After viewing some footage and receiving a briefing on the people of Capella IV, Kirk, Spock, Bones and a [[Red Shirt]] with the shortest career ever beam down to negotiate with the locals. It seems the Klingons have gotten there first and the Capellans seem to have more of a reportrapport with them than they could ever have with Starfleet. Bones has been well versed in Capellian etiquette, but thing still manage to go to Hell when Kirk saves High Teer Akaar's wife from being murdered. (There is a strict taboo against men touching unrelated women on this planet.) Kras the Klingon capitalizes on this, turning the rest of the Capellans against Kirk and co. Meanwhile, a Klingon ship is playing a Cat-And-Mouse game with the ''Enterprise''.
 
Kirk, Bones and Spock escape into the wilderness with Eleen, the High Teer's wife (now widow) who is about to give birth any minute. After the baby is delivered, Eleen knocks out Bones and returns to the Capellans, telling them the ''Enterprise'' landing party and the baby are all dead. Her people take her at her word, but Kras demands proof. Kirk and Spock are forced to attack him with handmade bows and arrows, having surrendered their weapons. Maab decides that this is all his own fault and demands that Kras kills him. Kras is all too eager to comply and is soon killed himself. The baby is named Leonard James Akaar and pronounced the new Teer. Kirk and party succeed in arranging diplomatic relations with the people of Capella IV.
Line 34:
* [[Would Hit a Girl]]: After Eleen bitch slaps him twice, Bones returns with a slap of his own. He later calls it a "right cross". While it wasn't that violent, it did garner some respect from his hither-too reluctant patient.
