"Two Days and Two Nights" is the twenty-fifth episode (production #125) of the television series Star Trek: Enterprise. The episode won the 2002 Emmy Award for Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series.[3] The television show episode first aired on UPN on May 15, 2002.[4] This episode was directed by Michael Dorn, with the story by Rick Berman and Brannon Braga, and the teleplay by Chris Black.[5]
Captain Archer and the crew of Enterprise take shore leave on Risa. Back on their spacecraft Enterprise (NX-01), the alien Phlox enters hibernation,[4] while T'Pol keeps an eye on the starship.[5] The episode features numerous guest stars playing the roles of those that the crew of the NX-01 encounters on during their visit to the pleasure planet.[5]
This was the last of three appearances by Kellie Waymire, as Crewman Cutler. Waymire had a recurring role on Six Feet Under and her character was not used again. The actress died in November 2003, after half of season three had been filmed.[2]
Plot
After arriving at planet Risa, half of the Enterprise's crew prepare for shore leave, and Captain Archer organizes lots. Winning a vacation himself, Archer boards a shuttlepod along with Commander Tucker, Lieutenant Reed, and Ensigns Mayweather and Sato. Once the shuttlepod lands on Risa, the crew go their separate ways. Archer notices a beautiful alien woman and her dog on the balcony just below his. Later, he strikes up a conversation, learning her name is Keyla. She claims that the Suliban massacred her entire family. He also learns that she is Tandaran, and when he confronts her with this discovery and asks what she wants, she knocks him out with a shot, and leaves.
Meanwhile, Sato is approached by a handsome alien called Ravis, and the two hit it off. She asks him to teach her his complex native language, and he invites her to the exotic steam pools. The next morning, she awakens happy with Ravis in bed beside her. Elsewhere, Tucker 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, but when they reach the basement underneath the bar, the "females" suddenly morph into male aliens. Tucker and Reed are helpless as the aliens rob them and knock them out. Waking up the next morning, they escape the club in their underwear.
Meanwhile, in Sickbay, Doctor Phlox prepares to take his annual six-day hibernation, but he informs Sub-Commander T'Pol that two days should be sufficient. Some time later, Mayweather contacts Enterprise after a rock-climbing accident, and is unnerved by Phlox's absence, but Crewman Cutler reassures him that she can handle his broken leg. He later has some trouble breathing, forcing Cutler and T'Pol to awaken Phlox. Though disoriented and incoherent, he still manages to formulate a suitable antidote, and collapses back into hibernation. On Risa the next morning, the Enterprise crew travel together in the shuttlepod back to their ship, each with an interesting story to tell, but with none willing to divulge any details.

Reception
Aint It Cool News gave it 3.5 out of 5, and said "The episode is teeming with small virtues" and in particular praised Dr. Phlox.[7] Television Without Pity gave it a grade B+.[8]
A 2016, binge guide by W.I.R.E.D. was critical of the episode and recommended skipping it entirely. They suggested it was "unwatchable", and said that it "makes you wonder if the cast were as embarrassed speaking the dialogue as we are listening to it."[9] TechRepublic included the episode on its list of the 5 worst episodes of Enterprise.[10]
