We're back after a short break to kick off Enterprise ... sorry, STAR TREK: Enterprise Season 3 with episode 1: The Xindi but only Maria has actually watched the episode. The Enterprise crew are in the Expanse lookin for some Xindi. A trip to a mining planet to gather information goes predictably awry when Trip and Archer are captured and have to escape with the help of the only live Xindi they've ever met. Meanwhile, Trip is having trouble sleeping and Phlox decides to trick him into getting T'Pol to help him.
