"Lies of Omission" - A female intelligence agent visits the Enterprise, ostensibly to visit her cousin Chekov, but in reality because there is believed to be a Klingon mole aboard the ship, and she must uncover it.

Next episode: "A Wheel In The Middle Of A Wheel" https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel 1:16&version=KJV
 
"A Wheel In The Middle Of A Wheel" - When Pike’s Number One stops by the Enterprise, it’s to monitor the reopening on communications with a non-corporeal, cosmozoan-like entity. The entity, after miscommunication on the end of Pike, withdrew into unexplored space and has not been seen for over a decade, until now. Concerned that Kirk will repeat the same mistake as Captain Pike did, Spock subdues Kirk with the Vulcan nerve pinch and allows her to take command. Are Spock and Number One in the right? Will the crew follow their orders? And will Number One and Spock have better luck, or are they doom to repeat history?

Next episode – “Scotty and Cleopatra”

When she disembarks at her planet, in regard for his devotion, makes him a member of her kingdom clan.

Next episode: "He That Spareth His Rod (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs 13:24&version=KJV)
 
"He That Spareth His Rod” - When Chekov’s parents visit the Enterprise, they inform him that Irina Galliulin has married. This leads to a bizarre and unexpected outburst from Chekov on the bridge, claiming their overbearing ways led to him not becoming her husband or anyone else’s, as if the whole world as ended. Meanwhile, Ambassador Sarek, also visiting the Enterprise, questions if he was not hard enough if Spock. And if he had, would he have a command of his own by now, with a crew of Vulcans like the USS Intrepid?

Next episode - “Captain’s Wardrobe”
 
“Captain’s Wardrobe” - When the crew of the Enterprise fall inexplicably helpless one by one, Kirk is stretched thin trying to run the ship by himself. This occurs while Kirk is in fact fighting for his life; each of the crew members represents systems in his body that are reacting badly, or shutting down. Kirk's condition was caused by an experimental neurotoxin that escaped in a lab accident, which the real crew of Enterprise have to aid the lab in containing.

(so the wardrobe is Kirk wearing everyone's "hats", so to speak)

Next episode: "Ode To A Moonbeam"
 
"Ode To A Moonbeam" - The Enterprise comes across a civilization based on the Old West, with the main difference being that the society is completely nocturnal, as the planet’s rotation moves too slowly to ever see sunlight. Scotty, Chekov, Sulu and Uhura beam down, and while they have country style fun, they must also deal with the Klingons who also come to visit this world.

Next episode – “Trelane’s Children”
 
“Trelane’s Children” - Enterprise intercepts a small spacecraft driving erratically in a Federation space lane. When a boarding party beams over, they find no living people, just a bunch of dolls. While investigating the ship's bridge, Trelane appears, introducing the dolls as his "children". They animate (played by short adults /children with masks), despite having no working parts, and play bizarre games with the crew, laughing and herding them into corners, tormenting them, etc. Spock and Kirk have to gain control of these dolls through some means to save themselves and their crew members. Yeoman of the week exudes motherliness to the children, and they seem to like her and listen to her.

Next episode: "The Teeming Seas"
 
Last edited:
"The Teeming Seas" - On a world resembling a Hawaiian paradise, Kirk, Scotty, Sulu & Uhura are on an away mission where they must portray swashbucklers on a sail ship. When the crew suddenly decides to mutiny against the captain, the sail ship runs aground, and the survivors must either work together or let the elements of nature defeat them.

Next episode – “The Abbey”
 
“The Abbey” - The Enterprise answers a distress call from someone who claims to be held as a prisoner on an abandoned (after a disaster) colony world. When they beam down, a couple claim that there's nobody there but them, and they settled there some time later, being relatives of the deceased person whose house they now live in. Lots of haunted house hijinks ensue, in an effort to scare them away, but it only increases Kirk's determination. The woman who called for help is the last native inhabitant of the planet, who is being tapped as a source of a secreted chemical that allows the people to survive long-term exposure to the radiation there. Gothic novel Trek, basically.

Next episode: "Grains of Sand"

"Grains of Sand" - A pair of sisters, that make a living as cat burglars, are sought out by the Enterprise after they steal several prized possessions of the crew. Upon catching up to them, the crew has to determine if they are telling the truth with what they did with the item, and if so, hurry before for they are sold off to the highest bidder.

Next episode – “Wolves, Piglets and Red Hoods”
 
“Wolves, Piglets and Red Hoods” - When Enterprise makes a late supply run to a joint colony, half the citizens, despite being starved for weeks, look remarkably healthy. The other half are emaciated. When questioned how this happened, they explain that the sick people fasted so that the others could be well. In reality, the well people are aliens who took on the guise of those they'd consumed as food, the more they ate. The sick are those who "don't taste good". The well are still hungry, now for Enterprise's crew.

Next episode: "Still Walked The Stranger"
 
"Still Walked The Stranger" - An alien lifeform hiding in the Enterprise’s water system has been killing a number of the crew in their quarters, particularly yeomen. Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty work to figure out how the stowaway got onto the ship and how to get it off the ship. It eventually come down to the wire when the lifeform goes after Uhura.

Next episode – “Lusitania”
 
“Lusitania” - After running a computer analysis on a mysterious probe found floating in space, the Enterprise's systems are overtaken by its programming, causing it to seek out and lock on a passenger ship and destroy it. Though initially held responsible for their actions by the race whose ship it was, a punishment which requires that a member(s) of the crew (not the one responsible, but an innocent) be surrendered for execution, Spock and Scotty determine that the probe was to blame, sent by an alien race that was unable to muster their own ships for attacks, but able to build small probes that would co-opt other ships to do their work. Kirk talks them out of punishing innocents for the war and using the probe to broadcast peace overtures to the other side instead.

Next episode: "All Is Vanity" (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ecclesiastes 1:2-11&version=KJV)
 
"All Is Vanity" - While the Enterprise is orbiting Earth, the crew – Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Chekov, Sulu, Uhura and Chapel - intends to beam down for shore leave. Only to end up in an alternate late 1940s Chicago, where Al Capone became the President in 1936 and in the midst of running for his fourth term. In Al Capone’s America, there are positives in that the interment camps were never created and the hate groups were purged all across America, thanks to the mob. But the country has never really recovered from the Great Depression, and lost the war in the Pacific, with Imperial Japan annexing the American territories, including Hawaii. And it never entered the war in Europe, allowing Nazi Germany to develop nuclear technology and overwhelm the continent when it was used with the V2 rockets. When Capone, Kirk and the rest of the crew, receive word that both Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany have attacked America simultaneously – air raids all across California and V2 rocket attacks all along the Eastern seaboard - Capone begs Kirk to use his starship to help him. But Kirk just wants to get his crew back to their timeline, and hopes his crew on the Enterprise figure out what happened to them.

(basically I fused two unused TOS ideas together, Imperial Japan winning WW2 and President Capone, for a story)

Next episode - "When the Walls Came Tumbling Down"
 
"When the Walls Came Tumbling Down" - The Enterprise visits a planet very similar to 2020s Earth where an America parallel has a border wall set up on the border it shares with a Mexico parallel. Tensions the landing party beams down on the Space America and a Hispanic Red Shirt ends up saving the life of a Space ICE Agent, the Space Americans are in civil unrest as this apparent Space Mexican whom they are taught to fear and distrust turns out to be a decent person.

Next episode - "Ensign in the Red Shirt"
 
"Ensign in the Red Shirt"- Kevin Riley risks his life to save Spock on a science mission and takes a highly venomous snake bite, but does not suffer from it. Shortly thereafter, he survives a fatal dose of engine radiation and lives. Baffled, McCoy tries to determine why Riley has somehow become immortal (it's temporary of course). When it's revealed that he drank water from a spring in one of the caves on the science mission, the crew struggle with whether to seek the water out or hide its existence...which becomes crucial when the Klingons land on the planet's surface in search of or and capture another science team. Riley might be the only one who can save them.

(Okay, a little in-joke-y, but compelling)

Next episode: "The Sum of Absolutes"
 
"The Sum of Absolutes" - While docked at Deep Space Station K-4, a transporter accident fuses Nurse Chapel with Pike’s Number One, creating Commander Chapel. This Commander Chapel still longs for Roger Korby and retains the complicated feelings for Spock of Nurse Chapel, as well as the fantasies of Captain Pike of Number One. Commander Chapel also wants to command M’Benga’s hospital ship, Hopeship, which is currently docked at K-4, to fulfill a life long ambition of Nurse Chapel to command a starship. With all of these dreams and ambition, Commander Chapel pleads with Kirk to not reverse the accident and to respect her individuality. While Kirk wants to respect her wishes, the admirals at Station K-4 wants Kirk to ignore her wishes and reverse that accident. Meanwhile, Spock acts on repressed feeling for Number One, believing it to be simply mutual respect that’s lasted decades, and engages in a romance with Commander Chapel.

(The reverse of “Second Chances” with a dash of “Tuvix”)

Next episode – “Rocks of Sisyphus”

“Rocks of Sisyphus” - An Enterprise landing party has not been heard from for three days since their shuttle landed on Dinama II. When a second party goes to investigate, they find the crew members have been imprisoned for "unlawful deviance". The planet is caught in a temporal loop that only certain members are aware of and outside of. Having experienced a "perfect day", they activated a device that would cause everything on the planet to repeat, allowing things to run smoothly while they enjoyed the leisure of needing to worry about nothing. All others are unaware of the repetition. Kirk berates those outside the loop for enslaving their world in repetition for their comfort, rescues the crew, and destroys the time loop machine...but not before giving the outside the loop people a taste of their own medicine.

Next episode: "Wildflowers"
