While Spock and Bones debate over whether or not to let the natives have their [[Outgrown Such Silly Superstitions|silly superstition]], things get personal when Vaal seizes the ''Enterprise'', putting everyone aboard in grave danger. No more debate. Vaal must be destroyed, even if it means forcing the childlike aliens to grow up. |

* [[Angst]]: Poor Kirk is having a bad day. He's torn between following Starfleet's orders and doing what he feels is right. The [[Red Shirt]] [[Survivors Guilt|body count]] is 4 by the episode's end. Spock nearly got himself killed twice. Spock and Bones are arguing...again. And as if that wasn't bad enough, an AI gone mad is trying to destroy his ship. [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking|Oh, and the cute blonde seems to like Chekov more than him.]] |
