"There's a difference between keeping an open mind and believing something because you want it to be true." - T'Pol

The Enterprise runs into a transport ship that is bringing a group of people to a religious experience. After inviting the group onboard the Enterprise, they discover there is a Suliban who has infiltrated the Enterprise.

This episode we meet Daniels the time-travelled.

I like this episode, even with some of the problems that it has in the end. I like how there is a genuine suspicion of both Daniels and Silik. The technology and stories that Daniels had and told were good.

Seeing Phlox interested in religion and how he studied Earth religions was cool.

The only problem I had with this episode is at the end when the shuttle bay doors open and the atmosphere escapes. Archer was in the bay and the air was all purged, he should have been dead. But, it does look like he was holding is breath, maybe that could have saved him. The other thing is that Silik jumped into the vacuum of space. How did he survive the cold?
