Episode Summary

As Captain Jonathan Archer and T'Pol reach the Syrrannite compound after crossing the treacherous Forge expanse, they are immediately treated like traitors. But as T'Pol's mom T'Les comes forward, the Syrrannite de facto leader T'Pau backs off a bit, especially after she realizes a dangerous exchange has taken place. Before he died, the Syrrannites revered leader Syrran mind-melded with Archer, giving the captain his "katra.? The Syrrannites regard the "katra? as the living spirit of Surak, a man who died 2,000 years ago and is considered the greatest Vulcan who ever lived. Archer, who has been feeling strangely since Syrran mind-melded with him, is having visions of Surak, and realizes that the notions of katra must be true. Further, while T'Pau tries to extract the katra from Archer through another type of mind-meld, Surak resists, staying firmly planted in Archer's consciousness. Surak has decided that Archer should have this katra; Vulcans cannot possibly understand the severity of dangers they currently face. In trying to protect Vulcans, Surak believes that Archer is his best recourse in saving his race.

Episode Quotes
 
Minister Kuvak: Your accomplishments have been noteworthy.
Administrator V'Las: They don't justify deception...
Ambassador Soval: Deception has never been a stranger to this room.
 
Ambassador Soval: (to Administrator V'Las) There's a great deal that needs to be said, Excellency, but no one's willing to listen.
 
Captain Archer: (to T'Pau) I'm here to find the person who bombed the Earth embassy. Her name is T'Pau and she looks a hell of a lot like you!
 
Captain Archer: Right before Arev died, he grabbed me, he put his hand on my forehead. I felt something inside...my head.
T'Pol: Do you think he was trying to meld with you?
Captain Archer: I don't know...but ever since I haven't been myself.
 
Surak: You don't trust Vulcans, Captain, and given your experiences with them, I can't say I blame you. The culture you've come to know isn't the one I helped to create. My people have strayed, and someone must restore them to the path.
Captain Archer: You've got the wrong man.
Surak: Sorry Captain, there's an Earth expression: "we're stuck with each other." Don't fight what's been given to you. Open your mind and your heart and the way will become clear.
 
Captain Archer: You know, I'm the one with the Vulcan ghost in his head, depending on who you believe, but I don't feel half as bad as you look.
T'Pol: I'm considering our options.
Captain Archer: At least we know your mother's okay.
T'Pol: She's joined a violent cult. She's not okay.
Captain Archer: I don't think these people had anything to do with the Embassy.
T'Pol: You sound convinced.
Captain Archer: Let's just say its more than a gut feeling.
 
Captain Archer: I've had my fill of mind melds.
T'Pau: The prospect doesn't appeal to me either. I've never melded with a human before. Your...unchecked emotions will, no doubt, prove distasteful.
 
Trip: Mind if I ask you something? Why are you doing this? I never got the impression that you cared that much about Humans. Seems like...you were always finding something new to complain about.
Ambassador Soval: I lived on Earth for more than 30 years, Commander. In that time, I developed an affinity for your world and its people.
Trip: You did a pretty good job of hiding it.
Ambassador Soval: Thank you.
 
Administrator V'Las: Why did you launch a shuttlepod?
Trip: Why the hell did you fire on it?
 
Minister Kuvak: You're presiding over a massacre.
Administrator V'Las: We are eliminating a threat.
