Episode Four: Under The Raptor's Wing

When the Enterprise gets to Vulcan they are greeted by T'Pau, She explains to Archer that The Order of the Raptor are Vulcans that embraces the raw powerful emotions of their ancient ancestors and are a mostly secret society as most Vulcans look down on them. Archer and T’Pol conduct an investigation and we learn through the investigation that T'Pol's father (name TBD) was member of the cult right up until he died.

Archer finds out that V'Las (see Kir'shara, season 4) is the Vulcan leader of this group. During the episode, we (not Archer) see scenes of V'Las getting orders from the Romulans (as was touched on briefly in Kir'shara). It turns out that The Order of the Raptor was actually started by the Romulans 30 years ago and several Romulans secretly mixed into Vulcan society, a lot of them are sleeper agents that may be activated someday. Most Vulcans in the order are not even aware of whom the Romulans are, and the fact they are among them.



We learn through V'Las's conversation with the Romulans that T'pol's father was one such sleeper agent and 'if she only knew her precious Vulcan bloodline was not as pure as she thought'. Anyway it ends up with Archer and T’Pol discovering V'Las's hideout and T’Pol gets into a confrontation with V'las forcing her to shoot him, as he lay dying he says to T’Pol 'your father would be proud' T’Pol replies 'Vulcans do not express pride' at that point V'Las lets out a laugh as he dies.

In the very last scene we are brought a building in Romulus were a Romulan officer is sitting at a deck with big bay windows in back of him overlooking the Romulan city, another Romulan walks in and reports that V'Las has been killed, the Romulan officer get up and walks by the windows looking out at the city (back turned to the other Romulan), he says 'who killed him' to which the other Romulan replies 'The Vulcan Starfleet officer, T’Pol'. Then Romulan Officer still looking out the window starts to smile and then say's 'like father, like daughter' and then continues to smile.

The end (although implied, we will leave it ambiguous if that was really T'Pol's father)
