Enterprise Episodes
“Star Trek: Enterprise” Episode Titles
Set in the 22nd century, a hundred years before James T. Kirk helmed the famous starship of the same name, ENTERPRISE takes place in an era when interstellar travel is still in its infancy. Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) has assembled a crew of brave explorers to chart the galaxy on a revolutionary spacecraft: Enterprise NX-01. As the first human beings to venture into deep space, these pioneers will experience the wonder and mystery of the final frontier as they seek out new life and new civilizations. (from the press release for the series)
First Season – Second Season – Third Season – Fourth Season
- September 26, 2001: Broken Bow (Pilot): Scott Bakula stars in this Star Trek prequel set one century before the Capt. Kirk era, about 150 years from today. Enterprise follows the adventures of Earth’s first warp-driven starship, commanded by Bakula’s willful Capt. Jonathan Archer. Sharp dialogue and touches of sly continuity (Citizen Baines’ James Cromwell briefly reprises his Zephram Cochrane role from the film First Contact) spark the explosive premiere, as Archer volunteers to go where no human has gone before to return a Klingon to his home planet — over the objections of Earth’s Vulcan allies.
- October 3, 2001: Fight or Flight: The crew is restless after two weeks without contact with sentient life, but an encounter with an alien vessel soon alleviates the boredom as the away team discovers the ship is littered with corpses.
- October 10, 2001: Strange New World: The discovery of an Earthlike world proves irresistible to Trip, who persuades Archer to allow his survey team to camp on the planet’s surface — unaware of a gathering storm. After relocating into nearby caves, members of the crew become convinced they are being watched.
- October 17, 2001: Unexpected: After discovering the presence of a damaged alien vessel, Archer dispatches Trip to its aid, but the engineer’s encounter with a Xyrillian female has an unexpected side effect.
- October 24, 2001: Terra Nova: Archer’s determination to solve the mystery of Terra Nova, a legendary lost deep-space colony, leads to a tense encounter with a tribe of human-hating cave-dwellers.
- October 31, 2001: The Andorian Incident: Archer’s curiosity about an ancient monastery unwittingly places his crew in the midst of a long-standing interstellar conflict between the Vulcans and their arch rivals, the Andorians.
- November 7, 2001: Breaking the Ice: A Vulcan starship interferes with Archer’s probe of an oversize comet in a smartly-scripted episode that highlights T’Pol’s private turmoil. Early episodes have emphasized the tensions between humans and Vulcans, and no series character embodies that strife more than the icy T’Pol. Here, circumstances force a character thaw when Trip becomes privy to the content of coded — and personal — messages sent by T’Pol to the Vulcan vessel Ti’Mir. Ti’Mir’s captain (William Utay), meanwhile, is less than communicative with the suspicious Archer, who must swallow his pride when an emergency arises.
- November 14, 2001: Civilization: Disguised as locals, Archer and his expedition explore a civilization bedeviled by a virulent ailment possibly linked to a covert — and anomalous — nuclear reactor. Determined to find the truth, the captain teams up with a local apothecary (Diane DiLascio), leading to a close encounter between the two.
- November 21, 2001: Fortunate Son: Enterprise answers a distress signal from a damaged Earth freighter whose acting commander thirsts for revenge against the Nausicaan pirates who attacked his ship and wounded the captain. Directed by LeVar Burton (Star Trek: Next Generation).
- November 28, 2001: Cold Front: Archer invites a group of alien stargazers to witness a stellar event aboard Enterprise, not realizing the Suliban agent Silik (John Fleck) is among the guests. Robert Duncan McNeill (Star Trek: Voyager) directed the episode.
- January 16, 2002: Silent Enemy: The ship is attacked by an unidentified vessel. In other events, Archer wants to give Reed a personalized birthday present.
- January 23, 2002: Dear Doctor: The fascination with human behavior and culture expressed by Dr. Phlox in his letter to a peer is contrasted by his dissenting view of the crew’s treatment of a dying alien race.
- January 30, 2002: Sleeping Dogs: Archer dispatches a shuttle to the aid of a disabled Klingon vessel, whose leader orchestrates an ambush that leaves Reed, T’Pol and Hoshi stranded aboard the aliens’ unstable ship.
- February 6, 2002: Shadows of P’Jem: T’Pol’s sudden transfer from the Enterprise startles Archer, who can’t tell if he is more upset with the order or by her indifferent attitude about the reassignment. The captain’s frustrations are soon multiplied when both he and T’Pol are taken captive by militant Andorians.
- February 13, 2002: Shuttlepod One: Trip and Reed are dispatched on a shuttle mission to investigate an asteroid field and are cut off from Enterprise, thereby becoming convinced the starship has been destroyed and that their days are numbered. This episode was penned by series creators Brannon Braga and Rick Berman.
- February 27, 2002: Fusion: A renegade Vulcan sect gets under T’Pol’s skin in this well-scripted episode. Like most Vulcans, T’Pol buries her feelings beneath layers of logic, but the same cannot be said of the Vahklas, a group that embraces emotion. When the Enterprise encounters a ship carrying the sect, the disciplined T’Pol is wary, but agrees to experiment with their alternative lifestyle under the tutelage of the Vahkla Tolaris (Enrique Murciano). Veteran Trekkers may appreciate this episode for its manifestation of the Vulcan mind meld — a form of intimate telepathy (“my thoughts to your thoughts”)— some 100 years before the era of Mr. Spock.
- March 20, 2002: Rogue Planet: The crew explores a jungle planet that’s been turned into a hunting ground by a race of stalkers called the Eska. There, a shadowy woman makes contact with Archer.
- March 27, 2002: Acquisition: The crew battles Ferengi thieves in a witty episode accented by snappy dialogue. Star Trek alumni Ethan Phillips (Voyager) and Jeffrey Combs (Deep Space Nine) play cousins who are among the pirates boarding the Enterprise. The greedy Ferengi — who take pride in their 173 bizarre “rules of acquisition” — search for gold after sedating the crew with gas. But Trip, who had been half-naked in a decontamination chamber, escapes the vapors. He plots with Archer to thwart the aliens, and awakens a puzzled T’Pol to ask for her help. “Just because a guy’s in his underwear,” Trip quips, “you think the worst.”
- April 3, 2002: Oasis: After hearing of a supposedly haunted alien ship, Archer decides to cannibalize the ship’s husk to replenish Enterprise’s supplies and discovers the vessel is inhabited after all. Rene Auberjonois (Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) plays Ezrel.
- April 24, 2002: Detained: Dean Stockwell appears in a well-written tale that reunites him with his former Quantum Leap costar Scott Bakula. The story opens with Archer and Mayweather in a Tandaran prison alongside members of the shapeshifting Suliban. Col. Grat (Stockwell), the commandant, explains that the Tandarans are at war with the Suliban and that Archer’s shuttle was impounded after it entered a restricted area. “You might think about putting up a `no trespassing’ sign,” quips Archer. But Archer’s not amused when a prisoner (Dennis Christopher) tells him the Suliban — women and children included — are being imprisoned solely because of their race.
- May 1, 2002: Vox Solis: Following a series of misunderstandings that sent a group of visiting aliens off the Enterprise in a huff, an unidentifiable alien parasite boards the ship to feed off the crew’s bodies. It falls to insecure Hoshi to save her comrades by communicating with the creature. Roxann Dawson (Star Trek: Voyager) directed the episode.
- May 8, 2002: Fallen Hero: The Enterprise is ordered to retrieve Vulcan ambassador V’Lar, who stands accused of criminal misconduct, from the planet Mazar. Although T’Pol claims that “Vulcans don’t have heroes,” it’s obvious that she admires the diplomat — and is shaken by the charges leveled against her. Meanwhile, Archer becomes suspicious when emissaries from Mazar request V’Lar’s return for “additional questioning.”
- May 8, 2002: Desert Crossing: When Archer and Trip repair a vessel belonging to an alien leader (Clancy Brown) the Earthmen are repaid with an invitation to their new friend’s volatile world.
- May 15, 2002: Two Days and Two Nights: T’Pol talks Archer into joining the shore-leave party on the planet Risa, where he encounters a troubled alien beauty (Dey Young); Hoshi learns a new language from a local man (Rudolf Martin); a pair of aliens take advantage of Trip and Reed; Dr. Phlox’s hibernation is disrupted by Mayweather’s injury. Directed by Michael Dorn (who played Worf on Star Trek: The Next Generation).
- May 22, 2002: Shockwave: Archer and his crew are implicated in the deaths of alien colonists in a well-crafted cliffhanger that concludes the series’ maiden season. While en route to a Paraagan colony, a shuttle carrying Archer, T’Pol and Trip is knocked out of the atmosphere by a sudden explosion that kills the 3600 settlers below. Convinced that the Enterprise was somehow to blame, Archer is consumed with guilt, and his feelings intensify when Starfleet recalls the ship to Earth. As the crew prepares for the worst, a surprise visitor offers Archer startling new evidence about the colony’s demise.
Season 2 begins with Captain Archer and Daniels stranded in the 31st Century. We soon learn about the first ever contact between Vulcans and Humans. Later, the Enterprise finds itself in a cloaked minefield, radiation threatens everyone on board, the Enterprise gets held captive and much more.
- September 18, 2002: Shockwave, Part 2: The second year shifts into warp speed with a taut episode that picks up where last season left off — with the Enterprise surrounded by Suliban vessels and the sinister Silik insisting that Archer surrender to him. Archer, however, isn’t onboard. He’s stuck in the 31st century with time-traveler Daniels, who plucked him from the past to save the future. But Archer’s absence has caused a major ripple in time: The once vibrant city Daniels whisked him to is now decimated and deserted… and the Federation never existed. Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise, T’Pol allows the Suliban to board the ship.
- September 25, 2002: Carbon Creek: T’Pol entertains Archer and Trip with the tale of a crash-landed Vulcan ship, whose stranded crew lived in disguise among the denizens of a Pennsylvania mining town circa 1957.
- October 2, 2002: Minefield: Archer learns what makes Lt. Reed tick when the pair try to defuse a mine that has affixed itself to the Enterprise. Since dutiful Malcolm Reed isn’t the ship’s most gregarious officer, the outgoing Archer tries to break the ice with a casual breakfast. To Reed’s relief, the awkward get-together is interrupted by the discovery of an uncharted world. His relief is short-lived, however, when the Enterprise strikes a mine en route to the planet, setting off an explosion that damages the ship. When another mine latches onto the hull, Reed is sent into space to dislodge the warhead, only to suffer an injury that impels Archer to come to his aid.
- October 9, 2002: Dead Stop: Following the ordeal in the minefield, the crew links up with an automated repair vessel that troubles Archer when its computer steals information from the Enterprise’s data banks.
- October 16, 2002: A Night in Sickbay: Archer is fuming after the Kreetassans refuse to part with parts for Enterprise because of a diplomatic gaffe involving his dog, Porthos, which then falls ill with a mysterious disorder. But Dr. Phlox thinks there’s more to Archer’s rants than meets the ear.
- October 23, 2002: Shockwave, Conclusion: In this taut episode, the Enterprise is surrounded by Suliban vessels and the sinister Silik is insistent that Archer surrender to him. Archer, however, isn’t onboard. He’s stuck in the 31st century with time-traveler Daniels, who plucked him from the past to save the future. But Archer’s absence has caused a major ripple in time: The once vibrant city Daniels whisked him to is now decimated and deserted…and the Federation never existed. Meanwhile, back on the Enterprise, T’Pol allows the Suliban to board the ship.

- November 6, 2002: The Seventh: T’Pol and Archer team up to nab a corrupt Vulcan in a tautly scripted episode. T’Pol is troubled when she receives orders from the Vulcan High Command to locate a traitorous mole named Menos (Bruce Davison), who was planted on a rival planet 30 years earlier. Posing as a smuggler, Menos profited from the illegal-weapons trade he was sent to derail. While T’Pol has chased down such renegades before, a series of disturbing flashbacks prompts her to ask for the captain’s help with the mission, which was assigned to her without his approval. Putting aside his displeasure over the snub, Archer agrees to accompany her to the frozen moon where their quarry has been located.
- November 13, 2002: The Communicator: Archer and Reed go undercover on a preatomic-era alien world to retrieve a communicator Reed left behind on a previous visit and they’re captured and held as spies.
- November 20, 2002: Singularity: As the Enterprise nears a black hole, members of the crew are exposed to radiation, which causes them to become increasingly obsessed with mundane tasks. Trip, for example, can’t stop tinkering with the captain’s chair, while Phlox is fiercely determined to find the cause of Mayweather’s headache.

- February 5, 2003: Stigma: In this affecting AIDS allegory, Jolene Blalock exudes a cool vulnerability as T’Pol, who reveals that she has a rare illness linked to a sect of Vulcan outcasts.¶The pointed episode, which continues the Star Trek tradition of addressing social issues through its sci-fi storylines, finds T’Pol confronting the symptoms and stigmas involved with Pa’nar’s syndrome. It’s a brain ailment associated with mind melders — the telepathic, emotional Vulcans ostracized by their logical, unemotional peers. Wary of the disgrace that disclosure might bring, T’Pol hides her condition while Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley) discreetly consults Vulcan physicians about treatment.
