The Suliban evacuate Enterprise. A bunch of pods tow the ship away as the nacelles smoke.
Temporal Shower Room. A shadow begins to form inside the yellow shower of light, and Silik clasps his hands ecstatically to his chest.
Enterprise is out of the nebula as the nacelles start to spark.
Temporal Shower Room. "Is that you? Can you hear me?" Silik pleads.
More towage and sparkage. The nacelles explode and the pods retreat. The exploding stops, and Enterprise warps off. Pretty nice effects. On the bridge, T'Pol asks for a report from Maynothing. "The anti-matter stream is back to normal," Maynothing tells her. "You may have overdone your pyrotechnic display, the scorching on the starboard nacelle is extensive," T'Pol says, turning to Trip. Trip says he'll take that into consideration the next time they have to fake a reactor breach. Hoshi reports thirty-five pods approaching them very, very fast. T'Pol instructs Maynothing to maintain his course and speed. Maynothing nods and tries to look serious, when inwardly he's really singing and dancing in the sunshine for getting a few lines.
Temporal Shower Room. Silik pleads with the shadowy form on the pad, "I've tried to reach you -- I tried for two days. I did what you told me but Archer wasn't on Enterprise. There was some sort of temporal signature -- I need instructions." If anyone out there thought that the shadowy figure was ever Temporal Shower Guy, well, I just feel sorry for your brain cells. "I don't know how to operate this device, I need your help!" Silik whimpers. The shadow statics something. Silik can't understand him, but closed-captioning heard it to say, "You're an ugly bastard." "Repeat what you said, please! Repeat what you said!" Silik whines. The shadowy figure leaps (couldn't avoid that one, folks) from the shower pad and hii-yah kicks Silik in the chest, knocking him into backwards somersaults.
Quantum jumps up and punches Silik in the face. "I said, 'You're an ugly bastard,'" Quantum repeats, and grabs Silik's weapon. He presses the gun against Silik's temple and tells him, "You try shape-shifting on me or pulling one of your chameleon routines and I promise you Silik, I'll blow your head off." "Your quote-unquote head -- whatever your head ends up being. A part of the wall, a light fixture, whatever," Mathra snarks. "Has Enterprise left the nebula?" Quantum demands. "Can you see? I've brought you Archer! He's here -- Archer's here! There's no need to punish me!" Silik cries out desperately to someone. Quantum demands to know where his ship is. "They've left, they're gone," Silik hisses. Quantum asks how many cell ships he sent after them. So, they're calling the Suliban pods "cell ships" in this episode? When did we agree on a real name? Silik tells him he sent twenty or thirty after them. Okay, stop. Between the fake warp core breach on Enterprise and Silik trying all this time to tune in his Shower Guy while barking at his underlings to leave him alone, just when did he have time to send anything out after Enterprise? Quantum tells Silik he's going to call off his pods and give Quantum the data disks back. Quantum wrenches Silik to his feet and frog-marches him to the door. "My soldiers won't let you leave," Silik gasps. "Shaddap," Quantum says, and pushes him through the door before turning to blast the bathroom scale to bits.
