Events of "Catspaw"
When a crewman from a landing party investigating the
latest planet visited by the Enterprise returns under some form of
exterior control and then dies, Kirk decides to beam down and see
for himself what caused the death. What Kirk, Spock and McCoy find
on the surface is a house of horrors right out of ancient Earth
mythology, right down to three hideous witches delivering a prophecy
of doom for the crew. Two aliens are found to be at the heart of the
evil activities, and they have no intention of letting Kirk or the
Enterprise leave their world... |

Events of "Metamorphosis"
Taking Federation Commissioner Hedford back to the Enterprise's sick
bay so McCoy can treat her for a potentially dangerous but curable
ailment, the shuttlecraft containing Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Hedford
is diverted by a strange energy field to a barren planet, inhabited
only by Cochrane, who invented the basis for current warp engine
technology decades ago and should be dead by now. Cochrane reveals,
however, that an energy creature called the Companion has halted his
aging process. The Companion is also concerned about Cochrane's
psychological well-being, and Kirk and the others have been brought
to keep Cochrane company - possibly for the rest of their lives. |

Events of "Friday’s Child"
The Enterprise rushes to an underdeveloped planet in an attempt to
stop Klingon intervention in the somewhat primitive society. The
Klingon Krag is trying to convince the planet's people that an
alliance with the Klingon Empire would be beneficial, and when Kirk
breaks cultural taboos - not to mention the prime directive - by
interfering with a "routine" killing and saving a pregnant woman, it
becomes all too easy for Krag to point out that the landing party
from the Enterprise have only come to usurp the planet's ways of
life. |

Events of "Who Mourns For
Adonais?"
The Enterprise is trapped in deep space by an enormous hand. Kirk
and a landing party beam down to a nearby planet and find that a
powerful being claiming to be the Greek god Apollo is the one
responsible for holding the Enterprise in its place - and Kirk
discovers that Apollo's ability to immobilize a starship is just a
small demonstration of the being's power. When Apollo demands that
the crew worship him, Kirk decides that the mythical figure must be
defeated - but must rely on playing with Apollo's emotions and
weaknesses since the being can tamper with the Enterprise's
technology. |

Events of "Amok Time"
Spock begins acting strange - even violent - as, unknown to the rest
of the crew, he enters the Vulcan mating phase that strikes adult
male Vulcans every seven years. Kirk must divert the Enterprise from
a tight schedule to return Spock to Vulcan so his mating ritual may
be carried out. But on arriving, it is discovered that Spock must
compete with a gladiator of his prospective mate's choice - and that
turns out, on the spur of the moment, to be Kirk. |

Events of "The Doomsday Machine"
The starship Constellation is found in deep space, almost completely
destroyed. The only person found aboard is Commodore Matt Decker, in
a state of shock and only able to give minimal details of what
happened. A gigantic ship/creature suddenly returns, well over ten
times the size of the Federation vessels, capable of literally
eating entire planets to replenish is colossal energy needs. Kirk is
trapped on the unarmed Constellation, while Decker takes command of
the Enterprise and plans to exact revenge on the huge alien vessel,
no matter what the risk to Kirk's ship and crew. |

After suffering a head injury on the Enterprise, Scotty is talking
into shore leave with Kirk and McCoy. On the planet they are
visiting, however, a series of grisly murders of local women begins,
and all the evidence seems to point to Scotty. Kirk must contend
with the overwhelming evidence against Scotty as well as the
overzealous local constable, who is ready to have Scotty punished as
soon as possible. |

Events of "The Changeling"
The Enterprise is attacked and boarded by the unusual space probe
Nomad, which Spock identifies as the combined remains of an alien
robot and an Earth exploration probe. Nomad's purpose - a confused
mix of aliens' orders and instructions from Earth - is to seek out
and sterilize all impurities, including imperfect beings like
humans. The only thing preventing Nomad from obliterating the
Enterprise and everyone on board is the similarity between the name
of Nomad's creator and Captain Kirk, and Kirk must try to play that
role as best he can while figuring out how to get rid of Nomad. |

An Enterprise landing party beams down to an paradisical planet,
where Kirk discovers that the people living there are still
primitive, all progress held in check by an enormous ancient
computer known as Vaal, which also demands sacrifices of food by the
natives. Vaal detects the Enterprise in orbit and begins to drain it
of its power, and Kirk realizes that he will have to destroy Vaal to
save the Enterprise, but the surface dwellers' lifestyles will be
changed forever if Vaal is removed. |

Events of "Mirror, Mirror"
Returning to the Enterprise from an unsuccessful mission to ask the
leaders of a planet for a possible mineral trade, Kirk, Uhura,
Scotty and McCoy are being beamed up just as a freak accident hurls
them into another reality, which still contains a USS Enterprise and
a Spock and a Federation, but the other reality's versions are cruel
and inhumane - the crew the alternate Enterprise is readying for a
strike against the planet Kirk just left to take their mineral
resources by force. Kirk and his landing party must try to cover
their inexplicable identities and try to fit in, while stopping the
savage alternate Enterprise from carrying its reign of terror any
further. |

Events of "The Deadly Years"
Conducting a survey of a planet, a landing party from the Enterprise
is contaminated with a form of radiation sickness that accelerates
aging. With the ship's entire command crew rapidly aging and slowly
losing their ability to perform their routine duties, Commodore
Stocker, who is aboard for a trip to his next starbase command,
decides he must question their competency and take the captain's
chair as Kirk, Spock and the others face an impending death of old
age. |

Events of "I, Mudd"
The Enterprise is taken over by Crewman Norman, who turns out to be
an android in disguise. He sets the ship on a course back to his
home world, a planet populated entirely by androids - and one Harry
Mudd, trapped there after a crash-landing. The androids plan to move
out beyond their own planet to populate the galaxy with more of
their logical, efficient kind, and the Enterprise is their chosen
means of transport. Kirk, although understandably suspicious of
Harry, must now cooperate with the con-man if the android invasion
is to be stopped. And the greatest weapon at the disposal of Kirk,
his crew, and Harry is total illogic. |

Events of "The Trouble with
Tribbles"
The Enterprise is summoned to space station K-7 for security duty
when the station's security forces are considered inadequate to
guard a shipment of valuable grain by the standards of Federation
agriculture administrator Baris. A shipload of Klingons stops off at
the station as well, which has all parties concerned even more about
the grain consignment. Kirk orders stepped-up security, but that
only results in some of the crew - including Scotty and Chekov -
instigating a massive bar brawl with the Klingons. All the while,
the seemingly harmless huckster Cyrano Jones is trying to peddle
furry tribbles off to anyone with a few credits, and Uhura buys one
and takes it back to the Enterprise, not knowing that tribbles do
only two things: eat and breed.

society that mixes savage ancient practices with 20th century
technology. Enemies of the Roman Empire-like state are rounded up
and forced to participate in televised coliseum battles. Kirk and
Spock briefly encounter a peaceful group of people, but all are
captured and prepared for their duels - including one event which
will pit Spock against McCoy. Kirk must hope that he and his landing
party can survive long enough for help to arrive from the
Enterprise. |

Events of "Journey to Babel"
Delegates from several worlds are welcomed aboard for a trip to
Babel where a Federation summit will take place, among them Vulcan
Ambassador Sarek - Spock's father, from whom he has been alienated
since childhood. Spock's human mother, Amanda, can't stop trying to
bridge the gap between her husband and son, while Spock and Sarek
can't seem to do anything but continue their rivalry.
At the Babel Conference, Ambassador Sarek manages to broker an
agreement to admit Coridan to the United Federation of Planets.
Prior to the conference, the journey of the ambassadors to Babel,
aboard the starship Enterprise, was complicated by an Orion plot to
assassinate the Tellarite ambassador with agents disguised as
Andorians. "Journey to Babel" (TOS), 100 years prior to "Sarek" (TNG). |

Events of "A Private Little War"
The Enterprise visits a primitive world where the Klingon Empire has
armed one faction of people against another in hopes of eliminating
the weaker population and allying the stronger warriors with the
Klingons. Spock is seriously injured when he, Kirk and McCoy beam
down, and is returned to the Enterprise for treatment as Kirk and
McCoy try to make contact with the locals. Kirk is injured by an
poisonous indigenous animal, but reaches, with McCoy's help, his old
friend Tyree. Tyree's mystical wife Nona cures Kirk and then pursues
him. Kirk and McCoy, in the meantime, may only be able to resolve
the unfair advantage between the planet's two factions by arming
Tyree against his people's Klingon-backed adversaries. |

Events of "The Gamesters of

A landing party beaming down to the Enterprise's latest stop is
intercepted by a more powerful, long-range transporter beam, which
hijacks Kirk, Uhura and Chekov to the planet Triskelion, where they
are immediately handed over to various "trainers" to prepare them
for their upcoming duties as gladiators to amuse the powerful rulers
of the planet. Spock orders the Enterprise to warp to Triskelion to
save the landing party but doesn't realize that the powers-that-be
on the planet may want to lure the Enterprise crew there to provide
them with even more entertainment. |

Events of "Obsession"
While a landing party is conducting a routine survey of a planet,
two crewman are killed and one badly injured by a cloudlike being
Kirk suddenly believes he has encountered before. It turns out that
the creature attacked a ship that Kirk had been stationed on years
before and killed most of the crew, and Kirk feels that he should
have been able to do more to save his former crewmates. He transfers
that guilt to the surviving landing party member, who not only is
considered responsible by Kirk, but is also the son of Kirk's former
captain on that previous assignment. Kirk orders the Enterprise to
follow the creature through space, determined to kill it - at any
cost - before it can take more lives. |

Events of "The Immunity Syndrome"
Spock telepathically receives the collective death cries of the
entire all-Vulcan crew of the USS Intrepid, which has just been
destroyed by an unknown force. The Enterprise intercepts a gigantic
organism, which then surrounds the ship, beginning to cause physical
and mental illness among the crew. Kirk, Spock and McCoy surmise
that this paradoxically huge single-celled organism may be a
"disease," as its course will soon take it through inhabited star
systems. The Enterprise may turn out to be the only "antibody"
capable of saving millions from the onslaught of the enormous
parasite. |

Events of "A Piece of the

The Enterprise encounters a planet recently visited by another
starship and discovers that a book on the Chicago mobs of the 1920s
accidentally left behind by a crew member of the previous ship has
become the basis of the planet's society structure over 200 years of
the planet's time (the starship having had warp drive). The
intelligent but imitative inhabitants show a keen interest in
replacing telephones with communicators and replacing tommy guns
with phasers when Kirk, Spock and McCoy - along with their standard
Starfleet landing party equipment - are captured. |

Events of "By Any Other Name"
The Enterprise responds to a distress call, finding only a trap set
by a small group of aliens from the Andromeda galaxy who are
assessing the potential of the Federation's home galaxy for
colonization. The aliens successfully take over the ship, reducing
all aboard except for Kirk, Spock, McCoy and Scotty to dehydrated
cubes so the ship's supply of food and oxygen can be used by the
hijackers and Kirk's command crew for the staggering 300-year return
to Andromeda. The aliens, having assumed human form, also gain
attributes such as emotions, which may be just the weakness Kirk and
the others need to attack to regain control of the Enterprise. |

Events of "Return to Tomorrow"
The Enterprise visits a planet long thought uninhabited, and finds
globes that contain the consciousness of the last survivors of the
planet, Sargon, Thalassa and Henoch. The three remaining beings wish
to "possess" the bodies of willing Enterprise crew members, leaving
the crew members' minds in the globes briefly as Sargon and his
companions use the human bodies to construct android bodies for
their minds. Kirk, Spock, and Dr. Mulhall agree to this procedure,
but Henoch, occupying Spock's body, has other plans than building an
android frame for himself. In the meantime, Sargon and Thalassa, in
the bodies of Kirk and Mulhall, fall in love all over again. One way
or another, though, the humans' bodies must be vacated since their
metabolism is incapable of withstanding the levels of activity taken
on by Sargon and the others. |

On arrival at Ekos, the Enterprise is the target of a nuclear
missile attack, a technology which didn't exist the last time a
Federation ship visited the planet. Kirk and Spock beam down to
investigate, discovering that the government on Ekos has been
transformed into a Nazi police state which came about when
Federation teacher John Gill tried to simply increase the efficiency
of the government on Ekos. Gill is now under the control of the
people he has tried to educate, and anyone who tries to reveal the
truth about Gill or rescue him - including Kirk and Spock - are
hunted men. |

Kirk is ordered to relinquish command of the Enterprise to Dr.
Daystrom's new M-5 computer, which, according to Daystrom, can make
all the decisions that a starship captain would encounter correctly
and more quickly than any human. The Enterprise, with Kirk and a few
others aboard, is engaged in Starfleet wargames, but the M-5 begins
to treat the other ships as a serious threat and retaliates with
full salvos of phasers and photon torpedoes, destroying one ship.
Believing Kirk may have lost his mind, Starfleet gives the remaining
ships permission to destroy the Enterprise. |

remains of the crew, wiped out by a disease which likely affects the
boarding party now. Transporting to the planet, Kirk finds that
Captain Tracey of the Exeter escaped his crew's fate, and the
atmosphere on the planet is capable of eliminating the disease from
the Enterprise landing party's bloodstreams. But more problems arise
as Tracey discards his loyalty to the prime directive in an attempt
to gain power in the planet's government. |

Events of "Assignment: Earth"
After warping back in time to the late 20th century for a glimpse of
Earth's past, the Enterprise intercepts a mysterious man who simply
calls himself Gary Seven. Although Gary and his ever-present black
cat Isis appear like inhabitants of the 20th century, Gary knows
what kind of ship he is on and recognizes Spock as a Vulcan, and
ascertains that the Enterprise is from the 23rd century. Gary Seven
evades security officers and resumes his journey to Earth. Kirk and
Spock assume 20th century disguises and pursue him, finding that
Gary is a time traveler from the future who is here to influence
Earth's history - but whether or not his influence will be benign is
another question altogether.
(Note: the entire episode takes place in 1968, but the time travel
trip that happened was at this point in the timeline)
