Similitude
Opens with that seems to be the funeral of Trip.
The title then comes up "Two Weeks Later," with
a backdrop of Enterprise's
hull. They are working on a system to maintain high warp for
an extended period of time. However when they try it the ship
is pulled out of warpa and left stationary. Trip is taken
to sickbay. He is in a coma.
Dr. Phlox suggests giving Trip a simbiote. T'Pol
reminds Archer that it is band, but Archer
agrees to try it. Meanwhile, nucleonic particles begin to
build up on Enterprise's hull, inside the annomalye the ship
is currently trapped in.
Soon the Enterprise has a Trip clone sitting around in sickbay.
The accelerated growth only gives it a life span of 15 days.
It is an exact copy of Trip. As the child grows, he begins
to get Trip's memories. Phlox names him Sim.
Archer talks to Sim and explains he is just a copy. He continues
to grow. T'Pol is uneasy about him. He explains to Macolm
how he feels like he was lived a whole other life.
To try and escape the annomaly that is causing the build
up. They attempt to get the shuttles to toe Enterprise using
Sim's plan. They eventually get Enterprise going. Later Phlox
tells Archer that Sim will die during the transplant operation
to save Trip.
Sim almost decides to run but in the end agrees to the operating.
It goes back to the funeral which we now realise is Sim's
funeral.
