消失點
星和崔普在調查一個原始遺跡，他們照相，討論這些曾住在這星球的的居民們，可能發生了什麼事。突然，亞契向他們聯絡，要他們馬上回企業號，有一個暴風正向他們逼近。當兩人準備登上穿梭艇，亞契又再次向他們聯絡。暴風的情況比他預期的緊急，崔普和星必須用傳送器傳回來，一次一個人。星會怕，要崔普先傳，等他安全登艦了，再傳送她。
回到企業號以後，星有一種奇怪的感覺，她想只要休息一下就好了。接著，她和其他船員一起用餐，很奇怪地，她好像完全被視若無睹，但是伏拉士醫生堅稱她完全沒有問題。第二天，星被召喚到艦橋。崔普和梅偉瑟在取回太空艇的時候，被異星人抓住，扣留為人質。亞契要星破解異星人的語言，但是星無法完成她的任務。更令她沮喪的是，亞契要她回艙房，把她的任務派給另一位船員貝爾德
接著，星知道貝爾德輕易的解破了那語言，兩名軍官也安全的回來。星仍然無法執勤，貝爾德接替了她的職位。星覺得自己很沒用，也開始發現一些奇怪的事：淋浴的水好像會穿透她的身體，渦輪電梯不理會她，她好像聽到一些奇怪的聲音。沮喪的星再次找伏拉士，醫生仍堅稱她沒事。
沮喪的星去健身房運動。但是她的手穿透了舉重啞鈴，自動門也對她沒反應。照鏡子的時候，星發現她變得完全透明了。其他的船員發現她失蹤，進行搜尋。雖然他們看不到她，她還是跟在船員們身邊，想辦法告訴他們她還活著。船員們覺得星的失蹤和傳送器混亂有關，看來她的分子被打散了。在隱形狀態的星發現一件麻煩的事，異星人混入企業號，裝了爆裂物，不久就會引爆。星拼命想辦法通知船員，甚至使用摩斯密碼，但卻一點效果也沒有。
星發現異星人帶著引爆器前往傳送板。她很快的決定，她唯一能做的事是跟蹤他們。她克服了心中的恐懼，跳進傳送板。她又聽到聲音。突然，她發現自己在企業號上物質化，那聲音是崔普和李德的講話聲，他們在進行把她傳送回來的工作。神秘的異星人消失了。
李德和崔普告訴星，她被困在模式緩衝器裡有幾秒鐘的時間。星才明白，剛才的困難考驗，只存在她的腦海中；那是她從星球表面，被傳送回來的那段時間。星鬆了一口氣，快快的給伏拉士檢查一下，然後告訴亞契，目前她只肯搭太空艇。

Hoshi and Trip are on a planet, taking pictures and gathering data from a set of ruins. They must leave their work when a diamagnetic storm approaches. But before they can make it to the shuttlepod, another storm closes very fast and they are forced to use the transporter.
Being the first time she used the transporter, Hoshi feels that things are not right after the incident. She sees her reflection in the mirror fade away and water drops passing through her hands when she takes a shower, besides other things. She goes for a night's sleep, hoping to feel better in the morning. She is wakened by an emergency call from the captain and realizes she overslept by three hours. Back on the bridge, Archer informs her that Trip and Mayweather have been taken hostage on the planet (by aliens that weren't detected the day before), but Hoshi is not able to be of any help, failing to translate a simple bi-modal grammar (as we learn later).
After some visits to the doctor, Phlox still can't find anything wrong, attributing Hoshi's strange experiences to a trauma caused by the transporter. But only a little while later, when in the gym, Hoshi completely vanishes, still being conscious but not being able to interact with her environment.
The crew begin to search actively for her. She learns that Phlox hasn't seen any details that seems to explain her present condition. She also learns that the initial problem was in the transporter, confirming her initial theory. She is not able to tell the crew that she is still alive and can't help but watch when Archer calls her father to inform him of her death.
In her wandering through the Enterprise, Hoshi encounters two aliens that are planting bombs throughout the ship. She is not able to warn anyone and, in the end, she takes it on herself to save Enterprise. That eventually leads her to use a transporting device from the aliens and she is mysteriously taken back to the transporting room where Malcolm explains that she has been trapped for 8.3 seconds in the pattern buffer because of the storm, and that all her recent experiences were dreams.
