Red alert: the full plot, ending included. Haven't watched yet?REVEAL SYNOPSIS
Temporal agent Daniels tells Archer that three Xindi-Reptilians have travelled back to Detroit in 2004 to make a biological weapon, defying the Xindi Council's ban on such weapons. He sends Archer and T'Pol back to stop them and recover anything that does not belong in the period. Tracking the Xindi to an abandoned factory on Carpenter Street, they catch Loomis, a blood bank worker, leaving the building. T'Pol subdues him with a nerve pinch, and he admits he has been delivering six victims of different blood types to his mysterious employers. Archer poses as one of the victims to get inside, finds the bioweapon laboratory and wrecks the equipment, killing one Reptilian. The other two flee with the agent. Archer kills one, T'Pol stuns Loomis, and Archer corners the last on the factory roof. The pair tag all the alien technology and return to Enterprise, leaving Loomis to explain lizard people and ray guns to the police.
- 01The episode nods to the “Halloween” films: the street is named after director John Carpenter, and the names Loomis and Strode echo characters from the original film.
- 02Some scenes were shot on Paramount's New York Street backlot, in an area where “The Godfather” had been filmed.
