Date not given: Archer and T'Pol arrive in the Syrranite sanctuary, where they learn that man who called himself Arev was actually Syrran himself, the founder of the movement. It turns out that Archer is now carrying Surak's katra. Surak tells Archer to go search for the Kir'Shara, an ancient artifact that holds his original writings and that could help renew the Vulcan society. T'Pau makes an effort to recover Surak's katra through a mind meld with Archer, but she fails. Soval is about to lose his position because of the mind meld he performed, and he tries in vain to convince the High Command that the traitors are actually among them. The former ambassador returns to Enterprise. An attempt to rescue Archer and T'Pol from the Forge is unsuccessful, and Enterprise has to retreat when Vulcan cruisers attack the ship. Archer, T'Pol and Surak find the Kir'Shara while the area is being bombarded by the High Command. T'Les dies in the attack. Meanwhile on Enterprise, Soval reveals the High Command's plans to attack the Andorians because these are allegedly going to launch a Xindi weapon against Vulcan. Trip sets a course for Andorian space.
