ENT: Precious Cargo, The Catwalk, Dawn

Precious Cargo has the Enterprise taking two aliens into their shuttle bay to offer assistance with repairs to their ship and a stasis unit. When the stasis unit malfunctions and Trip breaks the resident out, he eventually learns that the occupant is not a passenger, but the crown sovereign of Krios, who has been taken for ransom. By this time, the alien captain has left Enterprise and Trip and the Princess must escape. They steal an escape pod and land on a nearby swampy moon, during which time Trip and the Princess have many Han and Leia moments. Although he rescues her, her planet's laws will not allow her to fraternise with him- but she hunts that she could be in position to change those laws soon.
You would think Archer would learn, but in The Catwalk he is once again allowing aliens on board to offer assistance. This time the aliens have warned him of a neutronic storm front approaching and they ask sanctuary. T'Pol and Phlox inform Archer that the storm fron, which they cannot outrun, will kill all organic life on the ship within 3 minutes of exposure. Trip opines that they will be able to survive in "The Catwalk" ( cue the Right Said Fred); the service shaft that runs along each nacelle. However, this requires the warp drive to be shut down, three days into their 8 day confinement, the warp engines come online and Trip discovers a contingent of the same aliens who warned them of the stormfront. Was it a ploy, or were those aliens on the run?

In Dawn, Trip is testing the shuttlepod's autopilot in the orbits of a gas giant's many moons. An unidentified alien ship attacks, and they both crash land on one of the moons. Both their ships and transceivers are interfered with by the selenium isotopes in the moon's crust. When they make contact with the assailant's "mother ship" T'Pol reveals that the race, the Arkonians, is one the Vulcans were unable to establish long term diplomatic relationships with. Despite that they agree to work with Enterprise to find their respective ships. Time is short because the temperature difference between day and night on the moons is extreme- and the missing men must be found before the sun comes up. Because THAT'S original. Trip and the alien get all "Enemy Mine" while their ships search and rescue.
