Ever set out to go hunting but find love instead? The Enterprise stumbles upon a rogue planet (saying the name of the episode should be a trope at this point). Archer and Co. crash the hunting party of a few Eskan. Turns out whatever it is these fellas are hunting happens to be capable of appearing as a beautiful woman, which is exactly interesting enough to get Archer’s attention.. Despite Trip’s track record, he and everyone else suspect this mysterious woman might be a figment of Archer’s imagination. Could the answer be somewhere in the middle?
I think most of us went in to this episode expecting a real stinker, but at the end of the day this ended up being a pretty decent episode. Not the greatest, but certainly not terrible.
