Enterprise returns to a hero's welcome on Earth, but the crew find that coming home after the Xindi mission is harder than they expected.
Red alert: the full plot, ending included. Haven't watched yet?REVEAL SYNOPSIS
Enterprise is welcomed home as a hero ship, and Archer pays tribute to the crew lost during the Xindi mission. His debriefing with Starfleet and the Vulcans is tense, especially with Soval. Still carrying the weight of what he did in the Expanse, Archer goes climbing with Captain Erika Hernandez of the new Columbia, an old flame, and slowly begins to open up. On a night out, Phlox meets hostility from humans who now distrust all aliens, and a fight breaks out. T'Pol invites Tucker to Vulcan, where they find her mother T'Les has been forced out of the Vulcan Science Academy because of T'Pol's past actions. T'Pol's former fiancé Koss offers to restore her mother's position if T'Pol will marry him. Despite her feelings for Tucker, she agrees. Archer and Soval part with a handshake, and Tucker watches T'Pol marry Koss.
