Episode 89: United

For plot details, see previous entry. These episodes run together in my mind.

This one ends with the alliance succeeding in chasing away (but not destroying) the Romulan Marauder and an Andorian vessel rescuing the crew of a Tellarite ship that was destroyed in the battle. Schran and the Tellarite ambassador shake hands and announce they have more to agree upon than mere trade pacts.

Over the course of the rather verbose episode, we find out that Tucker mooned over his lost relationship with T'Pol as he faced near certain death aboard the Marauder but that T'Pol apparently doesn't share his sense of loss. This angers Tucker and leads to several speeches from various characters that Tucker needs to behave professionally and not let his personal issues interfere with his work.

We also learn that the Romulan admiral who is running the Marauder program is seriously under pressure as a result of the set backs he's endured, bringing the various races closer together rather than driving them apart. A Romulan senator threatens to pull the plug on the project but is convinced at the last moment that, now that the first Marauder is almost fully repaired and the second Marauder is ready, they will able to redeem themselves and accomplish their goals by hunting down Enterprise.

Wait, that might be in the next episode.
