Throughout the course of the Xindi arc, we've seen how Archer has come to terms to on what it will take to accomplish the mission. Now he can add robbery with a deadly weapon to the list. Raiding an alien vessel and stealing stuff had to be one of the more difficult decisions he has had to make - second only to killing Trip's clone in 'Similitude'. As Spock would have probable said, he has "shown the very flower of humanity". Archer's characteristics showed what just about any human would do when they are desperate. What was even more revealing was how he tried to reason and justify his actions. I guess your typical psychiatrist would say that this was a sign of him holding on to what's left of civilized self before going insane. One has to wonder that even if Archer and gang are successful, will Archer ever be able to live with the cost of success. One can be rest assured that there will probably be a few more moral dilemmas to face before all this is over. If the series does continue, it will be interesting to see how these events affects the long term character of Archer.

One has to give some credit to the writers for a sci-fi explanation of T'Pol's emotional outbursts over the season. Who would of thought that T'Pol would be hooked to Trellium-D like a drug addict. Oh well, I guess we all have our weaknesses. Compliments to go to Blalock for T'Pol's drug addiction portrayal.  It was "emotionally" entertaining to watch T'Pol come to terms with her addition. An emotional Vulcan over the course of this season was something that did not make any sense nor was supported by fans. The Trellium-D explanation was a bit creative to explain an obvious error in Vulcan characterization.

Over all a good morality episode. Previous Enterprise episode cliffhangers have had a the reputation of poor follow-up episodes. However, this one did a good job. Now the crew must take a moment to morn their fallen comrades and move on with the mission.
