YATI :
When the Klingon demands Archer's surrender, Archer points out that the Klingon ship is no match for Enterprise and makes him back down. But surely every Klingon dreams of a glorious death in battle? Surely the Klingon captain would jump at the chance of attacking Archer and being destroyed? And since Archer has supposedly just spent time reading up on the Klingon culture, shouldn't he know better than to make a threat like this in the first place?
Great Moment :
It's nice to see a new, less cowardly Hoshi.
Body Count :
Zero.

Plotline
Investigating a gas giant, Enterprise discovers an alien ship slowly sinking into the atmosphere. A shuttlepod goes to investigate, and finds that the ship is a damaged Klingon scout ship with virtually the whole crew disabled by a disease. A surviving Klingon steals the shuttle pod, stranding Reed, Hoshi and T'Pol on the alien ship. Archer manages to capture the escaping Klingon, and must convince her to help his officers before her ship is crushed.
