As the Enterprise ventures further into the Expanse, a powerful set of anomalies hit the ship. Archer rescues T'Pol from under a pile of debris but gets hit by an anomaly wave for his efforts. Archer wakes up to find that his brain has been infected with unknown parasites that exist outside the space-time continuum. These parasites don't allow Archer to make new memories, so he wakes up each day to a world he does not know.
The joking of my title aside, I loved this episode. Seeing this alternate timeline where Archer is no longer involved with the battle of the Xindi was fascinating to watch. I loved the progression of the Archer-T'Pol relationship as she feels a sense of gratitude and obligation for the price that Archer took for her. It's very ambiguous what has occurred between the two living in that hut all these years.
The initial scene of Earth blowing up was very touching, even more so when you know the back story. Originally I just assumed Archer was having some kind of nightmare. Everyone's acting in this episode is top-notch and there's just the right amount of action for an Enterprise episode.
Definitely my favorite episode of ST:E (and only the 2nd that I gave 10 stars to), this is a must watch for any Star Trek fan or really just any fan of great television.
