Date not given: Hoshi and Trip return from an alien planet with a contagious and incurable infection with a silicon-based virus. Their reactions and those of the rest of the crew are being observed by two non-corporeal Organians, as they have been doing it for hundreds of years with many different species. They may switch from one humanoid body to another for that purpose. What surprises them is how much compassion the humans show and that Archer is willing to sacrifice himself in order to save every single one of his crew. When Hoshi and Trip have died, the two Organians reveal themselves to the dying Archer, and one of them vows to save the crew and to break their long-standing rule not to interfere with the observed species.
