The crew of the Enterprise find more than pleasure during shore leave on Risa.
[edit] Plot
After arriving at planet Risa, half the Enterprise crew prepare for shore leave. As some of the crew need to stay onboard, Captain Jonathan Archer organises lots. Winning a vacation himself, Archer boards a shuttlepod along with Commander Trip Tucker, Lt. Reed, and Ensigns Mayweather and Hoshi Sato. Once the shuttlepod lands on Risa, the crew all go their separate ways.
Arriving at his room, Archer notices a beautiful alien woman and her dog in the cabin just below his. Later, the alien woman's dog finds its way onto his porch. When the woman arrives, Archer strikes up a conversation, learning her name is Keyla. Later, they meet again, and discuss their homeworlds, and Archer learns the Suliban massacred Keyla's entire family. When Archer admits he has encountered the Suliban, Keyla floods him with questions, putting him on the defensive. Archer covertly takes a bio-scan of Keyla, learning that she is actually Tandaran, the same species that ran a Suliban concentration camp. Confronting Keyla with the truth, she renders him unconscious and leaves.
Meanwhile, Hoshi is approached at a restaurant by a handsome alien. Introducing himself as Ravis, the two hit it off. Hoshi asks Ravis to both join her for lunch and to teach her his complex native language. Finding the language nearly impossible to learn, Ravis invites her to the exotic steam pools - Hoshi accepts. The next morning, Hoshi awakens with Ravis in bed beside her – both happy but sad that she has to rendezvous later with the shuttlepod.
Elsewhere, Trip and Reed are in a noisy nightclub, filled with exotic female aliens. Two women join them for a drink, and invite them to view some nearby subterranean gardens. Led into the basement underneath the bar, the "females" suddenly demand all of the men's valuables and morph into male aliens. Held at phaser-point, Trip and Reed are helpless as the aliens tie them up and rob them. Waking up later, and preferring not to be discovered in their underwear, the two finally cut their ropes, and make their way back to their hotel room.
Meanwhile, in Sickbay, Dr. Phlox prepares to take his annual hibernation. Normally requiring six days, Phlox informs Sub-commander T'Pol he should be ok with only two. Some time later, Mayweather contacts Enterprise after a rock climbing accident - having first been treated at a Risan hospital. Arriving back, Mayweather is unnerved by the absence of Phlox, but is assured by Crewman Cutler that she can handle his broken leg. The ensign later has some trouble breathing, forcing Cutler and T'Pol to awaken Phlox. The doctor is extremely disorientated and incoherent, but is still able to create a suitable antidote. Once administered Phlox collapses back into hibernation.
On Risa the next morning, the Enterprise crew members take the shuttlepod back to their ship, each with an interesting story to tell.
