Cease Fire

The Andorians and Vulcans both claim a small planet, Weytahn to one side and Paan Mokar to the other. Shran has reoccupied an Andorian settlement there and taken Vulcan hostages, and he will negotiate only through Archer. Archer and T'Pol set off for the surface with Ambassador Soval, a reluctant participant, but their shuttlepod is shot down and each side blames the other. Stranded in hostile ground, the party comes under fire and Soval is wounded. Meanwhile Tucker, in command of Enterprise, keeps the rival warships apart. Archer discovers that Tarah, Shran's trusted lieutenant, has been sabotaging the talks because she will not accept peace with the Vulcans. Shran has her arrested, a ceasefire takes hold, and both sides agree to keep talking, equally dissatisfied with the terms. Soval acknowledges Archer's help.
