The Romulans pretend to be Enterprise and destroy a Rigelian ship. The Rigelians get pissed apparently, but then the issue disappears. I guess they got over it.

Shran’s lady friend who was shot by a Tellarite isn’t doing that well.

These guys still don’t like each other, even though they understand they have a common enemy.

Reed and Trip start screwing with stuff on the Romulan ship

The Romulans close trip off in another room and say they’ll kill him with the radiation if Reed doesn’t fix the stuff they messed up…

Shran’s lady friend dies

Reed tricks the Romulans into releasing Trip, and blows up stuff on the bridge!

This makes the Romulans sad

Shran demands to have a showdown with the Tellarite, and if Archer doesn’t allow it then the Andorians are backing out of the alliance. Stakes!

But if Archer allows the fight than the Tellarites are backing out. Luckily there’s a rule in these Andorian showdowns that you can call in a sub. Archer has to fight in order to save the alliance.

A good ‘ol fight to the death! The production clearly put some effort into coming up with some interesting Andorian weapons, and they sort of succeeded.

Archer cuts off one of Shrans antennas, which renders him defenseless, which according to another rule means the fight ends I guess. Thanks for these rules, Enterprise writers!

They catch up with the Romulan ship, which is trying to look like a Vulcan ship at the moment

Reed and Trip are tired of that ship so they just jump out into space.

the Romulan ship escapes, but an alliance fleet is formed

Now everyone likes each other!

And then they show us the person piloting the Romulan ship and it’s a cliff hanger I guess
