When two scary character actors and a baby threaten a newly-formed coalition of planets, Trip and T’Pol go undercover to learn more about Terra Prime.

Where is Trip currently on the xenophobia spectrum? Who was on the bucket list for LeVar Burton? What’s a good strategy for staying in the game? It’s the episode with another Star Trek hair prop.
