At least that would be honest…

Porthos wakes up, sees Archer in the shower, realises it was all a bad dream brought on by eating bad cheese.

works for me.

Sorry for the lateness, but I just finally watched the season 3 finale. Anyway, I recently manage to uncover Manny Coto’s first rough draft of Season 4, episode 1, act 1:

I’ve come across Manny Coto’s first draft of episode one, season four, act 1:  
**T’Pol** : Primitive Earth airplanes? Are you positive?

**Trip** : Shuttlepod’s got the bullet holes to match. What the hell’s going on?

**T’Pol** : Ensign Mayweather, scan for any remaining anomalies, particularly temporal in nature.

**Mayweather** : I’m detecting one off the starboard bow. But it doesn’t look related to the spheres.

**T’Pol** (looking in her little scanner thingy): It’s increasing in size and approaching the ship.

**Admiral William T. Riker** : SHIELDS UP! RED ALERT!

**Trip** : Who the hell are you?

**Daniels** : My apologies. I think I can explain… If you’ll just give me a moment.

[Daniels fiddles with the PADD he’s holding. Riker disppears, and is replaced by a Gorn.]

**Gorn** : Arrrrr!

**Daniels** : No, that’s not it either. Hold on.

[The Gorn disappears, and is replaced by Archer, who is wearing a flowery Hawaiian shirt and holding coconut containing some enjoyable beverage and a little paper umbrella]

**Archer** : Aw, Daniels, I was just starting to feel relaxed.

**Trip** : Will someone PLEASE tell me what the hell is going on?

**Daniels** : My apologies everyone. As soon as the Xindi sphere exploded, I managed to remove Captain Archer from the timeline. I figured he needed a vacation, so I sent him to Tahiti for a week.

**Archer** : Sort of.

[Daniels stabs at the buttons on his PADD]

**Daniels** : Unfortunately this THING isn’t working very well, and he went on a few… detours. As, I understand, have all of you. Anyway, everything’s back to normal now. I think. Well, I must be going. Captain, you probably won’t see me again. It’s been nice working with you.

**T’Pol** : What about the “Temporal Cold War?”

**Daniels** : Oh, that little thing? We fixed that all up last week. I thought I mentioned it.

**Archer** : No, but I’m glad to hear it. Now if you don’t mind, we’d like to go home now.

**Daniels** : You got it. [Disappears]

**Hoshi** : We’re being hailed by Starfleet!

**Archer** : On screen.

**Admiral Forest** : Congratulations to all of you. I have new orders for Enterprise. She is to dock at the shipyards for a complete overhaul while her crew relaxes on Earth.

**Trip** : About damn time!

**Admiral Forest** : But don’t relax too much. Once the Enterprise is back to 100 percent, we’re sending you to the Tellarite homeworld. It seems they’re having some difficulty with the Romulans.
