ENT: Shipment, Twilight, North Star

In Shipment, the Enterpirse has followed the lead of Psychic Stalker Alien to a planet with a ketracite production facility which provided the fuel for the weapons both lainched and preparing to be launched against Earth. However, when Archer learns that the colonists had no idea what the ketracite was being used for, he has to learn to trust Xindi.
Twilight begins with Captain Archer waking up, shocked to find himself in Forks, WA , surrounded by vampires who.....oops- to find himself on an unknown planet, with T'Pol making him breakfast. In the course of her narrative, he discovers that 12 years previously he had been infected by parasites that prevented him from forming any new short term memories, the Xindi had destroyed most of humanity, the rag tag fugitive fleet of surviving humans had relocated to...Ceti Alpha V! You know that of course, before the end of the episode they find a way to restore history to what had been.
I can see the planning meetings for North Star. "What if we had some humans who had relocated far away from Earth, and lived like cowboys? Then we'd have...Firef...and episode of Enterprise!" Enough said.
