Following up on leads about kidnapped humans in the Expanse, the Enterprise visits a planet where humans are supposedly being held in slavery by a race called the Skagarans. Archer, Trip and T’Pol disguise their identities and mingle with the natives, where they find that the story is now very different: the humans, kidnapped long before the 22nd century, have risen up and overthrown their former masters, and the Skagarans are now a belittled under-class, not allowed to receive an education or hold any position of power. But even then, Archer is still determined to restore balance and equity to the two races inhabiting this world, even if it means revealing his true identity and rocking the humans’ beliefs to the core.

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.
