After arriving at planet Risa, half of the
Enterprises crew prepare for shore leave, and Captain
Archer organizes lots. Winning a vacation himself, Archer boards a shuttlepod along with Commander
Tucker, Lieutenant Reed, and Ensigns
Mayweather and
Sato. Once the shuttlepod lands on Risa, the crew go their separate ways. Archer notices a beautiful alien woman and her dog on the balcony just below his. Later, he strikes up a conversation, learning her name is Keyla. She claims that the
Suliban massacred her entire family. He also learns that she is Tandaran, and when he confronts her with this discovery and asks what she wants, she knocks him out with a shot, and leaves. Meanwhile, Sato is approached by a handsome alien called Ravis, and the two hit it off. She asks him to teach her his complex native language, and he invites her to the exotic steam pools. The next morning, she awakens happy with Ravis in bed beside her. Elsewhere, Tucker and Reed are in a noisy nightclub filled with exotic female aliens. Two women join them for a drink and invite them to view some nearby subterranean gardens, but when they reach the basement underneath the bar, the "females" suddenly morph into male aliens. Tucker and Reed are helpless as the aliens rob them and knock them out. Waking up the next morning, they escape the club in their underwear. Meanwhile, in sickbay, Doctor
Phlox prepares to take his annual six-day hibernation, but he informs Sub-Commander
T'Pol that two days should be sufficient. Some time later, Mayweather contacts
Enterprise after a rock-climbing accident, and is unnerved by Phlox's absence, but Crewman Cutler reassures him that she can handle his broken leg. He later has some trouble breathing, forcing Cutler and T'Pol to awaken Phlox. Though disoriented and incoherent, he still manages to formulate a suitable antidote, and collapses back into hibernation. On Risa the next morning, the
Enterprise crew travel together in the shuttlepod back to their ship, each with an interesting story to tell, but with none willing to divulge any details. == Production ==
