"Ogre"

The Enterprise is in the Epsilon Indi sector charting a rogue planet that was discovered by an Andorian ship on its long range sensors, they didn't have the time to do a closeup review, and Andoria was busy with the Vulcan/Andorian incident fallout, so Shran informed Archer of the planet as he knew the ship was in the area, and figured the Pink Skin would be interested in it.
The planet, which Hoshi has named Hitori, "Alone" seems to be frozen over, uninhabitable except for a deep canyon that is 20 km long and 3km wide that has a breathable atmosphere and warmth from volcanic activity nearby. T'pol detects a crashed ship in the canyon, but says it crashed 300 years ago. Archer, Tpol, and Hoshi take a shuttle pod down and discover that the whole canyon is covered in bio luminescent flora and fauna ( think Pandora on Avatar). When they reach the crashed ship, it is long since disintigrated from time, however T'pol detects a power source further along the canyon.
When they reach the power source, they find a small building that has been maintained, but when they try to go in they hear a loud roar, and Hoshi is hit with an arrow in the shoulder. They see a 3 meter tall behemoth, humanoid, they fall back and tend to Hoshi, and wonder what they can do.

In the end they discover that it is the last survivor of the wreak, and they offer to take it home.

B Plot: Mayweather tells Reed of a similar rogue planet that he encountered when he was 10.

Next episode: "Banshee"

 

[Firebird]

"Banshee"

Enterprise stops at one of those "Brigadoon"-type colony planets whose comically-terrible Irish inhabitants will inevitably draw complaints and letters to UPN and Paramount that Rick Berman will use to light a cigar before tossing into the waste basket.

Archer will have an ill-advised romance with a Maureen O'Hara rip-off character whom the writers will try to fool the audience into thinking she'll go along with the ship at the end of the episode before Berman's obsession with the status quo throws that future plotline out the airlock.

Somehow, the episode ends with a five-minute fistfight between Archer, Porthos, and the evil land baron guest star, played by Brendan Gleeson. Malcolm Reed drunkenly duets "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" with Trip as pints of Space Guinness are tossed around during the barfight. Phlox discovers the hard way a pint of dark beer violently disagrees with him. Hoshi is tormented by leprechauns.

As the late Michael Piller once told Rick Berman: "I dare you."
