"Bounty" is the 51st episode of Star Trek: Enterprise, the 25th episode of the second season. It presents the Tellarite aliens, seen previously in "Journey to Babel" of the original series. There is a Pon Farr sub-plot with T'Pol.
This episodes follows on from the story of "Judgment" where Captain Archer escaped a life sentence in the Rura Pente gulag. The Klingons have put up a bounty for his recapture, so various bounty hunters are pursuing him. The story arc with the Klingons continues into the next episode, "The Expanse", the season finale. In the secondary story, a bacterium infects T'Pol and induces premature Pon Farr, part of the Vulcan mating cycle, which tests the medical skill and professionalism of Dr. Phlox.
