Wow this episode felt rapey. Having an alien force Hoshi to hang out in her underwear near the graves of the five women he previously forced into this relationship is one thing, but her leaving him to keep perpetuating the cycle endlessly is just messed up. The side story about finding another sphere wasn't very interesting either which didn't help anything. This one isn't awful by ENT standards, but is pretty bland by the standards of the rest of Trek.
We open with the sphere side story about T'Pol finding a bunch more of them and Trip getting a shuttlepod modified with shielding so she can't go on it. Hoshi meanwhile starts having creepy visions of some creepy guy who wants her to come hang out. She tells Archer so he goes with her to investigate and it turns out it is an even creepier looking alien. He offers them a bunch of info on the Xindi weapon if she will just hang with him for a bit. She agrees for some reason and things get bad fast. It turns out he has been reading her mind for weeks and has a bunch of graves of the previous women he has done this to. For no good reason she keeps dressing super sexy too. Eventually he decides she can't leave and tries to trap her so she threatens to destroy his psychic orb thing that lets him lure women but she doesn't apparently. Archer and Trip find another giant sphere thing and after being forced to land on it head back without incident. After Hoshi escapes the guy shows up in her mind again and gives her info on the Xindi for some reason.
Review: Another bland episode that got tied to the "main story" to keep it from being totally irrelevant.
