Having freed the Augments Dr. Soong heads to Cold Station 12 with them with the intention of getting the embryos of several thousand Augments that are stored there along was other extreme bio-hazards. Soong doesn't want to hurt anybody but Malik has no such worries and is happy to kill anybody who doesn't share his 'perfection'. In order to find where Soong might be he heads to his former base where he finds Smike, an Augment who had been banished by the others as he hadn't acquired the superior abilities of the others. As they near CS12 Soong tells Archer to back off or he will execute the head of the establishment; Archer agrees but just before they are out of transporter range he leads an away team on a raid against Soong and his Augments. This doesn't go well though and Soong escapes with the embryos setting us up for the third and final part of this three episode story.
While the regular cast did a good job the episode was stolen by Brent Spiner who was fantastic as Soong, even though Soong is obviously the villain of the episode Spiner's portrayal of him was sympathetic in a way which meant he wasn't just a typically evil cartoon villain. The Augments were far less sympathetic, especially mullet-haired leader Malik who is a little too keen to kill people.
