An alien ship drops out of warp and disables the ''Enterprise'' engines. T'Pol speculates that they're the aliens' killers, since they match scans. The away team flies back towards the ''Enterprise'' in the shuttle and T'Pol tells Malcolm to do his best to shoot at the hostile ship. Archer tries to hail them, but they don't reply, instead firing at ''Enterprise''. The away team gets back on the ship, but they can't escape because the enemy ship has disabled ''Enterprise'' port nacelles. Thankfully, however, they've stopped firing. Archer orders the ship to be fired at twice, but neither shot is effective.
The hostile ship scans ''Enterprise'' and locks onto it, then a third ship appears, bearing a crew of the same species as the dead crew. There is a bit of a kerfuffle, since they think the ''Enterprise'' crew killed them, but after a conversation with Hoshi (difficult due to her barely knowing the language), they eventually realise that they just wanted to help them. Thus, they make a successful first contact, and Hoshi drops Sluggo off on a more suitable planet.

After two weeks out in space, the NX-01 comes across a derelict freighter, with its crew gruesomely murdered.
to:
Later, Archer gives Malcolm target practice, while Phlox and Trip eat lunch in the mess hall together, with Phlox enthusing about the food and human behaviour, and Trip complaining about being bored. Then, an alien spaceship appears, but it doesn't respond to hails. Archer wants to explore the vessel, but T'Pol wants to just ignore it. Archer, still curious, scans the ship and confirms there are bio-signs onboard-- he thinks they can't make contact, but T'Pol thinks they simply don't want to. He also discovers hull breaches on the ship, prompting him to dispatch an away team, despite T'Pol's objections.
Archer prepares the away team, which consists of himself, Malcolm, and Hoshi. Trip wants to come too, but Archer says no. Archer then makes a log, complaining about T'Pol being too by-the-book, and Hoshi tries to bail out of the mission since the EV suits make her claustrophobic, but he tells her to suck it up and do the mission anyway. They board the ship, enter the other side of the airlock via a lever, and then find that everyone's dead and hanging upside down from hooks, being washed out with liquid. They decide to leave (which was T'Pol's idea) since obviously, dead people don't need their help.
Hoshi talks to Phlox in sickbay, embarrassed for being the only one who screamed when she found the bodies. Phlox reassures her that it's nothing to be ashamed of and offers to have her go back to being a teacher, but she doesn't want to. He then points out that Sluggo will die if it doesn't take its medicine, making Hoshi guilty for bringing it on the ship and consider finding it an argon-rich planet to live on.
At dinner, Archer feels guilty for abandoning the ship and is sore at T'Pol for suggesting they leave, accusing her of having no remorse and going too far to avoid conflict. He decides to go back to the ship, bringing Phlox. On the alien ship, Hoshi goes to work attempting to translate some writing, but then reveals that she's changed her mind and is considering going home after all, since she feels that having screamed before means she's too emotionally unreliable, and thus unfit for her job. However, she does manage to translate the writing and then send a distress call. Meanwhile, Phlox has determined that the aliens died because someone killed them in order to obtain something called "triglobulin" from their bodies.

* BittersweetEnding: Hoshi's self-esteem improves and Sluggo gets better, but Hoshi can't keep Sluggo since there isn't enough argon on the ''Enterprise'' to sustain it.
