The official deatils have been posted for "Terra Prime", the penultimate episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, at startrek.com.
Continuing the events from "Demons", Paxton has now moved his Orpheus mining complex, which is both detachable and warp capable, from the Moon to Mars. He ties the complex's rector into a "verteron array", turning the array of particle cannons, normally used to redirect comets for teraforming, into a giant weapon capable of targeting anything in the solar system.
Paxton then issues an ultimatum; all non humans must leave the solar system within 24 hours or Terra Prime, the human isolationist movement that Paxton leads, will "defend the rights of every human" and their first target is Starfleet Command in San Francisco. With the Enterprise also vulnerable, Archer, Reed and Mayweather plan to infiltrate the complex using a comet as camouflage, but a Terra Prime operative aboard Enterprise complicates things.
The episode's story is by Judith Reeves-Stevens & Garfield Reeves-Stevens and Andre Bormanis with the teleplay by Judith Reeves-Stevens & Garfield Reeves-Stevens and showrunner Manny Coto. The episode is directed by Marvin V. Rush, who is normally the show's director of photography.
The official synopsis is as follows:
A xenophobic faction of humanity threatens to undermine talks to form a new coalition of planets.
