Dr.
Phlox finds himself in a quandary when a dying alien arrives in sickbay. The alien, Hudak, is an Antaran, a member of a species with which Phlox's race - the
Denobulans - were once at war. Even now, decades after the war ended, Denobulans and Antarans still hate each other with a vengeance. Hudak refuses to be treated by a Denobulan doctor, and Phlox is obligated to respect his wishes - under Denobulan medical ethics, a patient's wishes take precedence. Phlox continues to struggle with the ethical implications of treating Hudak, especially since Phlox himself once had a bitter parting of the ways with his son Metis over a similar incident (Metis, like most Denobulans, hates Antarans but Phlox had attempted to mend relations with them).
On the way, Travis breaks his leg.When Trip and Malcolm reach the Denobulans, they refuse to leave.However, Malcolm forces them to leave.They manage to leave 2 hours after the deadline, but otherwise safely.
