Demons ( episode ) A xenophobic faction of Humanity threatens to undermine talks to form a new coalition of planets . ( Part 1 of 2 ) Summary . Teaser . In a corridor on the Orpheus mining facility on Luna , Earth ' s moon , Paxton and Mercer confer on the health of a baby girl – a Vulcan - Human hybrid . " " She looks so innocent . It ' s almost possible to forget what she represents " " , Paxton notes . Act One . Meanwhile , on Earth , the " Enterprise " crew has been called home to appear at a meeting of Human and alien delegates discussing the formation of a " Coalition of Planets " . Everyone applauds after a speech by Nathan Samuels , presiding over the convention – everyone except , whom Jonathan Archer orders to clap louder than he currently is . While Phlox remarks that he enjoyed Samuels ' speech , the rest of the crew is dismayed by Samuels ' failure to mention their contributions , without which the meeting would not be taking place . As the meeting adjourns and the crew begins to leave , Samuels compliments Hoshi Sato on the recent improvements she made to the universal translator . Travis Mayweather is intercepted by Gannet Brooks , a reporter covering the event – an old flame who still expresses romantic interest . Across the room , T ' Pol confides to Archer that Tucker had a point – the " Enterprise " crew was responsible for making the event possible – just before a medical technician , Susan Khouri , approaches and gives her a vial containing a hair follicle . Khouri warns " " they ' re going to kill her " " , then collapses , fatally wounded from a phase - pistol shot to the abdomen . Archer , Tucker , T ' Pol , and Malcolm Reed join Phlox in the " Enterprise " sickbay a while later , after Phlox has analyzed the hair follicle . Extensive DNA testing by Dr . Phlox reveals that the hybrid child is Tucker and T ' Pol ' s offspring . Shortly , T ' Pol is meditating in her quarters when Tucker arrives to discuss the matter . T ' Pol assures him she was never pregnant , yet somehow knows the child is theirs . Archer meets with Samuels elsewhere on the ship ; Samuels refuses to let the news of the child out into public , afraid it will stir anti - alien sentiments which have been heightened since the Xindi attack the year before , and fuel such factions as the Terra Prime movement , which could hurt the burgeoning coalition . Samuels urges Archer to let Starfleet conduct the legal investigation . However , at Archer ' s request , Reed meets in San Francisco at night with , the shadowy Section 31 agent , for information . Harris notes that Reed had asked him not to ever contact him again but Reed says " he " contacted him . Harris tells Reed that by agreeing to see him , Reed is acknowledging he still works for Section 31 . According to Harris , Khouri was a member of Terra Prime , and if the crew can find the child , they ' ll find the answers to the mystery of its origin . In Paxton ' s office on the moon , Paxton and Mercer discuss Khouri ' s – and Mercer ' s – allegiances where the child is concerned . Mercer is conflicted over Paxton ' s plans for the baby , but denies it . Paxton calls the child " an abomination " and claims " when the time comes , it will be treated as such " . Paxton sends for Daniel Greaves after Mercer departs and tells him to put together " a team " and to meet him at the " third junction in one hour " . Act Two . On Earth , Archer pays Samuels a visit in the delegates ' conference hall , where the Coridan ambassador argues with the Earth statesman . The Tellarite s have been pushing for a trade embargo against the Orion s , who have supposedly been attacking s , which the ambassador dismisses as " Tellarite slander " , citing that Coridan has traded with the Orions for centuries , and warns that his people will never agree to such s . As Archer joins them , Samuels introduces him to the ambassador , who excuses himself to go discuss diplomatic affairs with his government . The Starfleet chief investigator has rejected Archer ' s request for a case file ; Archer asks Samuels to intervene . After Samuels initially refuses , Archer reveals that he has learned Samuels was once a member of Terra Prime himself , which Samuels calls a mistake of his youth , having blamed a Denobulan pilot for his father ' s death in a flight accident . Samuels realizes he underestimated Archer and agrees to get him the case file . Brooks comes to see Mayweather in his quarters ; she claims she ' s doing a story on " Enterprise " from the crew ' s perspective . They get into an argument over their past romantic relationship , but Mayweather agrees to give her a tour of the ship . In sickbay , Tucker discusses his doubts over whether T ' Pol is telling the truth with Phlox , which Phlox dismisses as foolish . Tucker says his father always wanted a granddaughter , which he bugged Tucker ' s sister about constantly . Phlox points out that he got his wish . In his lunar complex office , Paxton watches a video recording of Colonel Phillip Green , made three years after a cease - fire ended World War III . Greaves enters ; they discuss the moral implications of Green ' s genocidal policies , before Greaves hands him a diskette containing a status report on the Vulcan - Human child ' s condition . After Greaves leaves , Paxton self - administers a hypodermic injection to his neck . Mayweather and Brooks ' tour ends up in launch bay 1 . When asked by the reporter which of he used to penetrate a sphere in the Delphic Expanse , he replies that it was " " . The two open the shuttlepod ' s hatch and go inside . Mayweather remarks that the crew is using the shuttlepods less and less due to everyone becoming comfortable with the use of the transporter . Mayweather remarks that when he saw Brooks at the conference earlier , he began to rethink some of the decisions he had made in his life . When she makes a joke about him now beginning to open up to her , he chides her for it . She tells him it is one of her bad habits and then suddenly kiss es him . She admits another bad habit of hers is being unable to hide her attraction to someone . " " You and your bad habits . . . " " , Mayweather remarks and then begins to passionately kiss her further . While Mayweather and Brooks are rekindling their romance , elsewhere the crew discusses Khouri ' s autopsy from her case file . Phlox has found levels of growth hormone containing traces of myofibrilin , used in the Orpheus mining facility , a hotbed of Terra Prime activity . Reed says Mayweather has " a friend " in the Orpheus facility who may be able to smuggle in an undercover team ; T ' Pol and Tucker volunteer for the mission . At the same time , on the moon , miner s remove rocks from what looks like a cave - in , and find Mercer ' s body buried beneath . Act Three . While Tucker and T ' Pol search the mining tunnels on the moon , T ' Pol informs him that she knows of his doubts . Tucker assures her that he completely believes her . In Mayweather ' s quarters , his relationship with Brooks takes a steamy turn . In bed together , they discuss goals ; Mayweather considers settling down , believing that another challenge for him to face may be staying in one place for a change . On the bridge , Sato informs Reed of a glitch in the universal translator system . Back at Orpheus , Josiah introduces himself to Tucker and invites him to a Terra Prime assembly . T ' Pol joins Tucker and tells him of Mercer ' s death and of his connection to Susan Khouri . On the ship , Brooks is placed under arrest for spying – Archer and Reed reveal to Mayweather that she ' s a member of Terra Prime . Tucker and T ' Pol ' s identities are discovered and they are taken hostage by members of Terra Prime . Inside , in Paxton ' s office , he compares Tucker and T ' Pol to Romeo and Juliet . He wonders if their " drama " will end happier than the suicide that Romeo and Juliet committed inside a medieval tomb . Tucker demands to know who Paxton is ; he reveals that he is in charge of the facility and that he leads the Terra Prime movement . He tells Tucker and T ' Pol that his ultimate goal is to return Earth to its " rightful owners " . He declares " " it is my life ' s work , it is what I was born to do , and there is no one , not an " alien " , not a Human , that will stop me from achieving " it " . " Act Four . Paxton orders Daniel Greaves to take the facility to launch mode . When Tucker asks Paxton where their destination is , he tells the engineer that " " this will be like a walk across the street " " for him . The enormous mining facility launches off of the moon ' s surface . Back on " Enterprise " , Brooks is being interrogated by Archer and Reed . Archer notes that her universal translator was reconfigured to record the alien delegates at the conference . Brooks denies doing anything wrong but Archer notes that , during a background check , they discovered that she had made three trips to the lunar colony in just the last month . She claims she was on assignment from her editor but Reed reveals that her editor " never " sent her there for a story . Archer asks her if she knows if Tucker and T ' Pol are in danger ; but she demands to speak to legal counsel . Archer angrily orders she be taken to the ship ' s brig and given whomever she requests . Archer tells a visibly hurt Mayweather that he ' s sorry . Just then , Archer is paged over the intercom . An officer tells the captain that the Orpheus mining facility has taken off of the surface of the moon . Afterwards , when the facility is in open space , Paxton reveals to Tucker and T ' Pol that Orpheus is actually a warp - capable vessel . Tucker says they ' ll be lucky if the facility does not tear itself apart at warp but Paxton says he plans on luck . With that , the facility proceeds to warp and flies to Mars . Archer orders a pursuit course and tells Sato to inform Starfleet that " Enterprise " is going after it . The facility lands on the surface of Mars . Terra Prime seizes control of the verteron array on the red planet , normally used to redirect comet s , and uses it to fire a blast of verteron energy at Luna as a demonstration . Paxton issues a demand via subspace radio for all non - Humans to leave the Sol system . " " As of this moment , mankind casts off the shackles of alien interference and now determines its own fate . Terra Prime " forever . " Archer stares at the viewscreen , uncertain what to do next . TO BE CONTINUED . . . Memorable quotes . " " Clap louder . That ' s an order ! " " " " How do you know ? " " " " I ' m Vulcan . " " " " It ' s estimated that there are at least five thousand unregistered aliens on Earth . Now , another study puts that figure at ten thousand . This insanity is the direct result of our government ' s policy and the enforcers of that policy , Starfleet ! We need to send a message to the people in power . And there ' s someone here tonight who is going to help us do just that . Commander Tucker , of the Starship " Enterprise " ! " " " " You ' ll also be interested to know that she has your eyes . . . and T ' Pol ' s ears . " " " " I ' m returning Earth to its rightful owners . I am giving Earth back to humanity , back to human beings . It is my life ' s work . It is what I was born to do , and there is no one , not an alien , not a human , that will stop me from achieving it . " " " " I have no intention of using this weapon again , provided that every single non - human on this planet leaves immediately . " " " " A new era is at hand , an era that will expose the concept of interspecies unity as an absolute and vicious lie . An era that will witness the advent of a human - centered consciousness that will place our world before all others . As of this moment , mankind casts off the shackles of alien interference and now determines its own fate . . . its own destiny . Terra Prime , forever . " " Links and references .
