ARCHER: I know you will. I need to look after Trip now. [Sickbay] ARCHER: We'll talk again. We'll talk again...
ARCHER [on monitor]: I'll let you know right away. Archer out. [One of the worst incontiunity which I never forget and forgive. Trip became conscious and what has happend? Nothing! ]
[Sickbay] (Jon crosses to Trip's side. Trip's breathing is labored, and slowing. Jon puts his hand over Trip's heart, feeling his heartbeat. Trip takes one final breath, exhales. Jon feels the heart stop. Looks up to the monitor, the indicators all fall to zero. Trip is gone. Jon's grief washes over him. But he barely has time to process the loss of his best friend, because-- Trip speaks! TRIP: I have such respect for you, Captain Archer. [Such a shocking, gripping moment! I was holding my breath! And @sekundant: yes, a lot of missing scenes in this episode.]
TUCKER: Not exactly. I'm an Organian. a nonphysical life-form. (He sits up.) TUCKER: Trip is my host.
(Hoshi removes the sheet from over her head and sitting up.) HOSHI: You're breaking every rule we have.
ARCHER: I don't care about your rules. Tell me what happens to Trip and Hoshi when you're finished with their bodies.
ARCHER: Dead? I understand why you won't get involved with a species' natural development. I've faced that decision myself. It isn't an easy one to make.
