Quills pointed out before the Great TriSilk server move, the execs on the show evidently meant for their to be a sexual subtext there.
And that is all that Archer got ,along with the entire AinT cult ,subtext ,nothing more

And even that subtext came out forced ,i know non-shippers who fell the same way .
The AinT-ers are happy with their subtext, i've seen some threads over there were they transformed a line in Harbinger between Archer and T'Pol into whole pages of sexual subtext ,even if in that episode she does it with Trip (talk about shipper some big shipper glasses
