{{quote|''Charlie, there are a million things in this universe you can have and there are a million things you can't have. It's no fun facing that, but that's the way things are.''|Captain Kirk}}
The ''Enterprise'' takes on a passenger, [[Blatant Lies|being that they are commonly in the habit of ferrying civilians]]. The boy is Charlie, an orphan with a [[Mysterious Past]] and [[No Social Skills|really bad social skills.]] The people dropping him off seem in quite a hurry to leave.
Charlie becomes infatuated with Yeoman Rand, [[Stalker with a Crush|stalking her]] and delivering presents she doesn't want. In the rec room we get to see Spock and Uhura make [[The Cast Showoff|music]] together, which annoys Charlie.
Line 13 ⟶ 22:
{{tropelist|page=Charlie X}}
* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Charlie doesn't want to go back with the Thasians, as they aren't physically real like Kirk or Rand. Kirk evens argues for a chance for Charlie to stay if he can be rehabilitated. But the Thasians point out they can't undo the talents they'd given Charlie to survive on their world. Charlie begs to stay... stay
* [[The Blank]]: Charlie erases several random [[Nightmare Fuel|crew members' faces]] while having a tantrum.
* [[The Cast Showoff]]: [[Nichelle Nichols]]. The musical rec room scene was entirely unnecessary, but entertaining.
Line 24 ⟶ 33:
* [[Wild Child]]: Everyone assumed Charlie took care of himself from a very early age, explaining his horrible social conduct.
