When Phlox is looking at his animal cages, you can see a string or wire attached to one of them, presumably the means by which the cages are shaking.

Quotes

Capt. Jonathan Archer: How's it coming?
Cmdr. Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: Could be better. Creating a stable warp field isn't easy when the laws of physics won't cooperate. The Cochrane Equation, it's not constant here. The problem's in the quantum variables. Every time I try to compensate, the spatial gradients get thrown out of whack. Either we get away from these anomalies, or we're gonna have to rewrite the book on warp theory. And I don't have to tell you how long it took Zefram Cochrane the first time around. -... - Now, where's Isaac Newton ...

Anomalies and the Osaarians Pirates

While facing anomalies in the Delphic Expanse that are affecting gravity, the warp drive, shields and weapon but not the life support system, the Enterprise is attacked by Osaarians pirates that rob antimatter fuel, ammunition, food and other supplies, but the security team captures one pirate. Captain Archer follows their track trying to recover their supplies and finds a mysterious sphere with reference about the Xindi culture. In order to get more information about the race, Archer tries to hack the computer of the Osaarian ship and download their database.

The sequel of "Expanse" and "The Xindis" is another episode full of action. Now the Enterprise is feeling stronger effects of the Delphic Expanse that are affecting the engine and many systems. The costumes of T'Pol are more elegant that the one she used in the First and Second Season. My vote is eight.
