剧情
專注於一
為了就近觀察一個含有三個恆星系統的黑洞，企業號減速為脈衝動力。還有兩天才會到達，船員們有時間做他們想做的事。亞契埋首於寫一頁他父親傳記的序言。他派崔普調整艦長的座椅，那坐起來並不舒服。李德想做出一個新的保安系統。由於廚師生病，星代理掌廚。
梅偉瑟找伏拉士醫治他的頭痛，伏拉士並不滿足於只幫梅偉瑟醫治頭痛，他開始把這位少尉當作醫學試驗的實驗品。不久，每位船員開始把平常的工作看得非常重要，每個人沉溺在自己的工作中。亞契把他的一頁序言寫成十九頁。崔普把整個艦長座椅都拆開，想加一些新設計（像茶杯架），也打算重新做過，來完美的適合亞契。李德著手設計一個特別的警急警報，在為警報的名稱和聲音考慮不已。星沉溺在想將她的家鄉菜oden做到完全正確，完全忽略了她的廚師工作，其他的船員只得餓肚子。他們的行為也影響他們與其他船員的互動，李德和崔普幾乎動手打起來，伏拉士把沮喪的梅偉瑟安定下來，以便進行更多醫學試驗。 特珀是這時唯一沒有沉溺在單一工作的船員，她無法不注意到大家的奇怪行為。她向艦長報告，但亞契沉溺在他的序言，變得不講理而且生起氣來，責怪她的打擾。特珀也向伏拉士報告船員們的病態行為，但他只沉溺在想如何使梅偉瑟的醫療計劃完美。看到醫生也被影響，特珀快速的用瓦肯擒拿術把他夾昏。
其他的船員昏倒以後，特珀拿伏拉士對梅偉瑟的掃描資料，和她對三星系統的研究資料整合起來，形成一個假設：三星系統放射出的輻射，影響了船員。如果他們再繼續曝露在這輻射下久一點，可能會喪命。為了逃離，她必須畫出一條能通過星球的航道。也就是說，必須接近危險的黑洞，到處還有許多隕石殘骸，她無法獨自一人完成駕駛任務。
特珀到亞契的艙房，試著把昏沉的艦長弄醒。她把他帶到蓮蓬頭下沖淋，再把他浸到冷水中。特珀向亞契解釋情況，兩人前往艦橋。特珀指出修正的航道，亞契駕駛，合作把船帶離危險。企業號撞到隕石殘骸而搖晃，亞契覺得他們需要用到武器，特珀堅稱沒有時間讓武器啟用，但她卻發現武器已經啟動了，看來這是李德的新保安設計之一。企業號用相位炮炸掉一塊擋路的隕石，清出一條路，進入曲速，最後安全的脫離險境。
接下來，伏拉士檢查了船員們，確定沒有輻射殘留在他們身上。亞契稱讚李德的戰術警報設計，那在危急的時候，解救了企業號。艦長還要求李德擬定一個標準程序。崔普把艦長的座椅降低一公分，讓它坐起來比較舒服。亞契繼續高高興興的寫他的序言。

Teaser
- Science Officer's Log, August 14, 2152. Enterprise remains on course for the trinary system. I've transmitted a distress call, but the nearest Vulcan ship is more than nine days away. By the time they arrive, they may only find debris... if that. Even if Enterprise makes it past the black hole without being destroyed... it seems likely the crew won't survive.
Act One
- ...I'm continuing my analysis of the condition that's stricken the crew. But without Dr. Phlox's assistance, I'm not hopeful about reversing its effects. I'm documenting my findings so that Starfleet will at least have a record of what happened. The symptoms began not long after we set a course for the trinary system. That was nearly two days ago.
Act Three
- ...It wasn't long before I realized the odd behavior wasn't limited to Commander Tucker. In fact, everyone I encountered was acting strangely, growing consumed with matters that seemed trivial, at best. I also discovered that, although I appeared to be immune, the Captain was not.
Act Four
- ...The crew's biosigns were growing erratic. I began to doubt any of them would survive more then a few hours. Ironically, Dr. Phlox's obsession with Ensign Mayweather's headache has provided some useful data. His cerebral scans have helped me determine that the radiation coming from the
Background Information
- This was the first episode using the Galley.
- Even when Mayweather refuses treatment, the Doctor orders him to get scanned. In "The Breach" we'll learn this is against the most important Denobulan medical rule, to never treat a patient that refuses treatment. However, he is under the effects of the singularity's radiation, so there it isn't a problem here.
- Among the many things listed on the "Week's Dinner Menu" are peach cobbler, Plomeek tea, Angolian cole slaw, lamb and beef in soy fondue, and French fries.
Memorable Quotes
"CARROTS!"
- - Hoshi, under the influence of the singularity's radiation.
"Please remove your hand...I won't ask you again."
- - Phlox to T'Pol, when she grabbed his arm to stop him from operating on Travis; he maneuvers the scalpel towards her.
"How are you feeling?"
"A little tired, but the head ache's gone, what'd you do?"
"Very little... fortunately."
- - Phlox, Travis
