- While Enterprise travels to Andoria to warn them of the attack, Archer tries to bring the Kir'Shara to the High Command.
- Enterprise has set a course to Andoria to warn them for the attack administrator V'Las is planning. Tucker sees only one way to approach them. They try to contact commander Shran, who is hiding in a nebula. On Vulcan Archer is still possessed by the Katra of Surak. He is determined to bring the Kir'Shara to the High Command in the capital city. T'Pau and Archer think it will bring a tremendous difference on Vulcan, but T'Pol has doubts. Meanwhile V'Las explains his attack plans to the High Command. He tells the Andorians have already been deceived by fake warp signatures. But some of the members of the High Command are starting to have doubts.—Arnoud Tiele (imdb@tiele.nl)
- Commander Tucker heads the Enterprise to Andoria and Ambassador Soval contacts Commander Shran who is hidden with a small fleet in a nebula. He discloses the intention of Administrator V'Las who wants to attack Andoria. But Shran is skeptical so does not believe him and kidnaps Soval, submitting him to torture. Meanwhile in Vulcan Captain Archer, T'Pol and T'Pau are attacked by Vulcan soldiers while transporting the Kir'Shara to the High Command. V'Las is questioned by Minister Kuvak that is not convinced that the Andorians have the Xindi technology. V'Las orders the Vulcan attack to the Andorian fleet, but the Enterprise stations between the two forces expecting to avoid the battle.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Administrator V'Las presents falsified data to the High Command to convince them that Andorians are developing a weapon based on Xindi technology and have amassed their fleet.. So, a pre-emptive strike on Andoria is required to neutralize the threat to Vulcan.
Enterprise heads to Andoria after Ambassador Soval (Gary Graham) informs them that the Vulcans believe they have been developing Xindi weapon technology. Soval guides Enterprise to a nebula where the Andorian fleet is hiding. Commander Shran (Jeffrey Combs) is dubious, and abducts (By beaming him away from the Enterprise) and tortures Soval (as he doesn't believe that Soval would betray his own Vulcan species for Andorians). After believing him, Enterprise joins a fleet of six Andorian ships to intercept the Vulcans. The Vulcans arrive with 12 ships of theirs and a standoff ensues.
Commander Tucker attempts to buy time by ordering Enterprise directly between the two fleets - this works for a while until Administrator V'Las (Robert Foxworth) orders them to be targeted too. Meanwhile the High Council notes that Andorians don't have any Xindi technology and only standard particle weapons.
Meanwhile, at The Forge, Captain Archer, Commander T'Pol, and T'Pau (Kara Zediker), having found the sacred Kir'Shara (which the Syrrannites believe will usher a Vulcan enlightenment) (It the only original record of Surak's teachings and will be required to convince the High command of Surak's intentions for Vulcan), endeavor to take it to the capital. Archer also tells T'Pol that Surak told him that Vulcans are planning to attack Andoria and that attack needs to be stopped.
En route, T'Pol and T'Pau discuss the taboo of mind-melds, and T'Pau offers to mind-meld with T'Pol. She states the meld is safe when performed by those trained in the art, and that Pa'Nar Syndrome is merely the by-product of an improperly conducted meld. The trio are then attacked by Major Talok (Todd Stashwick) and Vulcan commandos (On V'Lar's orders), and T'Pol is captured while Archer and T'Pau escape by diving into a deep shaft. She tells her captors that they are headed to Mount Seleya in order to mislead them from their true destination.
She is then taken to the capital. Archer and T'Pau also arrive after T'Pol's husband, Koss (Michael Reilly Burke), provides them with the transporter security codes. They present the Kir'Shara to the High Command and reveal that the embassy bombing was merely a pretext to weaken the pacifist Syrrannites prior to the Andorian strike. Visibly angered, V'Las lunges for the Kir'Shara, but is stunned by High Minister Kuvak (John Rubinstein), who orders the fleet to stand down.
Enterprise returns to Vulcan, and Koss visits to release T'Pol from their marriage. Meanwhile, the Vulcan High Command is dissolved, granting Earth greater autonomy and the freedom to navigate the stars, and the Katra of Surak is transferred to a Vulcan high priest (Jack Donner). V'Las, relieved of his post, meets secretly with Talok, revealed to be a Romulan agent, who states that the reunification of their worlds is only a matter of time.
