Summary
交會
企業號被另一世界的船艦吞噬，被一未具肉體型態的生物佔領，那些生物想和船員們交換意識。
企業號遇見了前所未見的巨大船艦，這艘船艦來自另一世界。船員們用了各種方法和他溝通，都沒有效。突然，一個巨大的開口打開，把企業號「吞進去」了，同時也把武器和引擎系統關閉。還好，維生系統還能運作。亞契、崔普和李德乘太空艇，進入山洞般船艦的更深處調查。企業號沒有受到更進一步的傷害。崔普被一束彩色的煙霧擊中，煙霧好像侵入了他的身體裡，過了幾秒鐘才離開。在醫務室裡，崔普堅稱他沒事。他說在異星光束進入他身體的那幾秒鐘裡，他覺得脫離肉體，到佛羅里達和以前的女友見面。
亞契覺得很迷惑，摸不出頭緒。他叫崔普讓引擎恢復運轉，然後和特珀討論目前的狀況。亞契認為抓住他們的人懷有敵意，特珀卻提醒他，沒有理由認為那些神秘的異星人會對企業號造成傷害。突然，船員通知亞契和特珀，崔普的行為很奇怪。他們發現崔普在餐廳大吃大喝，說話的方式也很奇怪。亞契猜想，崔普的身體被異星人佔據了，試著和他溝通。異星人告訴亞契，當他經歷人類生活時，崔普在經歷另一世界的生活。亞契堅持把崔普和企業號釋放，異星人答應了。巨大的異星船艦放開了企業號，異星生物型態也離開了崔普。茫然的崔普告訴亞契，他的異星經歷非常奇異，異星人也告訴他，任何一個船員都可以試試體驗這種奇異的經歷。亞契仍然懷疑，決定帶企業號儘快遠離這個地區，但是引擎仍然無法啟動。
船員們繼續工作，更多的人被這奇異的、不具肉體型態的異星人侵入。李德被侵入了，並向特珀求愛。星被侵入了，把伏拉士醫生煩的什麼事都不能做。越來越多的船員被侵入。亞契知道，除非船員們恢復正常，否則企業號無法離開這裡。伏拉士忙著想出解決的辦法。梅偉瑟躲避煙束追擊時，走進貓走道。他發現煙束停止追他。他想，一定有某個因素使異星人不敢進來。亞契聽了他的報告，下令沒有受到攻擊的船員們進入貓走道。
一進入貓走道，亞契和特珀就討論解決的方法。特珀有一個想法：她想讓異星人侵入她的身體，這樣她就可以知道異星人的意圖。她堅稱高度發展的瓦肯心智，可以抵抗異星人的控制。特珀一走出貓走道，就遇到一束煙。她抵擋了異星人的控制，也發現異星人對亞契說謊。異星人的船正在毀壞，他們需要具肉體型態的生物才能存活下去。亞契了解了狀況，想出了一個辦法。他派伏拉士（他的生物型態和異星人不相容）把二氧化碳灌進船員們的艙房。伏拉士執行亞契的命令，但遇到了預想不到的麻煩－崔普，他又被異星人控制了。還好，伏拉士的放出二氧化碳，把崔普弄昏。煙束離開船員們的身體，企業號擺脫異星艦的追擊，發射魚雷，把異星艦徹底的炸燬。

The Enterprise gets "eaten" by another alien ship. They are not able to make any contact and at first, there seem to be no lifeforms aboard. However when a team gets outside to explore the interior of the ship, it is clear that they are dealing with sentient beings: the atmosphere changes to be breathable by humans and the strange wisps that populate the ship's interior are obviously not moving at random.
Then, a wisp approaches Trip and enters his head. When it comes out, its color has changed from blue to yellow. A little after, the yellow wisp returns and Trip regain control over his body. Back on the Enterprise, there seems to be no consequence to the body exchange and a wisp returns again, for a longer experience this time. After learning a little more on the human way of life, the creature is confronted by Archer and says that his people are explorers, just like the Enterprise crew, that used to be corporeal beings generations ago and are trying to learn more about their ancestors' way of living.
Following that, many body exchanges occur, and since the wisps are able to pass through walls, there is little Archer can do but confine the exchanged crewmen to quarters. He is still unsure about the intentions of the aliens, even if they agree to release the Enterprise. Then, Travis Mayweather stumbles upon a way to keep the wisps out: the catwalk. The crew then proceeds to relocate into the warp nacelles.
A little after that careful move, there is the first sign of hostility from the aliens when Hoshi's resident assaults the Doctor (who is apparently immune to the exchanges). T'Pol then proposes to try to make contact with one of the creatures to learn more about their motives in a kind of mind meld. What she learns is a little disturbing: the aliens' ship is crucially deteriorating and they are trying to find corporeal hosts to survive.
With this new insight, the captain devises a plan to momentarily "kill" the crew and resurect them later so the wisps will go away. Phlox is able to execute the plan almost flawlessly, the only hitch being a fight with a possessed Trip which ends in the "death" of the engineer.
When the aliens realize what has just happened, they move to recapture the Enterprise again, but this time, the only thing they get are two torpedoes that destroy their whole ship from the inside.
