Another distress call adverts Enterprise from Risa. Again.  Between  Reed and T'Pol you would think someone would be skeptical of all these distress calls by now, but I digress.  Archer and Tucker (Hats, Sunglasses, Desert Gear!) trek to Zobral's planet after helping him.  Reedygoodness would really love that food. Bloodwine and 'the essence of the male' 80) T'Pol would, too, for that matter.   Archer refers to the events of Silent Enemy, saying 'we' upgraded our weapons and beat the baddies (!) Sure, take all the credit.
    T'Pol, meanwhile, chills in the Captain's chair.  The Chancellor calls and says Zobral is a terrorist.  Malcolm is suspicious.  He looks at the screen like 'WTF are you?!'  while T'Pol questions.  T'Pol, talking on the comm yet looking at Reed, contacts the alien lacrossing, shirts off Archer and Tucker (Does DK shave his chest? 80) )   Archer tries to leave, but  Zobral begs the great warrior to help them, since he freed 'thousands' of Suliban!  Technically, isn't  Malcolm the one with the huge arsenal and the freer of the Suliban?
    Back on the Bridge,  Reedygoodness tells Polly ships are attacking Zobral's place.  Reed watches T'Pol as she tries to contact Archer.  Malcolm then gets to work, but he can't lock on with the transporter.  Malcolm vows to take a shuttlepod and find them himself.  'In the middle of an assault?'  T'Pol worries for him and Reed bites his lip. Damn, she wasn't impressed!
 

    I bet 'T'Pol's ears must be burnin'' was true. She and Malcolm don't like Zobral's tricks.  T'Pol leans over Mayweather again and shows her bum to the Buminator!  Reed grows angry that his sensors are being blocked. (Meanwhile Trip gets desert and dessert delusional.  Does anyone else want to see a desert whacked Reed? He is a Navy Boy, do they even like the desert?  He wouldn't be talking about food I bet ;0) )
    Reed tells T'Pol if he 'disables' two satellites he could scan the surface of the planet again.  He looks at her and licks his lips. No lie.  T'Pol says that would only provoke them further.  'I suggest you find a less intrusive way to penetrate their defenses.' >80)  What else is she trying to tell him?  Reed's hand is on the table, so close to her, then he locks his hands behind his back like T'Pol.  Although his senior, T'Pol 'suggests', and Malcolm bites his cheek at the word 'provoke' as if to say So? He shifts nervously while she shatters his plan.  He catches onto the 'penetrate their defenses' part and it's like Eureka!  He nods his agreement, then sulks off. He goes around behind T'Pol so he can check her out.  You hear him stomp away, then see him work diligently at Tactical in the background.  Hoshi then tries to explain to T'Pol how Vulcans landing in the US caused the same friction. T'Pol gets the same look Reed just had and asks 'What's your point?'
 

    T'Pol is back  in the Captain's Chair-shouldn't someone be at Science? Reed tells her Zobral is approaching.  Reed is so pissed he doesn't even look at Polly!  Zobral wants to come aboard, and T'Pol looks over her shoulder at Reed while she talks. T'Pol tells Reed to let Zobral come in.  He gives her this protecive Zoolander Pout. Sure? Okay!
    Reed tells Zobral there were only 89 Suliban in the Tandaran Camp. T'Pol stands behind him, why doesn't she explain? Reed grows pissy.  'I would hardly call it an army, more like a few dozen prison guards, and to be honest, they didn't put up much of a fight.' Oh he is so aware she is standing behind him.  This whole conversation goes Reed, T'Pol, Reed, T'Pol, Reed ,T'Pol,  Reed, T'Pol.  They really can finish each other sentences!  Not to mention both use the word 'hardly' 80)
    T'Pol says Archer is an 'excellent Starship Captain' and Reed glances at her like Bullshit!  Zobral has come to the wrong man for his 'Legendary desert tactics' ha!  Malcolm licks his lips 'Actually, I'm the Tactical Officer on this ship, and I don't have any experiences waging desert warfare.'  Look at that, he gives him self props yet turns modest in the same breath!  DK is so short he is staring directing at Zobral's chest. It's really funny. Malcolm says they can't help him and droops his head.  T'Pol asks about The Captain and Trip, and Reed lifts his head. Oh yeah....those guys. Zobral says Enterprise has better sensors, but T'Pol explains they're jammed.  Reed sneers as if to say. Cause of You! T'Pol grows pissy as well.
    Malcolm crosses his arms, and Zobral admits he passed through a gap in the sensor grid.  OHM (Our hero Malcolm) wants all the 'pertinent data'.  T'Pol looks at Malcolm-yeah baby!  Zobral, however, laughs at Reedy. <Gasp!>  Mr. Reed shifts and looks to the floor, 'I'm a quick study!'  T'Pol just looks at Zobral like the ass he is.  Zobral says Reed would get shot down instantly. Malcolm looks up and gives him The Glare.  Not just nuclear, photonic!
    Somewhere along here, Reed and T'Pol stepped closer together.  T'Pol says if Zobral helped them they might find the boys.  Reed agrees that all this is Zobral's fault.  Zobral gets in Malcolm's face, and our hero quickly turns his head.  T'Pol steps infront of Malcolm and says if anything happens to T&A, ( that's Trip and Archer! I bet Malcolm wasn't thinking Trip and Archer >80) ) it will be on Zobral's head.  Malcolm gladly inches behind T'Pol.  You tell him, baby! T'Pol tells Big Z that the Chancellor thinks they've join his cause.  Malcolm sneers over her shoulder-On a cold day in hell maybe!
 

    Zobral goes in a shuttlepod with Reed and T'Pol.  Big Z tells Reed to make another pass, and Malcolm rolls his eyes.  T'Pol agrees they would have seen something the first time, but Zobral says there is metal interfering.   Reed wants to fly higher, but Zzzzzzy says they will be detected.  Reed finds weapons fire-figures, and T'Pol orders him to set course and fire. He turns to her, slightly questioning. Questioning Polly, and on an order to fire? Are you sure you really want me to find them?
    T'Pol says it must be the desert boys. Reed gets exicted that he has a lock  with his weapons.  'Fire' T'Pol orders.  Baddies gone, T'Pol pulls Trip and Archer into the pod.  Malcolm spins around playing with all the panels in the pod, and surprise, they zip away safely! Where was Phlox? More importantly, what happens to their tans next episode?
