Replacements come aboard, including a new crewman also named Fuller, who works in the armory and learns the ship's weapons systems quickly ["Anomaly"].
While there are several possible explanations for why "Crewman Fuller" referred to a female in "Shockwave, Part II" (with no hint that there was another crewman by the same name) and a male in "Anomaly"--such as Crewman Fuller undergoing a sex-change operation--the one which seems to fit best is the one which uses events described in intermediate episodes to explain the situation.Enterprise's universal translator is upgraded, and Hoshi is trained on the new system ["Exile"].
Trip picks up a crate of Georgia peaches. Chef places them in statis ["Extinction"].
Between "The Expanse" and "The Xindi"
Hoshi begins studying the Vulcan database's information on medieval Klingon ["Exile"].
Conjecture. Hoshi is familiar enough with medieval Klingon in late 2153 to compare a dead language to it. She may have spent the weeks between major adventures studying various languages.A contact informs a Xindi-Reptilian of the entry of Enterprise into the Delphic Expanse ["The Xindi"].
Enterprise encounters a freighter, whose captain tells Archer of a Xindi passenger he delivered to a mine a few years prior. It is the first lead the crew has gotten in the nearly six weeks they have been in the expanse thus far ["The Xindi"].
Shortly before the episode.

Main action spans at least three days; the teaser takes place roughly two weeks earlier (before "Anomaly").
Night One: Trip arrives for a session with T'Pol, after cancelling two previous. He offers T'Pol a peach. She begins massaging Trip, but is interrupted by the Captain. Archer tells her about the planet the Xindi vessel most recently viisted, about a day away from their current position, and they set a course.
Night Two: The ship arrives and, after scanning the planet, Archer, Reed, T'Pol, and Hoshi come down in Shuttlepod One. They investigate another shuttle and two aliens they find dead nearby. The four Enterprise crewmen become infected, and the three Humans begin a metamorphosis into another race, while T'Pol becomes ill. T'Pol calls the ship warning them that something is affecting them. T'Pol uses Hoshi's universal translator and uses it to attempt communication with the creatures the other crewmen are turning into. On the ship, Trip works with Phlox and Mayweather to try to find out what happened to the others; Trip orders Mayweather to prepare Shuttlepod Two, and to use EVA suits.
Archer-Creature and the other transformed Humans take T'Pol in search of a place called Urquat. Reed finds a tree with wormy eggs and brings down two of them. Hoshi-Creature eats from one, while Reed-Creature and Archer-Creature fight over the other one, with Archer-Creature winning. He offers some of the egg to T'Pol, who declines. Reed-Creature shares some of Hoshi-Creature's egg.
Trip and Mayweather, along with MACOs Chang and Palmer, land on the planet with Shuttlepod Two and begin searching for the others, who hide. Chang is knocked out and Trip is attacked, but T'Pol prevents Archer-Creature from attacking him again. T'Pol orders Trip to take Reed-Creature back to the ship.
Morning Three?: Back on the ship, Phlox studies the creature formerly known as Malcolm and discovers that a mutagenic virus has attacked his DNA, altering it and therefore him. Two ships come out of warp and tell Trip that their ship is under quarantine.
Dream Sequence: Archer-Creature discovers Urquat, a city full of Loque'eque. He is confronted by Archer-Human.
The Alien captain comes aboard and studies Reed-Creature. He returns to his ship. Phlox tells Trip that they have only about two hours left before the virus completes its transformation; Trip rushes out to T'Pol's quarters and finds her bitten-into peach, which should have some of her original DNA. The Alien captain launches a shuttle to the surface.
Archer-Creature leads Hoshi-Creature and T'Pol to Urquat, which fell to ruins long ago. Hoshi-Creature is dismayed; Archer-Creature describes the gardens, the fountain, and the thousands of people who lived there. The Alien decon agents advance into the city and hunt down the three crewmen. Archer-Creature attacks one of the agents and tears his encounter suit. They leave the alien lying on the ground, and when his comrades find him, they flamethrower him to a crisp. Just as the Enterprise crew leave the caves, more decon agents find them and prepare to attack; Trip and security beam down and subdue the attackers.

Night One: Hoshi has a vision of Tarquin. T'Pol tells Archer about the second sphere. Hoshi asks Reed to check the security logs but he finds nothing unusual. T'Pol asks Hoshi to translate a portion of the Xindi database. Hoshi asks Phlox to examine her. Hoshi works in the command center with the Xindi database and has another vision of Tarquin in his palace. Reed arrives and startles out of her vision. Hoshi goes to Phlox again and he checks her again. Archer posts additional security around critical sections of the ship. Hoshi feeds Dr. Phlox's animals and has a third vision; Tarquin offers to help find the Xindi. Hoshi talks to the Captain, who decides to alter course to Tarquin's planet.
Morning Two: Hoshi, Reed, and Archer take a shuttlepod down to Tarquin's castle. Tarquin introduces himself and asks for an item from the Xindi; he says he will need a few days to study the item, and he'd like Hoshi to stay with him. The Starfleet crew return to Enterprise and discuss Tarquin's request; they decide Hoshi can stay, and go back to the planet with a piece of the Xindi weapon that attacked Earth.
Night Two: Tarquin has dinner with Hoshi, offering her pepperoni pizza, macaroni and cheese, a cheeseburger and fries, and a dessert from another planet. Hoshi retires for the evening, and he offers her a book written in a dead language to give her something to do.
Day Three: Enterprise approaches the second sphere, and anomalies pulse throughout the ship. Trip begins coating a shuttlepod with Trellium-D, a process that will take about 36 hours to complete.
Night Three: Hoshi approaches Tarquin and he offers to let her use his telepathy orb. She sees images from her memory, as well as an image of a Xindi-Reptilian who turns to look at her, startling her out of the experience. Hoshi looks through the gardens. Seeing a glass door, she goes through and finds herself outside in a cemetery. Tarquin explains his that four previous companions died due to old age. Hoshi is aghast that Tarquin plans to make her his next companion.
Night Four: Trip and Archer launch in Shuttlepod One, the coating process complete. The pod penetrates the cloaking field around the sphere, though the sensors are damaged. Archer lands on the sphere to let Trip repair the pod. While working, the port thruster ignites; Trip and Archer fire at the shuttle; they conduct their scans and return to the ship. Enterprise heads back to Tarquin's world. Log entry.
Day Five: Archer contacts Tarquin, letting him know Enterprise will arrive soon. Hoshi sees Archer, who tries to persuade Hoshi to stay, but she realizes that he is Tarquin in disguise. In orbit, Enterprise tries to contact Hoshi but the power is drained from all systems. Hoshi threatens the telepathy orb, and Tarquin releases control of Enterprise. Log entry.
Night Five: T'Pol analyzes the data from the scans and discovers that there are at least fifty spheres in the Expanse, maybe more. Tarquin appears to Hoshi one last time, telling her about a base constructing part of the Xindi weapon and giving her the coordinates.
