''Enterprise'' tries to rescue a Klingon ship that's sinking into a gas giant.

to:

Hoshi is doing target practice with Malcolm, having trouble learning to use the new phase-pistol. Then, ''Enterprise'' discovers a gas giant. They probe it and find strange noises, radiation, and a spaceship with bio-signs on it sinking into the atmosphere.

Malcolm (even though he has a cold), T'Pol, and Hoshi (who wanted to go on the away mission to prove herself and for something to do) go onboard the ship, where the air is breathable, but stinky. They have only an hour to investigate before the ship sinks dangerously low, and they find out that it's a Klingon ship, but one of a type that even T'Pol doesn't know about.

They find an unconscious crew and debate on whether to rescue them -- Malcolm wants to, but T'Pol points out that Klingons like dying at work and they'd probably try to kill the ''Enterprise'' crew if rescued. They contact ''Enterprise'' and tell them about the situation, also determining that it's a neurotoxin that's incapacitating the crew. Meanwhile, a Klingon woman spies on the away team. Malcolm sees her and chases after her, then she knocks him down, dives into the airlock, and leaves the away team stuck.

Back on the ''Enterprise'', the shuttle flies past and the Klingon woman sends a signal, which turns out to be a request to attack the ''Enterprise'', who she thinks has attacked her ship. They grapple the shuttle into the docking bay and stun the woman, then Archer decides to steer the ship into the atmosphere to save the away team.

On the Klingon vessel, the away team
tries to decrypt the control panels to find a way out, since at this time, Klingons don't use escape pods. ''Enterprise'' informs them of the rescue attempt, but then a wave of pressure destroys the probe and interferes with ''Enterprise'', forcing Archer to postpone the rescue attempt.

In sickbay, Phlox tells Archer that the reason the Klingon woman didn't pass out is because she hid in a low-temperature zone, which slowed down the effects of the poison. However, she, like her colleagues, is in danger of dying. Archer tries to talk to her, but she doesn't want to talk.

Travis finds out that the
Klingon ship that's sinking is ''Raptor''-class, that it's a scout vessel, and that it is very well-designed with a tough hull. Trip suggests reinforcing a shuttle to save the away team, and Archer orders him to proceed. Meanwhile, the away team finds a log entry which reveals that the Klingons became sick after a raid, and they determine what is wrong with the ship-- the fusion injector is broken.

While Archer and Trip work on the shuttle and discuss the trouble they've been having with Klingons, the away team explores the Klingon galley, Hoshi angsts about her emotions, and then the shuttle starts to lose its integrity. The team goes
into the engine room, where Malcolm comes up with the idea to use the weapons to escape.

Trip updates Archer on his progress with the shuttle, and Archer tells Trip that Klingons put heavy emphasis on "honour". Archer then goes back to sickbay to talk to the Klingon woman, where Phlox has found
a gas giant.
cure for the toxin and determined that it came from poisoned ale. Archer convinces the woman to help with the rescue by telling her that if she and her coworkers die, it'd be a dishonour.

On the Klingon ship, the away team fires the photon torpedoes to raise the ship's altitude, and they raise it high enough to allow the ''Enterprise'' shuttlepod, carrying Archer and the Klingon, to dock. They enter, and Archer reveals that her name is [=Bu'KaH=]. He hails the ''Enterprise'', then two more Klingon ships show up. The Klingons demand that the ''Enterprise'' surrender, but Archer demands that they stand down or be destroyed. He then orders the ship around, while the away team enjoy themselves in decon.
