Trivia
It is finally stated in this episode that the planet Vulcan is 16 light-years away from Earth. Author James Blish once placed Vulcan in orbit around the star 40 Eridani A, part of the star constellation Eridanus, which was subsequently adopted by Gene Roddenberry. Scientists who are fans of Star Trek have extrapolated, based on the current information about 40 Eridani and if a planet were in the approximate position where Vulcan would be based on the orbital period described in the series, determined the planet would be largely as described in Star Trek lore.

Quotes
Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Captain. Your actions, while being morally questionable, were necessary. I opposed your appointment as Captain of Enterprise, but it's obvious now that I was wrong. T'Pol has told me that the Expanse would've someday encompassed hundreds of systems, including Vulcan. You've done a great service, for both our worlds.
[he offers Archer his hand]
Vulcan Ambassador Soval: Thank you.

Guess who's coming to dinner....Vulcan style.

While "Home" is an interesting episode, it's also a very 'small' one-- where very little actually happens during most of the episode. There are no villains, no explosions, no serious problems---just the crew having some shore leave now that they've saved the Earth. Much of the show illustrates how stupid people are in the 23rd century--both on Earth and on Vulcan. After some partying to celebrate their return, Phlox is treated like crap by some xenophobic jerks. And, on Vulcan, Tripp accompanies T'Pol and T'Pol's mommy makes him feel about as welcome as herpes--at least initially. Again, xenophobia has reared its ugly head in these pre-Federation days. As for the Captain, he's got a lot of self-doubts. The only really important occurrence is at the end...and it happens to T'Pol. Overall, an interesting and mostly uneventful show.
