late
February - early March 2152
Events of "Shockwave - Part II"
Intent on stopping Archer and Enterprise's mission,
the diabolical Suliban take the crew hostage when it is discovered that Archer
has mysteriously disappeared off the ship.
While stuck in the decimated remains of the 31st century,
Archer and Daniels work to find a way to get back to Enterprise; and
Daniels worries that the future existence of The Federation may be in jeopardy
as a result of his action to remove Archer from Enterprise, forever
changing the course of history.
(more than 10 months after
"Broken Bow")
Early March 2152
At the end of "Shockwave - Part II", Starfleet decides that the Enterprise
should continue its mission to explore space. The timeline with Daniel's
utopian 31st century Earth is then presumably restored.

"Carbon Creek"
T'Pol tells Archer and Trip a story about her
great-grandmother T'Mir and three other Vulcans who made first contact with
humans after crash landing in a small Pennsylvania town in the 1950s. T'Pol's
story shocks Archer and Trip because her account is much earlier and very
different from what history books reported.
(Exactly one year since T'Pol officially joined the crew)
c. April 22, 2152 The
Enterprise visits Tesik Prime, where one of the crew contracts Rigellian
fever. As a result of subsequent exposure, Dr. Phlox inoculates the crew.
(Date is speculation. Event occurs one month prior to "Dead Stop")

"Minefield"
After unwittingly wandering into a minefield in Romulan
territory, Enterprise becomes trapped when struck by an undetonated
mine. When Reed takes a space walk to try to defuse the mine, he inadvertently
gets pinned to the outer hull and Archer must choose between saving Reed or
abiding by the Romulans' orders to depart immediately.
(date speculation)
c.
May 22, 2152 Events of
"Dead Stop"
Enterprise, in desperate need
of extensive repairs, docks with a mysterious, high-tech, automated space
station that inexplicably and amazingly fixes everything, making it almost too
good to be true. While waiting for the repairs to be completed, the
Enterprise crew searches the unmanned space station and discovers its
unique and horrifying power source.
(date is conjecture, four days after "Minefield")
c. May 29, 2152 Travis
Mayweather finally meets Captain Archer for breakfast.

Night in Sickbay"
Archer spends a fretful night in sickbay with Dr. Phlox
after Porthos, Archer's pet beagle, picks up a deadly virus on an alien
planet. Meanwhile, crew members believe Archer's increased stress level is due
to Porthos' illness, but Dr. Phlox suspects it has to do with Archer's
repressed sexual tension.
c. June 13, 2152
Events of "Marauders"
When
Enterprise is in need of fuel, Archer discovers a desolate mining colony
that is being controlled by Klingon marauders who are bullying the colonists
and hoarding their fuel. After Archer discovers the problem, the crew trains
the colonists to defend themselves and prepare for a final showdown against
their Klingon oppressors.
(Date is conjecture - Archer states that it has been just
over a year since events that took place in "Broken Bow", and 14 months seems
about right..)

Ministry of Security tracks Menos to the Prenia system. (just prior to
"The Seventh")
July
1 to July 8, 2152 Events of
"The Seventh"
T'Pol brings Archer with her on a top-secret mission when
she is dispatched by the Vulcan High Command to capture a fugitive that has
eluded their authorities for nearly two decades. Meanwhile, T'Pol reveals to
Archer a dark and violent secret that she repressed, and Trip, who fills in
for Archer while he is away, finds the weight of being the Captain hard to
bear.
(Dates are conjecture. Episode covered about nine
days.)
July 17 - July 19, 2152
Events
of "The Communicator"
Reed accidentally leaves his communicator on a pre-warp
alien planet during a visit, and when he returns with Archer to retrieve the
crucial technology, they are captured by soldiers who accuse them of being
enemy spies. Meanwhile, Trip and Mayweather use the cloaking technology of the
damaged Suliban Cell-Ship they had previously captured in an attempt to rescue
Archer and Reed before they are executed.
(Dates are conjecture. Episode covered about three
days.)
c. July 20, 2152 The Enterprise

team began its survey in caves on Zantorus. (six months prior to "The
Breach")

border. The colonists later flee aboard a small vessel. (speculation -

12 - August 15, 2152 Events of
"Singularity"
While checking out a trinary star system, on a "typical" day
on Enterprise, the crew finds their routine tasks turn into
uncharacteristically strange obsessions over trivial matters. The crew's
increasingly erratic and often humorous behavior includes: Archer's
preoccupation with writing the preface of a biography about his dad; Trip's
fixation on adjusting the Captain's chair to perfection; Hoshi's obsession
with her cooking; and Reed's concern with a Tactical Alert.
(Date of August 14 given in episode. Dates include
flashback sequences)
c.
August 28, 2152
Events of "Vanishing Point"
Following her first experience in the
transporter, a series of eerie events leads Hoshi to question whether she is
the same person. Feeling fearful and helpless, Hoshi becomes unsure of herself
wondering if she is losing her mind, or if the transporter has somehow changed
her, or if there is an alien threat behind all of these bizarre happenings
suddenly taking place.
(Date is conjecture. Entire episode took
place within a single day.)

Events of "Precious Cargo"
When Trip rescues an exotic alien woman from her kidnappers,
they find themselves on the run from her captors and, in the process, on an
unexpected romantic adventure. Meanwhile, Archer holds one of the alien
kidnappers captive on Enterprise and devises a scheme with T'Pol's help
to pressure the reluctant prisoner to help them locate Trip.

Events of "The Catwalk"
When a deadly radioactive storm threatens Enterprise,
the entire crew must take refuge for eight days in a small maintenance shaft.
As they weather the storm, the crew discovers that alien intruders are trying

trap in the process. In order to stop the aliens and save the ship, Archer and
his officers must battle against time ... and the deadly storm.
(Date of September 12, 2152 is given in
starlog entry at the start of the episode)

Trip Tucker is alone on a test mission aboard
Shuttlepod One when he is fired upon by a territorial alien and forced

nearby, and the two nemeses must contend with each other as the extremely hot
rising sun threatens their survival.
(date is conjecture)

Captain of the Horizon, at the age of 24.
(speculation of dates, based on "Horizon")
Late

"Stigma"
While Enterprise visits a planet where an
Interspecies Medical Exchange conference is taking place, Dr. Phlox tries to
obtain research on a terminal disease from the Vulcan contingency there. But
he must not reveal that T'Pol has contracted this disease, because that
knowledge would forever stigmatize her among her people.
(almost a year since "Fusion", which took
place in November 2151)
Early
November 2152
Events of "Cease Fire"
A military conflict erupts between the Vulcans
and Andorians over a small terraformed planet that both sides make claim to.
In the midst of the skirmish, the Vulcans announce they wish to discuss terms

can trust to mediate such a negotiation is Jonathan Archer, so the captain and
his ship are called into the fray.

is confronted by the Tholians, who also aggressively try to procure the
enigmatic vessel.

a group of Denobulan geologists from a world that has been taken over by a
militant faction, and since they are located deep underground, the effort
requires some treacherous spelunking by the rescue team. Meanwhile Phlox faces
a dilemma when another evacuee, an Antaran afflicted with a fatal dose of
radiation, refuses to be treated by a Denobulan because of very old bad blood
between the two races.
(date speculation)
February
2153 Events of "Cogenitor"

decide whether to risk sending the NX-01 into the Delphic Expanse to prevent a
possible second attack.
(date of April 28, 2153 is given by the Captain, just
