* {{Foreshadowing}}: Early on, Degra and Jannar discuss "never confirmed" sensor readings suggesting the presence of other human ships in the Expanse. Later in the episode, we learn that this is because they've been picking up the presence of the future ''Enterprise'' all along, but that the future crew have been carefully avoiding direct encounters. (As it turns out, this is also why, back in "Azati Prime", Dolim demanded that Archer tell him how many Earth vessels had entered the Expanse; the Xindi had reason to believe there were others out there.)

En route to meet with the Xindi Council, ''Enterprise'' comes across an alternate version of itself.
to:
On ''Enterprise'', Trip pretends he wants neropressure, but actually he just wants to make sure T'Pol is okay since she's been withdrawn lately. She says she's fine (also cancelling the sessions) but has an uncharacteristically nervous expression. ''Enterprise''
Degra's ship is locked with a Xindi-Primate ship for a meeting between three council members. The Xindi-Primate he's working with is angry that he told the humans where the meeting place was. Degra points out that the ''Enterprise'' is the only ship in the Delphic Expanse and is heavily damaged. The three Xindi councilors discuss whether it's a good idea to let Archer know about the meeting, but Degra maintains that it's worth the risk, adding that they'll need to protect the ''Enterprise'' from the reptillians.
''Enterprise'' drops out of warp near the nebula and finds a ship which they think is the ''Columbia'', but it has ''Enterprise'''s markings and is captained by a man named Lorian, who asks Archer to reverse his course. Archer complies, and meets with the ship's crew. Lorian explains that ''Enterprise'' entered the nebula, was attacked by Kovaalans, escaped them by reaching the subspace corridor, but accidentally destroyed the corridor when the impulse manifold created a "particle wake". This sent them back in time and thus, ''Enterprise'' became a generational ship. Lorian then reveals that T'Pol is his mom.
Lorian advises Archer not to enter the corridor, but instead to enhance the plasma injectors using Haradin technology. Lorian couldn't do that himself, since his injectors are worn down, but it could be pulled off with new injectors and structural changes to Archer's ship. Phlox does a DNA test, determining that Lorian is telling the truth, that his dad is Trip, and that the executive officer, Karyn Archer, is Archer's great-granddaughter.
Trip, who, as it turns out, died when Lorian was fourteen, instantly forms a bond with Lorian. Meanwhile, Karyn takes Archer on a tour of the ship and explains that Phlox had nine kids with Amanda Cole (hence the high amount of part-Denobulan kids). She then explains that her great-grandmother was an Ikaaran named Esilia who Archer married after rescuing her ship. Archer notes that this explains why the Xindi kept asking how many human ships were in the Expanse. He is taken to the quarters of T'Pol, the only living member of the original crew, who is much more expressive in her old age. She's curious about Trip, but would find actually talking to him too awkward. She then gives him a PADD that proves that Lorian's plan could result in ''Enterprise'''s destruction.
In the mess hall, Hoshi reveals to Travis that she has two kids named Toru (boy) and Yoshiko (girl), but didn't want to know who their dad was. Travis reveals that he married Corporal [=McKensie=], and Malcolm awkwardly reveals that he remained single. The ensigns leave and Malcolm begins hitting on a woman. Meanwhile, T'Pol tells Archer that she and Trip agree with the elder T'Pol-- Lorian's plan could easily overload the injectors and destroy the ship. The elder T'Pol shares a new plan-- modify the impulse manifolds so the corridor won't be displaced. Archer then tells Lorian off for thinking up such a risky plan without warning them of the dangers and refuses to execute his plan.
Lorian berates the elder T'Pol for warning Archer, worrying that the events will all happen again, but she thinks that he just feels guilty about failing to stop the Xindi probe, which makes him angry. He meets up with Karyn and Greer, the tactical officer, to outline his plan to steal the injectors and warp to the meeting place.
While Trip and the younger T'Pol work on the modifications, he goes on about the alternate
On the bridge, Archer is informed that the warp engines and plasma injectors are down. Engineering doesn't respond, and the alternate ''Enterprise'' undocks and doesn't reply to hails. Archer orders Malcolm to disable their engines, which he does, then Lorian orders a retreat and for Greer to return fire. Archer orders T'Pol to the transporter room, and when Greer returns fire, the ''Enterprise'' loses hull plating and weapons. T'Pol beams an EPS manifold off Lorian's ship, then Archer orders her to take the primary relays from C-Deck, which causes Lorian's ship to lose power.
Archer hails Lorian (with Malcolm warning him that Lorian has a torpedo) and emphasises to him how many people would be harmed if he pulls the trigger. Karyn also insists on stopping the fight, which finally causes Lorian to surrender.
In the brig, Archer tells Lorian that he was lucky that everyone's injuries were minor, but adds that his (Archer's) ship was almost crippled. Lorian still insists that his plan is the only logical one that has a chance of
In the elder T'Pol's quarters, she tells the younger one how to use "isomagnetic collectors" (pieces of Ikaaran technology) to reduce the particle wake and warns her that the effects of the Trellium-D addiction will never go away completely, suggesting that she get together with Trip.
''Enterprise'' approaches the nebula and is fired at by Kovaalans. Malcolm is unable to return fire, so Archer hails Lorian. Both ''Enterprise''s attack and disable the lead ship, prompting the other two to retreat. ''Enterprise'' is now unable to move due to a busted drive coil, so Lorian's ''Enterprise'' tows it with a tractor beam. Four more Kovaalan ships appear and fire at the aft plating, which fails, as do the weapons. Lorian releases Archer's ''Enterprise'' towards the corridor, and they emerge, but Lorian doesn't (it's unknown if he died or was erased from existence). Just then, Degra appears, noting that Archer is early.
