Rajiin ( episode ) " Enterprise " takes on board Rajiin , a beautiful , enigmatic passenger with ulterior motives . Summary . Teaser . The Xindi Council continues to monitor ' s advance through the Delphic Expanse and debates whether to develop a bio - weapon to be used instead of Degra ' s weapon . Since Degra has experienced setbacks for his weapon , Dolim wants to revisit the bio - weapon , even though it has been dismissed before ( at least by the Aquatic s , Primate s and Arboreal s ) . The majority decides to give Degra more time , though Kiaphet Amman ' sor warns that , if progress isn ' t made soon , they ' ll have to consider all option . Act One . Meanwhile , " Enterprise " is headed to the Xanthan homeworld where a chemist is said to be able to synthesize liquid trellium - D which will insulate the the ship hull against spatial anomalies within the Delphic Expanse . On the way , and T ' Pol are having another session to help him realign his neural pressure . Tucker is dedicated to the technique , as it ' s helping him , however he pauses during tonight ' s session to suggest stopping them altogether , due to the perceptions of the crew seeing him visit T ' Pol each night . T ' Pol dismisses his concern and , since it ' s not bothering her , they continue the exercises . Elsewhere , Captain Jonathan Archer has trouble sleeping through both the continued nightmare s and itching caused by his exposure to an alien mutagenic virus earlier and his recovery . Phlox gives him some ointment , and adds the healing process will not happen overnight . The " Enterprise " arrives on the Xanthan homeworld and an away team of Archer , Tucker and Malcolm Reed visit the floating bazaar where the chemist ' s shop is located . It ' s a very busy marketplace , but they eventually find it . Archer enters the barge and announces he has an appointment when B ' Rat says he is closed . Archer then reminds B ' Rat that they met at the deuterium station on another planet . B ' Rat tells them to come back later , but Archer presses him , stating that he claimed he could sell them formula to synthesize trellium - D . B ' Rat remembers him and asks about his well - being , but Archer seems impatient with the conversation because he is pressed for time . B ' Rat comments how rare trellium - D is when Tucker realizes he is only trying to drive the price of the formula up . B ' Rat asks about their interest in the Xindi , and Archer will only say they are on a diplomatic mission . B ' Rat mentions that the Xindi were there the week before . Reed asks B ' Rat where they could find them now . B ' Rat says he would direct them for a small fee . Archer then explains that Tucker has a list of items they would be willing to barter with , and that Tucker can work out the trade details for the information with B ' Rat . While Tucker and the chemist work out what to trade , Archer and Reed visit the merchant , Zjod , who met the Xindi earlier . The man , who is apparently in the slave trade , with several women on a platform , admits they came and left two days prior . He keeps turning the conversation to his women , but Archer isn ' t interested . However , one woman does catch his attention , though they leave , thanking the man for his time . As they leave to go back to the ship for the chemist ' s payment , Archer and Reed turn around to see the same slave woman running toward them , pleading for them to take her with them . They then protect her from the pursuing slave merchant and take her with them to the ship . In sickbay , Phlox looks her over and sees she is healthy , though he doesn ' t know her species . She says her name is Rajiin and thanks Archer for helping him . Archer makes it clear he doesn ' t accept slavery , and he will try to find her homeworld . She thanks him again . Act Two . The liquid trellium formula is purchased from B ' Rat in exchange for a variety of " exotic " spices , including pepper , paprika , mustard seed , and one Tucker is partial to , cayenne pepper . Tucker and Reed are then warned by B ' Rat to follow the protocols precisely , as liquid trellium - D is highly unstable . Meanwhile , Archer speaks with Rajiin over a meal . He hopes she is comfortable , and says she can look around . Rajiin is curious about the crew and their mission . Archer mentions the Xindi , but she only knows little about them . The ones she saw were reptilian Xindi . Tucker calls Archer away to brief him on their planning to synthesize the trellium . T ' Pol recommends synthesizing the compounds on E deck , within the emergency bulkhead s . Later that evening , Rajiin comes to Archer ' s quarters to talk to Archer and repay him for his kindness . Archer informs her they have located her home world of Oran ' taku , only two days away . She states she doesn ' t remember the place , but wants to thank him , and kisses him . Despite him saying it isn ' t necessary , the kiss appears to affect Archer , and Rajiin proceeds to scan him with her hands , allowing a view of his insides . Then , suddenly , Archer snaps out of it and sees her standing away from him . She asks him if he ' s all right and he says yes . Then then bids him goodnight , leaving him to recover from whatever happened . T ' Pol and Tucker ' s first attempt at synthesizing trellium - D is a delicate balance between input delta radiation and the pressure of the system . Unfortunately , no matter how Tucker changes the radiation , the pressure keeps rising and T ' Pol orders them out of the room . They return to see the aftermath of a major explosion in their workspace . T ' Pol suggests they have another neuro - pressure session before attempting the synthesis again . Meanwhile , Rajiin explores " Enterprise " , and comes across the transporter room , where she encounters Hoshi Sato . Rajiin says she ' s looking for the mess hall , which Sato states she ' s heading for , noticeably entranced by Rajiin . As they walk , Rajiin asks what Hoshi does , to which she replies " communications officer " . A look passes between the two , and Hoshi seductively states that she ' d love to hear Rajiin ' s language . Later , T ' Pol , preparing to meditate , is startled to find Rajiin entering her quarters . Act Three . Rajiin , noticeably bolder than earlier , claims that the door was unlocked and wanted to talk to T ' Pol . She starts to seduce T ' Pol physically and mentally , and T ' Pol asks her to leave . Rajiin gets more control over T ' Pol and starts scanning through her head and spine , but the Vulcan shows some resistance . Tucker comes to the door , but T ' Pol cannot answer and Rajiin starts to hurry with what she ' s doing . T ' Pol ' s able to push Rajiin away , but she comes back and knocks out T ' Pol , and , when Tucker finally opens the door himself , she attacks him as well when he checks T ' Pol and runs . However , Tucker remains conscious and alerts security . Rajiin then continues her plan , informing someone off the ship of her plan to use the transporter . Reed and his team pursue Rajiin , but she ' s able to seduce one of them , getting his phase - pistol and make it to engineering . Through her handling of the pistol and ability to evade the crew , she reveals she is much more than a slave girl . She then heads to the transporter room and is caught by Archer and another security team , informed that her communications have been jammed . He has her taken to the brig . Archer checks on T ' Pol in sickbay . Phlox doesn ' t exactly know what happened , but attributes her survival to Vulcan neurophysiology . Unfortunately , it ' ll be a few hours before Archer can talk to her . He then goes to the brig , demanding Rajiin to know what she was doing . She replies that her contacts will kill her if she tells him , but he replies he may do the same . She only says that she finds them admirable and doesn ' t want to see them harmed , recommending they let her go . Then , he gets word that two ships are approaching – Xindi - Reptilian . Act Four . The two ships immediately attack " Enterprise " , knocking it out of warp . In the brig , Archer tries again to ask her , but is soon informed that one of the ships is attempting to board . He starts to leave to organize the crew , but then Rajiin gives in , telling him that the Xindi want medical information on Humans for a bio - weapon they ' re building . Archer orders the brig secured and protected . The MACO s and crew engage three boarding parties made up of Xindi - Reptilians and Xindi - Insectoids . The " Enterprise " crew ' s weapons are unfortunately not very effective against them , and they fall back . The team protecting the brig is incapacitated by the reptilians by a strange organic grenade . The reptilians break open the brig and take Rajiin away with them . Archer chases the retreating aliens only to be tackled by one sacrificing himself to be left behind . The alien is incapacitated as Archer sees Rajiin behind the closing door of the airlock . The " Enterprise " pursues the ships , but they soon escape through a subspace vortex which loses them . The alien who sacrificed himself is dead , apparently using a genetically enhanced suicide gland . Archer orders a complete autopsy and a thorough analysis of the Xindi rifle from Reed . He orders T ' Pol to analyze the vortex . The Reptilians announce their completed mission at the next Xindi Council , infuriating the majority as it was unauthorized and leaves them vulnerable through exposure of their plans to the Humans . They bring out Rajiin and she reluctantly uploads the data necessary to create the bio - weapon . She also tries to state that there is more to Humans than they realize , but Commander Dolim orders her away . Memorable quotes . " " You were transformed into a different species .
