After brutally torturing Archer, the Xindi unexpectedly return him to Enterprise, which is barely holding together after a devastating Reptilian attack. The captain receives information that some possibly sympathetic Xindi Council members are willing to meet with him, but he must make a rendezvous several light-years away in just a few days. Faced with a severely crippled ship with no warp drive ? as well as numerous dead and injured crew members ? Archer tosses his ethics aside in a desperate attempt to get the ship back on its feet.
Meanwhile, T?Pol privately turns to Dr. Phlox for assistance with a disturbing secret she's been keeping for several months.
