A chance encounter with a small vessel full of humanoids on a spiritual pilgrimage turns out to be more than a coincidence – their leader, D’Jamat, has specifically sought the Enterprise. His followers attack the crew and hijack the ship, intending to use it to turn the tide in a holy war that has divided their planet for centuries. When D’Jamat demands that Archer select a member of the crew to die, Archer chooses himself – and even names his own sentence, “death” by transporter. In fact, Archer merely has himself beamed into the bowels of the Enterprise, where he coordinates a last-ditch effort to retake the ship. But even if he can’t, has the end of this so-called holy war already been decided?

Three years after the end of the human-Xindi conflict, Archer and Degra, the Xindi-humanoid weapons develeoper, escape from imprisonment at the hands of the Xindi-insectoids. Degra has experienced memory loss during his interrogation, and Archer reminds him that after destroying Earth, the various Xindi turned on each other in a vicious civil war. But Archer is also insisting that Degra must help him return to the place where the fateful Xindi sphere-weapon was tested before being launched toward Earth. And Degra is unaware – at least at first – that everything he is being told is untrue.

When Major Hayes orders security and self-defense drills for the Enterprise’s crew without going through Lt. Reed, the Enterprise security chief is most annoyed and sets out to prove that his crewmates are every bit as capable of handling themselves as the MACO commandos. In the meantime, one of the MACOs is handling Trip quite well, embarking on a romantic relationship with him that leaves T’Pol strangely unsettled. The Enterprise encounters an anomaly containing a tiny pod. When the pod is pulled free, Captain Archer and Dr. Phlox are alarmed to find one humanoid life form aboard, and they’re even more alarmed by his agonized recounting of cruel treatment by the Xindi. But at the first opportunity, their visitor proves that he is, in fact, a Trojan horse sent by the Xindi themselves – and Hayes and Reed may be too busy exchanging blows with one another to stop the alien from destroying the Enterprise.

Enterprise arrives at a vast nebula, and trying to go around the gaseous structure would add months to the ship’s journey. Archer is forced to consider putting the entire crew under neurosedation and leaving Enterprise in the hands of Doctor Phlox and T’Pol, whose alien physiologies render them immune to the nebula’s effects. Though T’Pol is undaunted by the exhaustive schedule of duties she must perform as the ship’s sole pilot and engineer, Phlox may be unprepared for the sense of isolation that he must endure – but is he really alone, or has someone else boarded Enterprise?

When the wreckage of a Xindi-insectoid ship is detected on a nearby planet, Captain Archer diverts the Enterprise from its larger mission to investigate. The entire crew is dead, but what’s left behind, largely intact, is a hatchery with the crew’s offspring – and Archer, despite misgivings from T’Pol and the rest of his crew, becomes obsessed with preserving the Xindi-insectoid hatchlings, if only to prove that he and his crew value life more than the Xindi do. But when T’Pol and Reed protest his actions, Archer relieves them of their duties, to the surprise of the rest of the crew – and Trip and Phlox begin contemplating relieving Archer of command by whatever means are necessary.

The Enterprise limps away from a withering Xindi attack, barely in one piece, and certainly incapable of fighting or reaching warp speed. Over the protests of the Xindi Reptilians, Archer is ordered released back to his ship, as he too has suffered in the hands of the Xindi, who then leave the Enterprise for dead. An Illyrian ship stumbles across the Enterprise, and her captain offers Archer help, but Archer wants something the Illyrians can’t part with – their warp coil. Without it, the Illyrians would be facing a three-year voyage home for which their ship isn’t equipped. But Archer has been invited to a secret meeting with Degra, who hopes that the conflict between humanity and the Xindi can be halted – a meeting that Archer has three days to reach, even at warp speed. While Archer wrestles with the ethical choice of stranding a ship of non-combatants in the Expanse to save Earth, T’Pol confesses a shocking secret to Dr. Phlox.

Even with a chance to catch their breath for the first time since the Xindi attack, Archer and his crew are still in turmoil. Trip, assigned to write a letter of condolence to the family of an engineering crewmember, can find nothing to say that seems to matter. T’Pol is still struggling with the emotional outbursts triggered by her secret experiments with trellium. And the secret meeting with Degra doesn’t go as planned – until Archer plays his trump card and provides hard evidence that the Xindi-Reptilians have been conducting their own campaign against Earth separate from the rest of the Xindi races. When the Enterprise is ambushed by a Xindi-Reptilian ship while he’s still aboard, Degra must quickly decide where his loyalties and trust lie.

A battered duplicate of the Enterprise, apparently crewed by the descendants of Archer’s crew (and led by Lorian, a descendant of T’Pol and Trip), emerges through a temporal rift. Lorian and his crew recount a grim history for the crew of Archer’s Enterprise: an anomaly sucked the ship into the past, and despite the best efforts of the crew’s descendants Earth lost the war with the Xindi, only T’Pol is still alive – and the crew of “tomorrow’s” Enterprise must return to their own future to restore the timelines. But first, Lorian wants something from Archer’s ship that could strand the Enterprise’s original crew – and stop them from preventing the events that led to Earth’s destruction in the first place.
