Captain Archer decides to drop in uninvited on some Vulcan Monks and their sacred monestary/spa planet. However, they already had some guests...Andorians...the Vulcan's cold war enemy. The Andorians are blue devil humanoid type beings with some really freaky antennae, the function of which, I haven't yet determined. The Andorians, love kicking butt and the butt they loved to kick the most in this episode was Archer's. Captain Kirk would have been rolling in his grave if he had been born yet watching how Archer took beating after beating without even throwing a punch back. The Andorians, who call humans "pinkskins" take the landing crew hostage while they search the planet for some illegal spying equipment that they believe the Vulcans have on this planet in violation of their treaty. Even though Archer took a good whipping, that didn't slow him down from kind of forcing T'Pol to cuddle with him as the night became colder in their cell. Unfortanutely for T her nasal numbing spray had worn off and she had to endure the full human scent during the whole cuddle session.
Well, turns out the blue devils, whom my wife thought bore an eery resemblence to Billy Idol, were right, the Vulcans had a massive hidden spy station hidden underground. Archer and the Andorian make up and the Andorian said he was in Archer's debt.
The best line of the episode was when the Vulcans were explaining something, Trip said he "was all ears...no offense."
Keep your eyes peeled for that Andorian in future episodes. That "debt" will go farther than he realized.
