When T'Pol meets with Dr Yuris, she tells him that the mind meld was involuntary, and he urges her to explain that to the other doctors. However, seeing as how their meeting was a secret, it was never an option for him to tell the others. However, during the hearing, Dr Yuris comes forward with the information and claims that T'Pol had made him promise not to share it. Archer also makes a comment to her about Yuris breaking his promise. She got Archer not to reveal it, but she had never discussed with Dr Yuris the possibility of him saying something.

   
It is curious that Phlox's wife introduces herself as Feezal Phlox. Were he to have three wives, all faithful to him, it would make sense that all three would take his name. However, as Feezal (and the other two wives, as well as all Denobulan women) each have three husbands, what determines her last name, and what makes it Phlox, as opposed to the name of one of her other husbands?
   
About the mind meld disease: It's established in the episodes with the Syrannites that the Vulcan High Command, where T'Pol and the other Vulcans get their information, looks down on mind melding and spread a lot of disinformation about the practice.
   
T'Pol says here that Mind Melding is something that (only a few) Vulcans are born with. This once again contradicts "Fusion," when it was described as a technique (i.e., something you learn).
   
If Mind Melding is considered so dangerous, why did T'Pol (initially) agree to do so voluntarily in "Fusion"?

Have we missed a piece of trivia? If so, send it in!
