Summary: A group of Vulcan monks pray in a monistery while a group of four Andorians break into the monistery. Archer decides to visit the monistery called P'jem. T'Pol expresses her misgivings about the visit to Dr. Plox. Archer, T'Pol, and Tucker visit P'jem. T'Pol realizes something is wrong. Archer discovers an andorian is hiding behind a small wall. He and Tucker grab the alien. The other Andorians quickly appear, from hiding places, to take the crew hostage along with the Vulcan monks. Shran (Jeffrey Combs) does not believe Archer when he says that they are only there for a visit. Shran thinks that P'jem is more than just a sanctuary. Meanwhile, the Enterprise crew discover an alien ship in orbit while Archer is being beaten for information. Using one of the communicators, Shran threatens the Enterprise, and then he destroys all the communicators. To get a message to Enterprise, Tucker fixes an old Vulcan transmitter in a hidden and secret passageway. Archer and T'Pol argue over an armed assult on the Andorians. Tucker contacts the Eterprise, and he informs the crew to stand by for further orders from the captain. Archer and the others make a plan while the Andorians become impatient. Archer acts as a distraction while his crew beam down to help. The Andorians investigate an energy surge while the crew rush into the secret passageway. An explosion occurs and a fire fight ensues. The hostages are rescued and head into the passageway. After another fire fight, the crew discovers that the Andorians were correct in assuming that the Vulcans are spying on them They find long range Vulcan sensors set to spy on Andorian interests. Archer hands over information on the sensors to Shran from an Enterprise scanning device. The Andorians leave P'jem owing Archer a debt.
