[Laura Cynthia Chambers]

"Fool's Gold" - The Enterprise heads to Auros III with the goal of retrieving a cache of valuable matter uncovered by a Federation science team that has the potential to revolutionize matter replication. When they arrive, they find the scientists have managed to terraform the planet...or so it seems. With Klingons in hot pursuit of the same objective, this substance creates powerful illusions but the planet is in fact as barren as ever. It also has the unfortunate side effect of breeding a different kind of madness - that of comfort, lassitude, and ennui. Which means it might be a powerful weapon to subjugate enemies - but one might wind up falling in their own trap.

The Birdhouse

While studying the nebula Oris II, the Enterprise discovers an M-class planet nearby, inhabited by a pre-warp civilisation. When Kirk beams down with a landing party, disguised to blend in with the locals, they get to know the local populace, the Iluun. The Iluun are a happy and healthy people, yet they only inhabit a small portion of their world’s land, and have no interest in improving their rudimentary technology. With the help of Spock and Scotty, Kirk finds that the Iluun are confined to their small living space by an energy field, and that the resources inside the field have been artificially enriched, presumably by a more advanced civilisation. This advanced civilisation provides everything the Iluuns need, hence their lack of interest in technology. Kirk attempts to take one of the Iluuns, a young woman named Mirai, outside the energy field, but as soon as they step foot outside, the Enterprise is attacked by the advanced civilisation, called the Zaar, who are angry that their “pet project” has been interfered with. Kirk had to decide whether to leave the Iluun to their voluntary captivity, where they will live at the whim of the Zaar, or break the Prime Directive and interfere in another civilisation’s affairs.

Those Halcyon Days

The Enterprise is ordered to mediate a disturbance on Federation member Zaniah V where two factions are on the brink of civil war. One faction won its supporters with promises to return the society to its customs from an earlier time, but the crew of the Enterprise learn of the dark customs that took place during those times and the hidden motivations of those faction leaders to return to those customs.

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

LILITH

Ambassador Lilith McAllister (Kathy Garver with short-cropped hair) seems awfully young to mediate Terran/Romulan/Klingon peace treaties (she's seven years younger than Chekov), but Admiral French gave her his high recommendations to Kirk. But when Klaatubaradaniknak (Jack Nicholson in swarthy makeup) kidnaps her younger siblings Bufee and Johday it's a potentially tragic family affair for Starfleet. This episode needed four minutes of filler so Uhura provides a jaunty jingle titled ''Swing It, Mista Spock.''
