- Jan 2155. Alternate Universe series of episodes have ended.. This is a new story-line. Enterprise returns to Earth in order to attend the formation of a "Coalition of Planets". Nathan Samuels, a United Earth government minister, gives a speech, but he fails to mention the contribution the Enterprise made to get the aliens to work collaboratively. The coalition has set a goal to draft a charter for joint exploration of planets in 6 weeks.
A woman, later identified as Susan Khouri (Christine Romeo), staggers over to T'Pol and produces a vial containing a hair follicle (and says "they are going to kill her"), before collapsing and dying from a phaser wound. Back on board Enterprise, Doctor Phlox examines the hair's DNA, learning it is from the child (not more than 6 months old) of Commander T'Pol and Commander Tucker, but T'Pol denies ever being pregnant.
Captain Archer meets with Nathan Samuels (Harry Groener), who is concerned that news of the child will stir xenophobic sentiment. He says that Earth is against aliens after the Xindi attack and this news spreading will be detrimental to the conference and the formation of the Coalition of Planets.
Lieutenant Reed is ordered by Archer to liaise with Harris (Eric Pierpoint) of Section 31. He is informed that Khouri was a member of Terra Prime, an anti-alien movement. Khouri was trying to leave the movement and was killed. Harris thinks Terra Prime has something to do with the kid, that its own parents know nothing about.
Meanwhile, in the Terra Prime headquarters on the Moon, John Frederick Paxton (Peter Weller) and Doctor Mercer (Patrick Fischler) discuss the child. Paxton has T'Pol and Tucker's child in his possession. Paxton holds Mercer responsible for Khouri's escape. After Mercer leaves, Paxton sends for Daniel Greaves (Peter Mensah) and tells him to deal with Mercer. On Earth, Archer tells Samuels that he knows that the minister was a former member of Terra Prime and convinces him to provide a case file on Khouri. Meanwhile, Ensign Mayweather gives his reporter ex-girlfriend, Gannet Brooks (Johanna Watts), a tour of the ship.
On the Moon, Paxton watches footage of Colonel Phillip Green (Steve Rankin) ("The Savage Curtain") (who was the founding member of Terra Prime. Green was a general in the 3rd world war. After the war he killed thousands of humans who suffered radiation damage to their bodies. In Paxton's eyes, Green prevented a lot of suffering in future generations). Greaves enters and updates Paxton on the status of the child, and Paxton injects himself in the neck with an unknown substance. Back on the Enterprise, Phlox then reports that Khouri's body contained traces of a substance used in a zero-gravity mining facility (The nearest is on the moon, which is also an hotbed of Terra Prime activity).
T'Pol and Tucker volunteer for an away mission to the Moon. They find that a doctor was found dead at the mining facility & they know that this was linked to Khouri. Disguised as miners, they are quickly detained after Brooks apparently leaks details of the mission. Archer and Reed detain Brooks on the Enterprise, as spy for Terra prime. Paxton reveals that the entire mining complex is a warp capable ship, and the vessel travels to Mars where it takes control of the Verteron array, which normally protects the Earth from comets. He uses the array to fire a warning shot and issue an ultimatum - that all non-humans must immediately leave Earth.
