[edit] Plot summary
In the episode, Tarquin (Paramount Pictures, n.d.) a humanoid male, who lives alone on a planet, communicates telepathically with Hoshi. He promises to provide information relevant to Enterprise's current mission relating to the Xindi, but Enterprise would need to visit him at his location. Archer decides to do so, and when they arrive, he demands that Hoshi stay with him for a while; the Enterprise would leave and later return to retrieve her. Archer grants his request, and during her visit, Hoshi learns that she wasn't the first person to visit Tarquin in this manner; in fact, others have spent the remainders of their lives with him, and it is discovered that Tarquin wishes the same of Hoshi. She denies him of his wish, and when the Enterprise returns, Hoshi leaves to Tarquin's disappointment (Strong & Dawson, 2003). Enterprise still gets the information, though; Tarquin communicates it to Hoshi even after she has left (Paramount Pictures, n.d.).
[edit] Trivia
- Although it doesn't have a Disney ending, this episode seems very similar to the story of the Beauty and the Beast, with Hoshi as the pretty, intelligent and shy girl trapped with a scary looking non-human, who is surprisingly sophisticated and brilliant but tragically lonesome.
