Storyline

While surveying an uninhabited planet, Enterprise is met by a Tellarite ship. Captain Archer is abducted by Skalaar, a Tellarite hoping to collect a bounty placed on Archer by the Klingons. Meanwhile, a microbe from the planet infects T'Pol and Phlox. The affliction causes T'Pol to prematurely enter Pon farr, a chemical imbalance invoking Vulcans urge to mate. Phlox tries to treat an emotionally unstable T'Pol, who is getting too close for Denobulan comfort.

Goofs

Phlox tells T'Pol that the locking mechanism code on the sick bay door is 42864 but that is clearly not the number sequence that she is trying to enter.

Quotes

Captain Jonathan Archer: [about Tellarites] T'Pol says they're not the most agreeable species. Apparently they enjoy a good argument. It's considered a sport on their planet.
Commander Charles 'Trip' Tucker III: I've got an old girlfriend this guy might like to meet.

I'm Sure Many Will Find It Objectationable

With Archer, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Now it's the Klingons who want to get him back after his escape from the penal colony. He is captured by a bounty hunter who is living with some bad judgment in the past. At first the guy is stone cold and indifferent to the pleadings of Archer (some might think he would put him someplace where he can't complain), then he begins to soften a bit. He feels the Klingons will play fair with him. The Enterprise has to work hard to locate their captain. Meanwhile, returning from an exploratory search, Phlox and T'Pol are in a decontamination chamber, getting cleaned up, but a virus of some sort has invaded their bodies. Obviously, this is an exploitative event because T'Pol goes into a premature mating cycle, but must remain, isolated with Phlox, who is having a hard time dealing with it. Still, the story is interesting and so is this event, even if it could be interpreted as eye-candy for the males.
