In this episode, while investigating the Delphic Expanse for a Xindi superweapon, the Enterprise responds to the distress call of a Vulcan ship.
En route, T'Pol informs the other members of the away team that the Vaankara had been sent into the Expanse to find the Seleya, but the crew began to attack one another and the ship was destroyed.
Archer and the away team fight their way to the Seleya's Engineering section, where they attempt to re-route the bulkhead controls on the ship so they can get back to their shuttle.
They discuss a general override, which would unlock the bulkheads, but also shut down the containment on the warp core, and T'Pol accuses Archer of wanting to kill all the Vulcans.
Archer's away team head back to the shuttle and arrive moments before the Seleya is due to explode, but find the docking clamps locked.
Tucker announces enough ore was recovered to shield the forward hull, but Archer notes that it will harm T'Pol, and orders it stored in a bio-hazard locker until a cure can be created.
[5][6] Michelle Erica Green of TrekNation was prepared for the worst based on the previews for this episode, but said it "is actually a well-done haunted ship story".
She noted that the "script could have seemed really hackneyed were the visuals and the emotional focus not so perfectly controlled", and praised "a spot-on performance by Jolene Blalock and superb directing by David Livingston.
"[7] Jamahl Epsicokhan at his website Jammer's Reviews described the episode as "sort of a guilty pleasure" due to the "superficial visual qualities", but said that it lacked substance.
