==Summary==
  +
===Teaser===
−
Since [[Jonathan Archer|Archer]] is not in the [[22nd century]] any more (and therefore unable to save [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']]), [[T'Pol]] chooses to surrender the ship to the [[Suliban]]s to let them verify her claims. They don't find any traces of Archer, but they get their [[data disc]]s back (which have not been duplicated yet) and detect a [[temporal signature]] at Archer's last known location (the [[turbolift]]).
  
  +
[[Jonathan Archer]] has disappeared from the {{NX|Enterprise}} while it is under threat from [[Silik]], who demands to take him captive and doesn't believe he's gone. [[Sub-commander]] [[T'Pol]], now in command, chooses to allow the [[Suliban]] to board and verify her claim. {{Trip Tucker}} balks at the idea, but T'Pol deduces she doesn't have a choice.
   
  ⚫
===Act One ===
−
Back on [[Earth]], [[Ambassador]] [[Soval]] decides to send the [[D'Kyr]] to recover T'Pol since ''Enterprise'' failed to be at the rendezvous point on time.
  
  +
In the [[31st century]], Archer and [[Temporal agent]] {{dis|Daniels|Crewman}} are stranded, as there is no technology that could be used to send Archer back. Daniels is still struck by the situation, with Archer hounding him with questions. Walking through the rubble, Daniels notes the lack of a [[monument]] to the [[Federation]]. Explaining to Archer that this Federation didn't exist in his time, it must have simply "ceased to exist" at any time. They make their way to a library to find some answers. Oddly, the library is not filled with electronically-stored records as Daniels expects, but, rather, [[paper]] [[book]]s.
   
  +
On the ''Enterprise'', the Suliban search thoroughly every area of the ship. They do not find any trace of Archer, but they get their [[data disk]]s back (which have not been duplicated) and detect a [[temporal signature]] at Archer's last known location (the [[turbolift]]). Silik questions T'Pol but seems convinced she isn't lying. The Suliban have control of the ship now, Silik ordering the crew to [[quarters]].
−
In the [[31st century]], [[Daniels (Crewman)|Daniels]] gets even more desperate when he realizes that there is no technology that could be used to send Archer back and because of that, a monument to the [[Federation]] simply "ceased to exist". He recovers some confidence when Archer gives him his [[communicator]] and [[scanner]], saying that he will be able to make a device from these to contact ''Enterprise''.
 
   
  +
Back on [[Earth]], [[Ambassador]] [[Soval]] confronts [[Admiral]] [[Maxwell Forrest]] about the ''Enterprise'' being delayed three [[day]]s. Soval decides to send the ''[[D'kyr]]'' to recover T'Pol since the ''Enterprise'' failed to be at the rendezvous point on time. [[Commander]] {{dis|Williams|Commander}} asks if the ''D'kyr'' even detected them on [[long-range sensor]]s. Soval reluctantly reports that the ship was joined by several unidentified vessels and left sensor range. Soval assumes this behavior is intentional, and, since T'Pol would never agree with it, that she is being detained. Williams immediately objects to this, but Forrest is confident there's a good reason and encourages the ship to pursue.
⚫
The Sulibans have brought ''Enterprise'' to a nearby [[Suliban helix|helix]] and confine the crew to quarters. [[Silik]] is interrogating T'Pol to learn where Archer has gone, who helped him, etc. but realizes that she knows little. From his quarters, [[Charles Tucker III|Trip]] is able to set up a communication link between the [[senior staff]], and they plan an escape. When T'Pol gets back to her quarters, Archer contacts her and gives her instructions on how to bring him back. The crew then formulates a plan to take back the ship, save the captain and escape. However, the locks on their room doors can only be opened on the outside, so someone has to crawl through the air vents and [[Hoshi Sato]] is the only one small enough. Even though she is [[claustrophobia|claustrophobic]], she makes her way to [[Phlox]]'s quarters, where he has prepared some needles and she later comes upon [[Malcolm Reed]]'s room. However, her shirt catches on a hook. As she tries to get it off, she accidentally slips off &mdash; without a shirt. She opens the door, with [[breast|her hands over her chest]], telling Reed to not say what he is about to say and to get her a shirt. In the next scene, two Suliban find T'Pol at the imaging chamber, acting delirious, and are injected from behind by Reed and [[Travis Mayweather]] into unconsciousness.
  
   
  +
===Act Two ===
−
Malcolm goes to Daniels's quarters to get a device, but gets caught by Suliban. In the following interrogation, he tells Silik that Archer gave him orders to destroy it to prevent Silik from contacting his captain (he hasn't been able to do so since Archer's time transport). Meanwhile, Trip and T'Pol initiated a faked [[warp core breach]] and as soon as they are freed from the helix, ''Enterprise'' goes to [[warp]], pursued by many Suliban ships.
  
  +
The Suliban have brought ''Enterprise'' to a nearby [[Suliban helix|helix facility]]. Silik and Commander [[Raan]] try to communicate with the [[Humanoid Figure]] for instructions to proceed, but the Figure isn't responding. Raan supposes that they technically failed in their mission, having not obtained Archer, and might be avoiding them for that reason. Further, they haven't destroyed ''Enterprise''. Silik insists the presence of the temporal signature changes the mission, requiring new instructions. Raan wants to destroy the ''Enterprise'' now, but Silik instead wants to bring T'Pol under some medical procedure.
   
  +
Back in the library, Daniels confirms events are correct up until the [[Warp Five program]]. Archer and Daniels argue a bit as Archer is trying to get more information, but Daniels is hesitant to say anything more than he needs. Archer sees a book on the [[Romulan Star Empire]], but Daniels quickly turns him away. Daniels says that Archer's mission needed to be successful, but simply says it "led to others" instead of going into the Federation. Then, he realizes those that are directing the Suliban wanted ''Archer'', not necessarily to stop the ''Enterprise''. Daniels himself achieved that, against his intention. Archer recognizes a "chicken and egg" problem, since there's not even [[electricity]] where they are, but Daniels gets an idea. Daniels takes Archer's [[communicator]] and [[scanner]] and sends Archer for some raw materials. He intends to make a device from these to contact ''Enterprise'' on the same day Archer left.
−
On the helix, Silik is trying to contact his master but, unfortunately for him, the only thing he is able to do is to bring Archer back. Archer pulls a phase weapon to his head, warning him not to "''shiftshape or pull one of his chameleon routines''" otherwise he'll blow his head off. Archer then takes him as an hostage, destroys Daniels's device and secures the ''Enterprise''{{'}}s escape. They finally reach the D'Kyr and present their proof to [[Starfleet]] Command and to the [[Vulcan]]s. Soval, making an assessment of the ''Enterprise'' mission up to this point, still recommends to cancel the mission. Archer compares humans' growth in space exploration to the development of a human child, which occurs gradually instead of instantaneously, and promises that humans will learn from their mistakes. After an attempt to dismiss this argument, T'Pol protests, adding her commentary about the Vulcans' historical need to learn from their mistakes as well. [[Admiral]] [[Maxwell Forrest|Forrest]] promises that there will be further discussion in the council regarding these deliberations, but it is decided that ''Enterprise''{{'}}s mission will continue for now. Archer thanks T'Pol for standing up for the humans' right to explore space, despite that she still doesn't believe in [[time travel]]. The ''Enterprise'' then departs.
  
  +
  +
Silik forcefully interrogates T'Pol to learn where Archer has gone, but realizes that she knows little. Meanwhile, the crew does what they can. From his quarters, Tucker is able to set up a communication link between his room and [[Malcolm Reed]]'s, and continues to contact more. Eventually, T'Pol is returned to her quarters, but she's in a daze due to the torture and tries lying down. Archer then appears in her room, finally able to contact her. She can hear him, but is still disoriented, repeating the same lines she told Silik. Eventually, she focuses on Archer and answers his questions about where the ship is. He gives her instructions.
  +
  +
===Act Three===
  ⚫
Tucker makes progress on the communication, now able to talk to Reed, T'Pol and [[Hoshi Sato]]. The crew then formulates a plan to take back the ship, save the captain, and escape the Suliban. However, the locks on their room doors can only be opened on the outside, so someone has to crawl through the air vents and [[Hoshi Sato]] is the only one small enough. Despite her [[claustrophobia]], she "volunteers" and is able to reach to [[Phlox]]'s quarters, where he has prepared a [[hypospray]] to knock out the guards. She then makes her way to just outside [[Malcolm Reed]]'s room. However, her shirt catches on a hook. As she tries to fix it, she falls and accidentally loses it in the crawlway. Fortunately, she isn't seen. She opens the door, with [[breast|her hands over her chest]], telling Reed to not say what he is about to say and to get her a shirt.
  +
  +
Later, the crew is free. Near the transporter, T'Pol sits down and acts delirious as two Suliban find her. While wrestling her up, they are injected into unconsciousness from behind by Reed and Tucker. They hide the bodies in Reed's room and leave Sato to watch them. Reed then goes to Daniels's quarters to get a device, but he is caught by the Suliban. In the following interrogation, he tells Silik that Archer gave him orders to destroy it to prevent Silik from contacting someone (he hasn't been able to do so since Archer's time transport). Silik appears to accept his explanation and takes the device to the [[temporal chamber]] to study it.
  +
  +
[[File:Suliban cell ships surround Enterprise.jpg|thumb|Cell ships surround ''Enterprise'']]
  +
Meanwhile, Tucker and T'Pol successfully subdue the Suliban in [[engineering]] and initiate a fake [[warp core breach]]. Raan informs Silik, who can't be bothered while he's studying Daniels' device. Raan sends more soldiers but, as they arrive, Tucker and T'Pol are gone but conduits start exploding. Silik orders Raan to get rid of the ship, but leaves Raan to take care of all the logistics. Raan succeeds in getting the ''Enterprise'' towed, but, as soon as they are freed from the helix, ''Enterprise'' goes to [[warp]], soon pursued by the Suliban ships.
  +
  +
[[File:Archer gets the drop on Silik.jpg|thumb|left|Archer holds Silik hostage]]
  +
Silik believes Daniels' device can contact his master, who he desperately needs to hear from, and, indeed, it seems like it's working. Unfortunately for him, the person that he is contacting turns out to be Archer, whom the device transports back to the present directly into an attack on Silik. Archer takes Silik's [[Suliban pistol|sidearm]] and puts it to his head, warning him not to "''shift shape or pull one of his chameleon routines''," otherwise he'll blow his head off.
  +
  +
===Act Four===
  +
Archer then takes him as an hostage and destroys Daniels' device, confirming that the ''Enterprise'' left and demanding Silik to recall the ships pursuing them. Meanwhile, the ''Enterprise'' is under heavy attack, though able to fight back and searching for the Vulcan ship. Then, suddenly, the ships stop firing. Then, they leave, to everyone's relief. Then, one cell ship approaches. T'Pol hails it, and everyone sighs with relief to hear Archer. He's taken Silik prisoner.
  +
  +
The ''Enterprise'' finally reaches the ''D'kyr'' and presents their proof to [[Starfleet Command|Starfleet]] and the [[Vulcan High Command]]. Soval, making an assessment of the ''Enterprise'' mission up to this point, concedes that Archer wasn't responsible for the colony's destruction, however, citing results of previous encounters, which include [[The Andorian Incident (episode)|the incident]] at [[P'Jem]], he still recommends to cancel the ''Enterprise''{{'}}s mission. Archer makes his final plea, comparing Humans' growth in space exploration to the development of a Human child, which occurs gradually instead of instantaneously, and promises that Humans will learn from their mistakes. Then, after Soval attempts to dismiss this argument, T'Pol interjects with a protest, adding her commentary about the Vulcans' historical need to learn from [[Vulcan history#Ancient history|their mistakes]] as well. This unexpectedly causes Soval to leave the room abruptly. Admiral Forrest then promises that there will be further discussion in the council regarding these deliberations.
  +
  +
Later that night, Archer visits T'Pol to thank her for standing up for the Humans' right to explore space. ''Enterprise''{{'}}s mission will be allowed to continue, and Archer believes her speech to the Vulcans was what finally convinced the council. T'Pol tells Archer that despite everything, she still doesn't believe in [[time travel]]; however, Archer isn't so sure.

''"When I was in my early twenties on a trip to [[East Africa]], I saw a [[gazelle]] giving birth. It was truly amazing. Within minutes, the baby was standing up—standing up on its own. A few more minutes, and it was walking. And before I knew it it was running alongside its mother, moving away with the herd. [[Human]]s aren't like that, [[Ambassador]]. We may come from the same planet as those gazelles, but we're pretty much helpless when we're born. It takes us months before we're able to crawl—almost a full year before we can walk. Our deep space mission isn't much different. We're going to stumble, make mistakes — I'm sure more than a few before we find our footing. But we're going to learn from those mistakes.

(written from a Production point of view)

As the Suliban take the crew hostage, Archer disappears off the ship. While stuck in the 31st century, Archer and Daniels work to find a way to get back to Enterprise and repair the timeline. (Season premiere)

Summary

Teaser

Jonathan Archer has disappeared from the Enterprise while it is under threat from Silik, who demands to take him captive and doesn't believe he's gone. Sub-commander T'Pol, now in command, chooses to allow the Suliban to board and verify her claim. Trip Tucker balks at the idea, but T'Pol deduces she doesn't have a choice.

Act One

In the 31st century, Archer and Temporal agent Daniels are stranded, as there is no technology that could be used to send Archer back. Daniels is still struck by the situation, with Archer hounding him with questions. Walking through the rubble, Daniels notes the lack of a monument to the Federation. Explaining to Archer that this Federation didn't exist in his time, it must have simply "ceased to exist" at any time. They make their way to a library to find some answers. Oddly, the library is not filled with electronically-stored records as Daniels expects, but, rather, paper books.

On the Enterprise, the Suliban search thoroughly every area of the ship. They do not find any trace of Archer, but they get their data disks back (which have not been duplicated) and detect a temporal signature at Archer's last known location (the turbolift). Silik questions T'Pol but seems convinced she isn't lying. The Suliban have control of the ship now, Silik ordering the crew to quarters.

Back on Earth, Ambassador Soval confronts Admiral Maxwell Forrest about the Enterprise being delayed three days. Soval decides to send the D'kyr to recover T'Pol since the Enterprise failed to be at the rendezvous point on time. Commander Williams asks if the D'kyr even detected them on long-range sensors. Soval reluctantly reports that the ship was joined by several unidentified vessels and left sensor range. Soval assumes this behavior is intentional, and, since T'Pol would never agree with it, that she is being detained. Williams immediately objects to this, but Forrest is confident there's a good reason and encourages the ship to pursue.

Act Two

The Suliban have brought Enterprise to a nearby helix facility. Silik and Commander Raan try to communicate with the Humanoid Figure for instructions to proceed, but the Figure isn't responding. Raan supposes that they technically failed in their mission, having not obtained Archer, and might be avoiding them for that reason. Further, they haven't destroyed Enterprise. Silik insists the presence of the temporal signature changes the mission, requiring new instructions. Raan wants to destroy the Enterprise now, but Silik instead wants to bring T'Pol under some medical procedure.

Back in the library, Daniels confirms events are correct up until the Warp Five program. Archer and Daniels argue a bit as Archer is trying to get more information, but Daniels is hesitant to say anything more than he needs. Archer sees a book on the Romulan Star Empire, but Daniels quickly turns him away. Daniels says that Archer's mission needed to be successful, but simply says it "led to others" instead of going into the Federation. Then, he realizes those that are directing the Suliban wanted Archer, not necessarily to stop the Enterprise. Daniels himself achieved that, against his intention. Archer recognizes a "chicken and egg" problem, since there's not even electricity where they are, but Daniels gets an idea. Daniels takes Archer's communicator and scanner and sends Archer for some raw materials. He intends to make a device from these to contact Enterprise on the same day Archer left.

Silik forcefully interrogates T'Pol to learn where Archer has gone, but realizes that she knows little. Meanwhile, the crew does what they can. From his quarters, Tucker is able to set up a communication link between his room and Malcolm Reed's, and continues to contact more. Eventually, T'Pol is returned to her quarters, but she's in a daze due to the torture and tries lying down. Archer then appears in her room, finally able to contact her. She can hear him, but is still disoriented, repeating the same lines she told Silik. Eventually, she focuses on Archer and answers his questions about where the ship is. He gives her instructions.

Act Three

Tucker makes progress on the communication, now able to talk to Reed, T'Pol and Hoshi Sato. The crew then formulates a plan to take back the ship, save the captain, and escape the Suliban. However, the locks on their room doors can only be opened on the outside, so someone has to crawl through the air vents and Hoshi Sato is the only one small enough. Despite her claustrophobia, she "volunteers" and is able to reach to Phlox's quarters, where he has prepared a hypospray to knock out the guards. She then makes her way to just outside Malcolm Reed's room. However, her shirt catches on a hook. As she tries to fix it, she falls and accidentally loses it in the crawlway. Fortunately, she isn't seen. She opens the door, with her hands over her chest, telling Reed to not say what he is about to say and to get her a shirt.

Later, the crew is free. Near the transporter, T'Pol sits down and acts delirious as two Suliban find her. While wrestling her up, they are injected into unconsciousness from behind by Reed and Tucker. They hide the bodies in Reed's room and leave Sato to watch them. Reed then goes to Daniels's quarters to get a device, but he is caught by the Suliban. In the following interrogation, he tells Silik that Archer gave him orders to destroy it to prevent Silik from contacting someone (he hasn't been able to do so since Archer's time transport). Silik appears to accept his explanation and takes the device to the temporal chamber to study it.

Meanwhile, Tucker and T'Pol successfully subdue the Suliban in engineering and initiate a fake warp core breach. Raan informs Silik, who can't be bothered while he's studying Daniels' device. Raan sends more soldiers but, as they arrive, Tucker and T'Pol are gone but conduits start exploding. Silik orders Raan to get rid of the ship, but leaves Raan to take care of all the logistics. Raan succeeds in getting the Enterprise towed, but, as soon as they are freed from the helix, Enterprise goes to warp, soon pursued by the Suliban ships.

Archer gets the drop on Silik

Archer holds Silik hostage

Silik believes Daniels' device can contact his master, who he desperately needs to hear from, and, indeed, it seems like it's working. Unfortunately for him, the person that he is contacting turns out to be Archer, whom the device transports back to the present directly into an attack on Silik. Archer takes Silik's sidearm and puts it to his head, warning him not to "shift shape or pull one of his chameleon routines," otherwise he'll blow his head off.

Act Four

Archer then takes him as an hostage and destroys Daniels' device, confirming that the Enterprise left and demanding Silik to recall the ships pursuing them. Meanwhile, the Enterprise is under heavy attack, though able to fight back and searching for the Vulcan ship. Then, suddenly, the ships stop firing. Then, they leave, to everyone's relief. Then, one cell ship approaches. T'Pol hails it, and everyone sighs with relief to hear Archer. He's taken Silik prisoner.

The Enterprise finally reaches the D'kyr and presents their proof to Starfleet and the Vulcan High Command. Soval, making an assessment of the Enterprise mission up to this point, concedes that Archer wasn't responsible for the colony's destruction, however, citing results of previous encounters, which include the incident at P'Jem, he still recommends to cancel the Enterprise's mission. Archer makes his final plea, comparing Humans' growth in space exploration to the development of a Human child, which occurs gradually instead of instantaneously, and promises that Humans will learn from their mistakes. Then, after Soval attempts to dismiss this argument, T'Pol interjects with a protest, adding her commentary about the Vulcans' historical need to learn from their mistakes as well. This unexpectedly causes Soval to leave the room abruptly. Admiral Forrest then promises that there will be further discussion in the council regarding these deliberations.

Later that night, Archer visits T'Pol to thank her for standing up for the Humans' right to explore space. Enterprise's mission will be allowed to continue, and Archer believes her speech to the Vulcans was what finally convinced the council. T'Pol tells Archer that despite everything, she still doesn't believe in time travel; however, Archer isn't so sure.

Background information

Story and script

Deleted scenes

  • The first re-airing of this episode featured additional scenes that were featured in the trailer, including shots of Suliban soldiers searching Enterprise and Tucker pushing one of Silik's officers in defiance. (citation needed • edit)

Continuity

  • In the 31st century library, Archer picks up a book bearing the name of the Romulan Star Empire. This marks the first mention of the race on the series. The Enterprise crew makes first contact with the Romulans two episodes later in "Minefield", however, they do not establish visual contact, in line with the events of TOS: "Balance of Terror", in which the appearance of Romulans is revealed to the Federation.
  • This episode marks the beginning of T'Pol's dissension from the Vulcan High Command as she openly criticizes the hypocrisy they have been displaying towards Humans.
