The Great Link has updated information about three upcoming Enterprise episodes, "Dawn," "Stigma," and "Cease Fire."

In "Dawn," while orbiting a giant gas-planet’s moon in a shuttlepod to work out new autopilot controls, Trip comes under attack from an alien shuttlepod and they both crash-land on the moon. The alien chases after Trip, fires at him, and steals his transceiver. Trip now can’t contact Enterprise. Also, something in the moon’s atmosphere caused both pods engines to fail.

The alien mothership (the aliens are called Arkonians) arrives and its belligerent commander tries to order away Archer. Archer holds fast, suggesting that they can work together to locate their missing crewman. They’ll have to hurry, after sunrise, the temperature of the moon reaches 170 degrees.

Trip and the Arkonian fight each other, then, with dawn on the way, they unite to build a transmitter from combined parts and carry it to high ground. They send off a distress signal which is received by Enterprise, but Enterprise can’t trace the signal due to the signal’s aliens characteristics. The Arkonians will have to help, and they do.

"Dawn" is scheduled to air on January 8.

In "Stigma," only Phlox knows of T’Pol’s condition., but his treatment of the Vulcan is failing. He hopes that the alien medical exchange Enterprise is attending will help him find better treatments for T’Pol – without revealing her condition.

Instead, at the hearing, T’Pol is ‘outed’ and in danger of a recall to Vulcan. The Vulcan doctors are disgusted, but Archer demands a hearing. During this hearing, one of the Vulcan doctors outs himself, and breaks his confidence with T’Pol, telling his colleagues that T’Pol was forced to mind-meld with an infected individual.

"Stigma" is scheduled to air on February 5.

In "Cease Fire," Archer works out a deal for talks with Sharan, but the shuttle pod carrying T’Pol, Archer and Soval to the talks is fired upon. The shuttle manages to land safety, but who fired at the shuttle? And why? [...] Trying to reach Shran’s location, Archer’s group comes under fire and Soval is injured. Archer is able to immobilise the attackers – Andorian soldiers traitorous to Shran’s command. Shran takes them into custody and begins talks with Soval.

"Cease Fire" is scheduled to air on February 19.
