Mayor Tam greets the Awesome Team, calling them "heroes" and complimenting Hoshi on her UT upgrade. Mayor Tam makes a TOTALLY ORIGINAL joke about listening to the Tellarite Ambassador, but I was laughing too hard to hear it. Trust me, it was FUN-NY! T'Pol thinks it's ambitious of Mayor Tam to think he can draft the charter in six weeks. I wish we didn't have to leave this FASCINATING conversation, but we have to give other people a chance to entertain us.
May-About-To-Have-Sex greets a girl reporter, who flirts with him a lot. He doesn't seem to like her for some reason. I wonder why that is? I wonder if they will tell us. I hope so because it's SO interesting. I should mention that the girl reporter's name is "Gannett," which is SO funny since that's the name of a NEWS ORGANIZATION! And she's a REPORTER! It's so CLEVER I almost wet myself. I don't want to sully their creativity by using her name in my pathetic little missive here so I'm just going to call her "Brenda Starrship." Ooh, I just had a brainwave -- do you think Brenda Starrship could be an ex-girlfriend? WOW! I wonder. My poor little brain doesn't do so well with these cryptic plotlines they throw me week after week.
A haggard woman, clutching at her midsection, staggers up to T'Pol and grabs at her. "They're going to kill her," Staggering Haggard whines. T'Pol's confused. I would be too. "Don't let them," Staggering Haggard says, pressing a vial into T'Pol's hand and falling down to the floor. "I'm sorry!" Staggering Haggard says as Reed rushes over and identifies the gaping hole in the woman's stomach as being a phase pistol wound. He's SO smart -- I was thinking it was a claustrophobic tapeworm. Phlox yells for a medkit as T'Pol holds up the vial so we can see the lock of hair contained inside. Ooooh! Who do you think it belongs to? It can't be from that baby in the opening because she barely had peach fuzz, much less enough to make a lock like that. I'm sure they will explain it satisfactorily.
Sickbay. Phlox tells Trip, Reed, Quantum, and T'Pol that the Staggering Haggard died. T'Pol reveals that the Staggering Haggard was a medical technician with emotional problems who took leave from work nearly a year ago. Trip wonders who the hair belongs to, but not because he's being insensitive to the fact that a woman may or may not have died in T'Pol's arms, no, it's more because Trip is a "get all the information" kind of guy. He's just likes to know things. Phlox explains that he ran all kinds of DNA tests on the hairs and then reran them again and again to make sure he had the definitive answer. The hair is from a baby containing Trip and T'Pol's DNA! WOW! That's WILD! I can't -- wait, we already knew that. I'm just SO excited that I'm forgetting things THEY ALREADY TOLD US IN THE OPENING!!
