But she has clearly been compromised by her addiction and is now suffering through withdrawal. Under normal circumstances, Phlox would have every right to tell the Captain and declare her unfit for duty. Justified, as under these circumstances, they can't afford to lose the first officer.

Archer wakes up on the Aquatics' ship and tries to talk to them, but they sedate him instead, then send him back to ''Enterprise''. When Archer returns, he is updated -- nine more people are confirmed dead, and only two of the weapons are working, so Archer decides that they need to hide since the Xindi-Reptillians come back.

The crew goes over exactly what is wrong with ''Enterprise'' -- five people are dead, dozens of people are injured, the hull is gone, the launch bay is inaccessible, the primary warp coil is damaged beyond repair, and they don't have the necessary supplies to build a new one.

In the Xindi Council Chamber, Degra and the Primate and Arboreal Council members talk to an alien woman and ask her if she helped the Reptillians with the bio-weapon. She admits that she did, to prevent the Insectoids from leaving the Council. Degra angrily asks if Archer's claim that her species built the spheres is true, but instead of answering, she claims that Earth must be destroyed for the Xindi's benefit, tells them not to summon her again unless the whole council is present, and leaves. They ask why they should doubt her, but then Degra points out that she doesn't provide proof, but Archer does.
The ''Enterprise'' crew reluctantly discuss how they will steal the coil -- they can't beam it away as that could damage the engines and would take too long. Archer tells Travis to set the course, then goes to his ready room, where T'Pol tries to plead Archer not to steal the warp coil, at one point yelling at him and breaking a PADD. She goes to see Phlox and explains that she has been injecting herself with trellium-D because she enjoyed its effect on her emotional suppression, but is now addicted.
They reach the Illyrian ship and the Illyrians hail them, but ''Enterprise'' doesn't answer. Archer, Trip, Parsons, and a few [=MACOs=] board the ship and search for the coil, while the ''Enterprise'' leaves with the Illyrians in pursuit and T'Pol refusing to disable their weapons. Trip finds the coil but it's behind a force field, but after a struggle, he retrieves it and beams back. The Illyrian captain confronts Archer, who has tried giving them supplies to compensate, asking him and the others why they did it. Archer simply replies that he had no choice.
While T'Pol gets treatment in sickbay, the crew integrate the coil into the ''Enterprise'' systems, and they head off, with Archer feeling somewhat guilty about his actions.
