剧情
第七個
特珀被瓦肯當局指派一項秘密任務，她要求亞契陪伴她一起進行。艦長對她的請求感到很驚訝，但是同意了。特珀特別指出，這項任務有個人因素。多年前，特珀被派去追捕一些不法瓦肯技工，除了一個以外，她全都追捕到了，那位漏網之魚叫做梅諾斯。現在瓦肯當局認為他們已經找到梅諾斯的下落，而且希望特珀把他緝捕歸案。
很快地，特珀、亞契和梅偉瑟前往帕內亞星系，那是梅諾斯最後被發現的地點。當梅偉瑟駕駛太空艇的時候，特珀向亞契做有關於梅諾斯的簡報：他被派去滲透一個走私集團，後來卻變成他們的一員。現在，聽說他在走私一種生化有毒物質，那可以製成具遺傳性的武器。特珀最後一次看到他是在萊莎星，在那裡她幾乎抓到他。三人降落在大雪紛飛的外星哨站後，特珀在像酒吧的避難所的人群中看到梅諾斯。梅諾斯巧妙地反擊，但還是被梅偉瑟抓住。三人準備將他帶回企業號。不巧地，哨站的起落甲板過熱，他們在幾個小時之內無法離開。
同時，在企業號上，崔普正面臨擔任代理艦長的困難，伏拉士和李德都要求他對有關整艘船及船員的事做裁決，星又通知他瓦肯艦的艦長塔衛克在呼叫企業號，說有一通福立斯特上將的緊急訊息。塔衛克堅持要和艦長通話，崔普只好假裝自己是亞契。一發現福利斯特上將的訊息是一篇水球比賽的分數，崔普立刻鬆了一口氣，向瓦肯艦長道謝並道再會。
在異星哨站上，亞契、特珀和梅偉瑟拘捕著梅諾斯，打算情況安全的時候就起飛。梅諾斯試著向特珀哀求，說他有一個妻子和兩個女兒，而且他根本不是一個走私者，他只是運送注射器外殼。當他們交談的時候，梅諾斯巧妙的暗示，在萊莎特珀緝捕他的時候，他並不是獨自一人。這激起了特珀一些片段的回憶。在一個幻象中，她看到自己在叢林中追捕兩個罪犯；在另一個幻象中，她似乎在一間瓦肯修道院中經歷情緒悲痛。為了證明梅諾斯確實犯罪，特珀冒險通過船鄔到他船上，卻只看到一箱箱用過的注射器外殼。她失望的回到避難所，要求單獨和梅諾斯談話。在他的協助下，將她的幻象整合起來。情況似乎是：還有一個逃犯是她也在追捕的，叫做約瑟，她在萊莎看到約瑟和梅諾斯在一起。她在叢林中追捕這兩人，直到她射殺了約瑟。稍後，她了解到那朦朧中的瓦肯儀式叫做伏拉勒，在此儀式中，她對這件事的記憶和相關的情緒都被壓抑了。特珀把這些事都向亞契報告，亞契覺得梅諾斯在操弄特珀的情緒。
趁著特珀的守備鬆懈下來，梅諾斯脫逃了，亞契、梅偉瑟和特珀追他追到他船上。雖然梅諾斯設下陷阱，幾乎抓到他們，特珀最後還是逮捕到他。當特珀用武器瞄準著他，梅諾斯懇求，想引起特珀的罪惡感，他說特珀會讓他走，而不會殺害另一個清白的人。儘管如此，亞契提醒特珀，她是奉命逮捕梅諾斯，而不是審判他。艦長的話幫特珀做了最後決定，他逮捕了梅諾斯。這時梅偉瑟發現了梅諾斯不只運送注射器外殼，在一個隱藏力場後面，有一大箱的有毒生化物質！
回到企業號上，亞契安慰特珀，他知道特珀最近升起的回憶並不容易處理。特珀回答他說，她已經恢復。而且，亞契如果需要用到他能信任的人，她隨時待命。

T'Pol is awoken in the middle of the night by a transmission from the Vulcan High Command. The only thing her interlocutor tells her is that they have located a man named Menos, three days from Enterprise's location.
The next morning, T'Pol informs captain Jonathan Archer that he will receive a transmission from Admiral Maxwell Forrest that will give him orders to assist T'Pol in a classified mission. She will need a shuttlepod, a pilot, restraints and phase pistols. Even if she is unwilling to tell the details of her mission at first, she later asks Archer to be part of the mission because she needs someone she can trust. The captain accepts when she accepts to tell him more about the mission.
Menos, the fugitive, is a Vulcan ex-agent that wouldn't return when his mission was over, and has been a smuggler since then. A couple of years ago, T'Pol, then under the Vulcan Ministry of Security, was in charge of aprehending six fugitives and Menos was the only one that she hadn't been able to catch. The Vulcan High Command, considering that a matter of honor, had this assigned to her again.
Archer, Travis Mayweather and T'Pol arrive at a bar situated on the Pernaia Prime moon. They have no difficulties apprehending Menos and from that point, it all looks like a successful mission. But the man appears harmless, tries to convince them that he is not a smuggler any more and is sustaining his family with an honest job (hauling spent warp injector casings). At the same moment, T'Pol has a strong flashback that comes from repressed memories and, with the manipulative attitude of Menos and all the facts that suggest that he is what he says (his ship contains only injectors casings), she begins to doubt herself.
She then goes outside the bar with Archer and explains to him that while she was running after Menos on Risa, years ago, she killed a man and didn't remember it until some minutes ago. Since she never knew if he was really hostile and had been confused by the fact, she went through a ritual meant to suppress that memory (she had in fact seven fugitives to track down). That only makes her unsure about Menos now. Their discussion is cut short by a disturbance in the bar. Menos caused a fire by kicking a table and claims that he would rather die on that frozen moon than be brought back to Vulcan for crimes he didn't commit. T'Pol then decides to free him from the restraints and he quickly vanishes.
When they go to his ship, they don't find him aboard. After a little investigation, Travis finds a system still online on the ship and that reveals a secret area behind a cloaking field where Menos was hiding. He tries to escape, but in the end, T'Pol has a phase pistol pointed at him. He still almost gets away by playing with T'Pol's insecurities, but Archer interferes at this moment and T'Pol finally stuns him. Back on the ship, Travis has found interesting things: the man was effectively smuggling biotoxins.
Back on Enterprise, T'Pol thanks Archer for what he did on the moon and says that if he ever needs someone he can trust, she will be glad to return the favor.
Background Information
- The Seventh refers to the seventh rogue operative, Jossen, who T'Pol killed. It is also coincidentally the seventh episode of the season.
- It seems Menos was working for the Axanar, as most of his cargo containers have the Axanar written language on them.
- Among the aliens at the bar on Pernaia's moon was a Kreetassan, several Klingons, several members of the shapeshifting species from "Two Days and Two Nights", and a member of Kago-Darr's species.
