The ''Enterprise'' is on its way to meet with the Xindi council, but has taken a detour to mourn the eighteen people who died in the Xindi attack. Then, in the ready room, Trip reveals that two missing crew members, Jane Taylor and Kamata, have been found, but they're both dead. T'Pol reports that the weapons are online and hull plating is at 80%. Archer assigns Trip to write a letter to Taylor's parents (which Trip is unhappy with), and T'Pol goes to see Phlox for her addiction. He finds barely any trellium-D in her system and reassures her that she will be able to deal with the side effects.

After limping along with their heavy damage, Archer has to convince Degra and Jannar that they must call off the attack on Earth.

After limping along The ''Enterprise'' is on its way to meet with their heavy damage, the Xindi council, but has taken a detour to mourn the eighteen people who died in the Xindi attack. Then, in the ready room, Trip reveals that two missing crew members, Jane Taylor and Kamata, have been found, but they're both dead. T'Pol reports that the weapons are online and hull plating is at 80%. Archer assigns Trip to write a letter to Taylor's parents (which Trip is unhappy with), and T'Pol goes to see Phlox for her addiction. He finds barely any trellium-D in her system and reassures her that she will be able to deal with the side effects.

The ship arrives at the rendezvous, but no one's around, and then the ''Enterprise'' gets hit with an anomaly. Degra appears and leads them to a Sphere, where he then invites Archer aboard his ship. On Degra's ship, he and Jannar reveal that they planned to return him to his ship and away from the Reptilians. Jannar wants more proof, which Archer agrees to show him on the ''Enterprise'', provided the weapon isn't deployed. T'Pol finds Trip trying to write his letter in the mess hall and tells him to catch up on sleep. Then, there is an explosion and they both shut down the damaged systems and summon Phlox. Unbeknown to them, the hull
has started to convince leak atmosphere.

Archer tries to persuade
Degra and Jannar that the Sphere-Builders are misleading the Xindi, showing them the bodies of the Xindi-Reptillians who were killed back in "Carpenter Street", but Jannar points out that just because they were killed doesn't mean time travel was involved. Archer shows them the bio-weapon and offers them to analyse it, but Jannar still doesn't see it as proof, so Archer leads them away.

Meanwhile, Phlox has heard about Trip's sleep deprivation and orders him to bed. Trip goes to bed and dreams about Taylor yelling at him for not writing the letter. Archer and Phlox then show Degra and Jannar the scans of the Xindi test subject they rescued a few months ago. They reveal that the cellular degradation comes from its having evolved in a dimension with different laws of physics, and the Spheres are designed to reshape space to make it better suited for the aliens, but unsuitable for humans and other humanoids, so
they must call off form an alliance to stop them.

On Degra's ship, he and Jannar discuss Archer's findings, with Jannar noting that
the attack chronometric distortions may have been faked and warning Degra not to let his doubts about launching the weapon cloud his judgment. In the command centre, Trip tries to fix the equipment, while T'Pol explains the data reconstruction to Degra. Trip then starts to rant at Degra, so Archer comes in and takes him away, leaving Trip and T'Pol to finish the repairs.

Meanwhile, the crack in the hull has been growing and ruptures an EPS conduit, so Trip and Malcolm go out in EV suits to fix it, with Archer overhearing the communications and Degra observing. They set to work, but Malcolm is stationed near the leaking plasma and thus nearly dies of heatstroke. He is rushed to sickbay, and when Degra hopes that he survives, Trip yells at him and accuses him of hypocrisy, since the Xindi killed seven million people.

Archer escorts Degra to the command centre to show him information they gathered
on Earth. the spheres, also apologising for Trip's behaviour. Archer shows Degra the scans, which impresses him, then Degra says it's a surprising amount of information for a warship to have collected. Archer says that ''Enterprise'' was initially a ship of exploration, to which Degra says it will be again if they succeed.

Trip starts to work on his letter, when a tactical alert sounds-- Xindi-Reptillians have followed Degra to the Sphere. The captain contacts Jannar and demands that they undock with the ''Enterprise'', so Degra decides to talk to Archer. Archer begs for information that would help them fight the Reptillian ship, but Degra has reservations about attacking his own kind. Degra's ship eventually leaves ''Enterprise'' but attacks in conjunction with it, eventually ending with Degra destroying the Reptillian ship (since he believes letting them survive would lead to them reporting Archer and Degra).

T'Pol gives Trip some power cells from Degra, but he refuses help from him and starts ranting and crying about how Elizabeth died at such a young age. He claims to be jealous of Vulcans for not having emotions, but she says that Vulcans do ''have'' emotions; they just suppress them. Degra then convinces Archer to present his evidence to the Council, while Trip writes his letter.
