's running. Riker later returns to the holodeck to pick up the story.... The Andorian Shran, who was thought to have been killed 3 years earlier, contacts Archer to enlist his help in rescuing Shran's young daughter from Rigellian criminals who have kidnapped her. They demand that Shran deliver a precious gemstone to them in return for the child's release.... Later, Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi are in Ten Forward discussing the historic holodeck program that he has been participating in at her suggestion. Riker is concerned because his former commanding officer aboard the USS Pegasus (see the ST:TNG Season 7 episode "The Pegasus") will soon be coming aboard Enterprise-D to begin a search for the Pegasus, which was lost with 71 crew members during a secret mission some years earlier. Riker was aboard Pegasus and knows what happened. But that information has been kept secret all these years by the nine survivors. Now, Riker is unsure of whether he should tell Captain Picard about Pegasus' mission. Troi believes that Riker's viewing of the holodeck simulation of the final mission of the original starship Enterprise will help him to make the right decision.... Archer agrees to help Shran and sets up a mission to Rigel 10 to rescue Shran's daughter. Because Shran never had possession of the gemstone that the kidnappers want, T'Pol will fabricate a high quality fake to be used in the rescue attempt. Initially, the exchange seems to be going along nicely, but to ensure that Shran will be allowed to leave unharmed, Archer has a surprise for the kidnappers. When they have possession of the fake gemstone, it's triggered to emit a high intensity flashing light that blinds the kidnappers. A fire fight ensues and the Enterprise crew escapes safely back to the ship.... By now, Enterprise-D arrives at the asteroid in which the Pegasus has been entomed since its disappearance. Riker goes to Troi's quarters and reveals that the Pegasus was testing an experimental cloaking device, even though the use of cloaking devices aboard Federation ships was banned by the treaty between the Federation and the Romulans. Pegasus' then-captain, now an admiral, wants to restart those experiments even though this would be a breach of the treaty. Riker is still torn as to whether he should tell Captain Picard about this.... Back in the holodeck, Riker takes on the role of Enterprise's enigmatic "chef" so that he can have the opportunity to talk with each of Enterprise's crew members about the relationship between Tucker and Archer. Hoshi, Mayweather, Phlox, and T'Pol all reveal that Tucker and Archer had a very close relationship. Riker then jumps ahead in the holodeck program to when Archer and Tucker were toasting to the successful completion of Enterprise's mission and to "the next generation" of star voyagers. Suddenly, T'Pol reports from the bridge that Enterprise is under attack and that there has been an intruder alert. Archer and Tucker are soon confronted by four of the Rigellians who had kidnapped Shran's daughter. They demand that they be immediately taken to Shran, and are ready to kill Archer and Tucker if they don't cooperate. Fearing for Archer's life, Tucker agrees to take the attackers to Shran. But Tucker really sets up a booby trap to kill the four Rigellians, although he knows that he may be killed himself. In the aftermath of the explosion, Tucker is in sickbay with extensive injuries and Phlox working feverishly to try to save his life. But Tucker dies of his wounds. Later, Archer goes to Tucker's quarters, where T'Pol is packing his personal effects to be sent to his parents. She confides in Archer that she misses her mother and that she knows she will also miss Tucker. Riker then jumps backwards in time in the holodeck program to when he spoke with Tucker while playing the role of "chef." Tucker confirms to "chef" what the other crew members had told him -- that he trusts Archer implicitly and would confide in him regardless of the situation. Jumping ahead again in the program, Riker and Troi observe the final few minutes before Archer goes off to present his speech to the peace conference. Archer and T'Pol briefly recollect all they've been through and, after giving her an affectionate hug, Archer goes to meet his historic destiny.... Riker shuts down the holodeck program and tells Troi that he's decided to come clean with Captain Picard.

In the final scene of "Star Trek: Enterprise," we see the Enterprise-D fly away from the asteroid field as Captain Picard's voice begins --- These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise, her continuing mission ... --- we now see the original Enterprise NCC-1701 as Captain Kirk's voice continues --- to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations ... --- finally, the Enterprise NX-01 flies off into the distance as Captain Archer concludes --- to boldly go where no one has gone before. Fade to black.
