Stardate 5143.3![]() Romulan ships, having been advised of the breach of the Neutral Zone, surround the Enterprise. The Vendorian, disguised as an Enterprise crewman, damages the deflector shield, which requires two hours to repair. Later, the creature reveals his identity to Nored, explaining that her former fiancé is dead but since he had absorbed so many emotions from human males, he indeed can love her. The Romulans proceed to attack the Enterprise. Realizing that he has put his love in jeopardy by destroying the ship's shields, the shape-shifter forms himself into a deflector shield around the ship. After the Romulans retreat, the Vendorian reveals that he is a spy for the Romulan Empire, but he could not allow Nored to die in battle. Kirk informs him that he will stand trial but his efforts to save the ship will be considered. Nored tells him that he is much like her former lover and that he will enjoy life on Earth, perhaps even together with her. |

Stardate 5483.7![]() Upon waking, Kirk, Spock, and McCoy discover that they are aging rapidly as a result of life-draining headbands they are forced to wear. McCoy administers cortropine to counter the aging process while Spock, having obtained a communicator, unsuccessfully tries to contact the ship. On board the Enterprise, Uhura has taken command due to Scotty's irrational behavior, while Nurse Chapel acts as Chief Medical Officer. Uhura orders an all-female landing party to transport down to rescue the men. The siren women explain to them that they had fled from a dying planet only to arrive on Taurus II where they encountered the life-draining force. The women developed a biological resistance to the force, effective only if they can replenish their own life-force every 27 years. Thus they capture men to drain their energy. The landing party eventually beams the male landing party back up to the ship just in time to replenish their life-force. Kirk agrees to transport the women to a safe world where they will again prosper. |

Stardate 5371.3![]() The ship's shields barely hold together while Spock discovers that the cloud is a living entity with a brain. He also discovers that they can escape through the top of the entity if they act quickly. The Enterprise travels through the creature's body while antimatter continues to drain the ship's power. Scotty, however, is able to create a power regeneration system by using part of the entity's body. Kirk realizes that the only way to save the planet may be to kill the creature by exploding the Enterprise while inside. Instead, Spock mind-melds with the cloud and allows the creature to see glimpses of human life. The creature comes to understand that its food — planets — contains living creatures. The cloud allows the USS Enterprise to leave peacefully and agrees to depart the galaxy. |

Mudd is placed in the brig, where he confesses to other con jobs and is once again sent away for rehabilitation. |
