The next first-run episode of "Enterprise" is airing later this month, February 27. The episode, titled "Fusion" has been provided with an extensive summary originally taken from a script draft, so some details may turn out different than shown below.



"Fusion" involves the Enterprise receiving a transmission from a Vulcan transport vessel. When the Enterprise answers the hail, a Vulcan appears on the screen named "Tyrus." The Enterprise crew come to find out the Vulcans on that ship are civilians in a mission of exploration and are not your typical Vulcans. The Vulcans are exploring a new life, a balance between reason and emotion.



The Enterprise encounters a nebula. Tyrus explains to Archer if the Enterprise was a Vulcan ship, the Vulcans would send automated probes to avoid having to enter the nebula. Archer decides to do the opposite of what a typical Vulcan would do, and orders Travis to take the ship in. Enterprise enters the nebula, with the Vulcan ship attached to its side dock.



The extensive summary provided online purposefully stops before the ending, as to keep some of the mystery of what will happen later in the episode intact.
