When Trip is severely injured, Phlox grows a clone of him to harvest tissue.

Phlox tells Archer that Trip is
When Sim grows to a boy of about first grade age and learns to read, he begins having Trip's memories and asking questions about it. Archer decides to tell him the truth, and after a talk in his quarters and a play session with a model spaceship, shows him the unconscious Trip. Sim realises that he's a copy and Archer explains that Sim will need to have surgery since Trip "needs something" from him.
As Sim gets older, he begins helping with the repairs, while T'Pol tells Archer that they need to hurry up with the repairs or else the particles will build up and become dangerous before they're finished. Sim comes up with a solution and runs it by Malcolm and later T'Pol: redirect the phase cannons to fire at the launch bay, so they can launch the shuttlepods. Both agree that it's dangerous, but the only viable option, and Sim admits to T'Pol that he's in love with her and wonders if it's because Trip is.
Sim tells Archer that he wants to pilot one of said pods, but Archer wants Malcolm and Travis to do it instead, making Sim mad at the idea that Archer's being protective of Trip. Thus, they execute the plan, and just when it seems like it isn't working, it does.
Unfortunately, Phlox then realises that in spite of what he previously thought, the operation will kill Sim. Complicating things further, Sim has heard of experiments that might just be able to prolong his life and allow him to live out a normal life, so he's not sure about sacrificing himself for Trip. In Trip's quarters, Sim confronts Archer and points out that he has Trip's memories and could, in a way, by saving him by existing, but Archer insists that the mission requires Trip.
Sim apparently agrees to the procedure, but then Malcolm discovers that he tampered with the launch bay controls in an attempt to escape, only to change his mind when he remembered Elizabeth and decided he didn't want another tragic death to occur, so he decided to agree to the surgery after all. T'Pol kisses him, then says goodbye to Phlox and has the operation. We end on the funeral, which turns out to be Sim's.
