THE SEVENTH
SYNOPSIS T’Pol asks
Archer for his help in finding the fugitive, so she, Archer and Mayweather go to
a planet to find Menos. On the planet,
Mayweather captures Menos, but because of an acid spill on the landing pad, they
must wait for four hours before it is cleaned up and they can leave for
Enterprise. Inside the bar
where the crew found him, Menos talks to T’Pol and tries to convince her that
he is innocent of the charges against him. He
also tells her that the other fugitive who was with him on Risa, the one she
killed, was innocent of the charges that were against him.
Throughout this mission, T’Pol is having flashbacks, back to Risa.
They get stronger the more she talks to Menos.
She goes to his ship to find out if he is really carrying biotoxins as
the VHC has told her, but all she finds are spent warp core casings. Back outside the
bar, she tells Archer that years ago as an undercover agent she was assigned to
find rogue agents who abandoned their assignments.
She tells him of the flashbacks she’s been having of chasing and
killing an agent named Jossin. After this
incident, she had a ritual involving repressing the emotions and memories of the
killing. Archer tells her that he will
help her deal with the memories and the emotions. Meanwhile, Archer
and T’Pol hear a crash, and the bar is on fire.
T’Pol goes to Menos and sets him free. In
the commotion of the fire, Menos escapes. Archer,
T’Pol and Mayweather then go to Menos’ ship, but don’t find him there.
Mayweather tells Archer that even though the ship is powered down, there
is a circuit that is feeding power to an unknown device.
Archer goes into the cockpit, leaving T’Pol alone in the cargo bay.
Archer presses the button to the unknown control panel, which deactivates
the holo-imaging in the cargo bay. Menos
is in a section of the cargo bay that appears into view, he pointing a gun at
T’Pol. When Archer goes into the cargo
bay to tell T’Pol what he’s found, Menos grabs T’Pol and holds her
hostage. He tells Archer and Mayweather
to get into a closet. Once they are
in the closet, Menos tells T’Pol to lock the door.
As she does so, Archer pushes the door open. Menos gives up, after
exchanging firefights with the away team, he escapes through a panel in the
bottom of the ship and across the landing pad. When
T’Pol hesitates to fire on him, Archer reminds her that she was sent to
retrieve him, not judge him. Back in the
ship, they see the reason why Menos gave up shooting at them: discovered along
the walls of the ship are the bottles of biotoxin he was accused of
transporting. T’Pol thanks
Archer for his help. He tells her that,
just like humans, she may have to deal with the emotions brought on by this
incident and move on. She, in turn, tells
him that he can trust her with anything in the future.
