Summary
覺醒
亞契和特珀遇到躲藏在瓦肯沙漠的西倫耐特教派。在此同時，企業號上的船員們得應付瓦肯執政當局。
亞契船長和特珀，穿過險惡的鎔爐沙漠，來到西倫耐特教派的基地，他們起初被視為奸細，後來特珀的母親站出來，西倫耐特教派的首領特普態度才變為和善。後來她知道這期間，還發生了危險的轉換。西倫教派教徒所尊敬的首領西倫，臨死前和亞契進行精神融合，把他的「卡特拉」附在艦長上。西倫耐特教徒將「卡特拉」視為蘇拉克活生生的靈魂。蘇拉克死於兩千年前，被視為是瓦肯有史以來最偉大的聖人。亞契自從被西倫精神融合後就覺得怪怪的，他看到蘇拉克的影像，了解到「卡特拉」的概念是真實的。當特普想用另一種精神融合法，將「卡特拉」從亞契身上取出的時候，蘇拉克抗拒，緊緊的附著在亞契的意識裡。蘇拉克決定讓亞契擁有這個卡特拉，瓦肯人可能還不知道目前情況的嚴重性。為了保護亞肯人，蘇拉克認為，藉著亞契的幫助，他的族人可以得到救贖。
在此同時，瓦拉斯決定率領瓦肯最高當局轟炸西倫耐特教徒的基地。儘管瑟維爾提出異議，瓦拉斯說服他的同僚，西倫耐特教派要為大使館爆炸事件中，喪命的瓦肯人和地球人負責。
瓦拉斯的奸計得逞，瓦拉斯和瓦肯最高當局，譴責瑟維爾先前在企業號上進行的精神融合。瑟維爾確知，最高當局把使館爆炸案，怪罪到西倫耐特教派上是錯誤的。他決定站在企業號這一邊。他打算幫崔普救出在西倫耐特教派基地裡的亞契和特珀。瑟維爾秘密地登上企業號，瓦拉斯通知崔普馬上離開他們的領空。崔普不理會這個命令，他派梅偉瑟和李德乘太空艇去救亞契和特珀。崔普一行人不知道，瓦拉斯不希望企業號留在瓦肯星上空，是怕他們看到他對西倫耐特教派基地的屠殺式轟炸。
梅偉瑟和李德出發前往鎔爐沙漠，想趕在最後一刻進行救援。瓦拉斯攻擊太空艇，兩人被迫退回企業號。在企業號上，崔普面對盛怒的瓦拉斯。崔普堅持要救回亞契和特珀，冷酷的瓦拉斯攻擊企業號，對企業號開火。在瑟維爾的勸說下，崔普了解到，他們必須採取別的行動。瓦拉斯如此冷酷，如果船員們在他的攻擊下無法存活，也就不可能救回亞契和特珀。所以他們離開了。
不久之後，瓦拉斯轟炸西倫耐特教派的基地，亞契在蘇拉克的引導下告訴特普，他會引導她找到「可夏拉」，那對蘇拉克而言，是一件非常重要而且神秘的手工藝品。沒有人知道可夏拉的特殊意義，西倫本來要帶西倫耐特教徒到這裡找它的。特珀和特普和亞契一起進入洞穴找到可夏拉。但是當他們回到基地，特珀瞥見她母親在瓦肯屠殺式的轟炸下喪命。瓦拉斯想殺死所有人，不留任何活口。
特珀強忍悲痛，特普和亞契試著想辦法逃出這不停的轟炸屠殺。瑟維爾將這恐怖的情形告訴崔普。瑟維爾最後說出他知道的秘密：最高當局想把罪名強加到西倫耐特教派上，是因為這個教派是和平主義者。他們忠於蘇拉克的教誨，拒絕使用暴力，西倫耐特教徒會反對最高當局目前攻擊安多利亞人的計劃。儘管瓦肯和安多利亞簽訂了和平條約，瓦肯情報當局宣稱，安多利亞人發展神地的超級武器。為了事先防備，瓦拉斯說服最高當局發動先發制人的攻擊。瑟維爾和崔普都知道，那會引起星際大戰，地球也會遭殃。
現在，衡量之下，為了瓦拉斯的對手好，也為了大家的利益，崔普設定航道，前往安多利亞..

Soval appears before the Vulcan High Command to answer for his mind meld in The Forge. Soval states that he needed to conceal his abilities for the best interests of Vulcan. He felt that the service he performed outweighed his crime. V'Las states that although Soval's record is impressive, there is no excuse for deception. Soval states that deception is no stranger to the high command. V'Las dismisses Soval from service and orders him to return all confidential material. In addition, V'Las reminds Soval that his oath of loyalty is still in effect.
Charles Tucker III sends Malcolm Reed and Travis Mayweather in a modified shuttlepod to attempt to recover Jonathan Archer and T'Pol from Vulcan's Forge. Despite Soval's assistance in disabling a surveillance satellite, Vulcan patrol craft fire on them, and the shuttlepod is forced to return to Enterprise.
V'Las orders Enterprise to leave orbit, so there are no witnesses to his plan to destroy the Syrrannites. Tucker refuses to leave orbit, even after ordered to do so by Admiral Gardner. As a result, V'Las sends three Vulcan ships to intercept Enterprise. After Enterprise is damaged, Soval suggests retreat and Enterprise withdraws.
Meanwhile, the Syrrannites begin to evacuate their sanctuary. Jonathan Archer, T'Pau, and T'Pol remain behind to attempt to locate the Kir'Shara. Archer leads them down a corridor and opens a door to the room where the Kir'Shara is kept. The Vulcans then begin to fire on the sanctuary. Archer then leads them out of the sanctuary, which is then shown reduced to rubble.
Toward the end of "Awakening", T'Pol holds her mother T'Les in her arms on Vulcan. While Jonathan Archer looks on, T'Les apparently dies. The event of death is portrayed implicitly, not explicitly (though with little cost to its dramatic effect).
Trip Tucker is in command of the Enterprise. Privately, Soval (who is on board) informs Tucker that Vulcan is planning to attack Andoria, believing they are developing a weapon based on the Xindi superweapon. Just before the close of the episode, Tucker orders a course set to Andoria at maximum warp (the order comes to his bridge crew as a surprise).
Background Information
- The events of this episode (The Vulcan head-of-state attempting to convince his people that a false weapons-of-mass-destruction conspiracy exists in an opposing governmental power, Andoria) seem to mirror American President George W. Bush's call for a strike into Iraq in the early 21st century. The Star Trek story's chain-of-events has a different outcome however, as the Andorian war is averted before full-scale conflict erupts, with the Vulcan leader admitting his lie.
- John Billingsley (Dr. Phlox) does not appear in this episode.
- This is the final episode of the series directed by Roxann Dawson.
- Bruce Gray previously played Admiral Chekote in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Circle" and the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Gambit, Part I".
