[ENT] Season 3, Episode 2: Anomaly
Rating: 3
We learn more about the anomalies in the expanse and what could prevent them. We’re also introduced to some more mysteries regarding the expanse. One of the main reasons I like this episode is that it introduces a moral arc that is mirrored in a later episode, about what the expanse does to people.

Notes:
There are some anomalies
Enterprise finds a ship that was raided
The pirates come back. Enterprise is too damaged by anomalies to put up much of a fight
The pirates manage to get away with a lot of Enterprise’s stuff, but Archer steals a pirate
The pirate said they used to be noble, but they found out they couldn’t leave the expanse after they entered. After a while they started raiding newcomers to the expanse, ships that didn’t know they need the right kind of insulation. He says that eventually Archer will let his morality go in order to survive
They track the pirates to a giant sphere
They find all their stuff
Archer gets information from the pirate using unconventional methods. It works like a charm! In retrospect, he probably shouldn’t have mocked Archer for being a big softy when it comes to torture
They’re able to download some information on the Xindi from the pirates, but they aren’t going to tell us what they learned this episode
