Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In "Storm Front (Part I)", shuttlepod crewmen Trip Tucker and Travis Mayweather arrive back on Enterprise, unharmed from the P-51 Mustangs that had attacked their shuttlepod earlier. Back on Earth, Captain Archer narrowly escapes from the Nazis when American resistance fighters ambush the Jeep that Archer and his Nazi handlers are riding in. He finds his way to a resistance safehouse.

Meanwhile, Silik, the leader of the Suliban Cabal, has secretly boarded Enterprise and hitched a ride to Earth.

With the Swastika-draped White House, and the Nazis controlling the US Eastern Seaboard, we learn that an alien — a faction of the Temporal Cold War — named Vosk (the same alien present at the closing scene of season three's final episode), has formed an alliance with the Nazis, providing them with advanced technology in exchange for material supplies to build a conduit that will take them back to their own time.

In the meantime, Captain Archer, after finding a communications device being carried by one of the aliens on Earth, contacts T'Pol and is transported back to Enterprise.

Near death, Crewman Daniels appears on the Enterprise, admitting that he brought the Enterpise to the 20th century to help end the Temporal Cold War, along with a warning that Vosk has altered timeline with grave consequences. Before dying, Daniels requests Captain Archer to stop Vosk and his band from building the conduit to take them back into their time, where they will become even more dangerous.

Silik, after a hand to hand fight with Tucker, steals a shuttlepod and lands on Earth. Tucker and Mayweather are sent to Earth to find the shuttlepod along with Silik.

We soon learn that the aliens have Captured Tucker and Mayweather.

[edit] Part II

Captain Archer returns to Nazi-occupied United States. The alien Vosk — a faction of the Temporal Cold War — releases his Starfleet prisoners Travis Mayweather and Trip Tucker (later to be revealed as Silik) in hopes of forging a new alliance with Enterprise.

Silik and Captain Archer, along with the help of American resistance fighters, defeat Vosk and his temporal agents by destroying the conduit being built to carry Vosk back to his own time.

Before the Silik-Archer duo can complete the mission, Silik is shot and killed by a guard near the conduit, Trip freed himself during the chaos and almost shoots Archer believing him to be Silik (Trip did not know Archer was alive).

The episode ends with Daniels showing Archer the timeline resetting itself back to normal. As the temporal cold war ends, and is at least partially negated, with the death of Vosk.One thing is for certain, the full scale temporal conflict never happened. Archer demands that Daniels never cross his path again.
