TGL’s source on the Enterprise writing staff has sent us exclusive details of the episodes lined up for Season 3. What’s exciting about these details is that the writers have several mini arcs lined up for next year. Of course, the descriptions of each of the 26 episodes may differ to what you see on screen:
The Expanse, Part II

The Search

Elsewhere, Enterprise’s pursuit of Arcgelus is halted by a Class 14 Ion storm which leaves the ship defenceless and at the mercy of the Pagh-Tribbles.
Boomers
Hoshi and Shran are rescued by the Horizon (captained by Paul, brother of Travis), but the Andorian’s curiosity reveals the deadly secret within the ship’s cargo hold which could alter the balance of power within the Temporal Cold War. Elsewhere, Travis admits to his feelings for an Enterprise crew member, and Arcgelus aids FutureGuy in an attempt to bring a new faction into the war.

Reed to start an investigation. Elsewhere, Arcgelus is displeased by FutureGuy’s promise to hand Earth and Enterprise over to the Jem’Hadar as soon as the temporal conflict is over.
Sex, Torpedoes, and Temporal Promises

Messages from the Past (Part I)
Trip is stunned to receive a message from his father, who was believed to have been killed by the attack on Earth. Searching for the truth, Trip leaves the recovered T’Pol in command while he travels to meet his father in an unexplored sector. Meanwhile, Arcgelus’s rise to power doesn’t go according to plan.
Point of no Return (Part II)

Brothers
Hurt by the fact that Hoshi and Paul are lovers, Travis must push his anger to one side to help Reed examine the temporal torpedoes in the Horizon’s cargo bay. Meanwhile, Arcgelus’s enemies plot the downfall of the former Enterprise Captain, and Liana (from Season One’s ‘Oasis’) reveals the truth about Trip’s father.
The Truth is Holo and I have touched the Sky
Reeling at the news that his father was replaced by a hologram before the attack on Earth, Trip attempts to get Liana’s assistance in locating him. Elsewhere, Arcgelus is expelled from the Temporal Order and sentenced to death.
The Enemy of my Enemy...
Running from the rebel-Jem’Hadar, Arcgelus returns to Enterprise, offering the crew information about the new leader of the Temporal Order in exchange for protection.

Arcgelus vs Archer
Within the mind of the Captain, Archer engages in a battle of wills with the alien influence known as Arcgelus, and in the process has to look back at the consequences of his mission to date. Elsewhere, Reed continues to test the ship’s newly fitted temporal torpedo launchers, Trip and Liana continue to investigate the Chief Engineer’s father (and his connection to the Eye of Braga), and a routine visit to sickbay reveals a major surprise for Hoshi.
Archer Kicks!
With Archer back in command, the Captain uses his intimate knowledge of the Temporal Order to initiate a dangerous plan to end the Temporal conflict, once and for all. Meanwhile, Reed discovers that his testing of the temporal weapons has resulted in the removal of pineapples from the timeline!
Crossover from the Abyss
While Shran and Soval attempt to convince their people to accept Archer’s bold proposal to stop the war, a temporal accident in engineering results in the arrival of Seven of Nine (featuring SPECIAL GUEST STAR JERI RYAN), who reveals the truth about the strange beings encountered in Season Two’s ‘Regeneration’. Meanwhile, Reed learns of a dangerous ancient prophecy that could mean trouble for Hoshi’s baby.
Nappies
Hoshi gives birth to Paul’s child and everyone is overjoyed, apart from Travis, and Reed, whose translation of the prophecy reads as ‘The Vulcan will kill the child’. Meanwhile, the mysterious new leader of the Temporal Order sends an assassin after Archer.
Prophecy
Reed takes shore leave to the 4th moon of Bajor, hoping to meet an alien who may or may not confirm the prophecy. On Enterprise, T’Pol undergoes a ritual to enhance her ability to think logical, and a new ensign joins the crew.
Logic and Symbols
A pre-occupied Reed returns to Enterprise, after being told the three signs to look for to confirm if the prophecy is true. Meanwhile, the newly arrived Ensign Pryn has an interesting dinner date with the Captain, and Trip and Liana discover the location of the Eye of Braga, and Trip’s father. T’Pol meanwhile, starts to display signs of ruthless and unforgiving logic which puts the ship and crew in danger.
Departures
After witnessing the three signs of the prophecy within Phlox’s sick bay (Explosion, Fire, Burnt Tribble), Reed kidnaps Hoshi’s baby and departs Enterprise to protect the child from T’Pol, but he is captured by the rebel-Jem’Hadar. While Enterprise searches for Reed, Ensign Pryn reveals starling information about the Temporal Order’s new leader to the man she was ordered to kill - Captain Archer.
The Eye of Braga (Season Finale)
On the eve of the planned Starfleet-Vulcan-Andorian attack on the Temporal Order, Archer must decide if he should use the Eye of Braga to open a new front in the temporal war – an action that would lead to the defeat and death of the Temporal Order’s new leader – Henry Archer – along with the deaths of Lt. Reed and Hoshi’s child.
