It all starts when Kirk, Spock, Bones, Scotty, Chekov and Lt. Arlene Galway (A [[Red Shirt]] who knows how to rock a pixie cut and a blue mini dress) beam down to Gamma Hydra IV to check up on a colonization party. It looks as though everyone died of old age, though they haven't been there that long. They find a couple still alive who claim to be in their late 20's, but they look positively ancient. The couple is brought aboard the ''Enterprise'' for examination, but little can be done for them. It becomes even more imperative to learn how to halt this rapid aging when the landing party begins to age rapidly. Commodore George Stocker moves to have the rapidly aging Kirk relieved of duty- and transferred to him, seeing as how all other senior officers are likewise suffering. He holds a hearing where the crew is forced to admit that, yes, Kirk's absent mindedness has been affecting his ability to command. Stocker takes command and [[What an Idiot!|drives the ship straight into the Romulan Neutral Zone.]] Fortunately, Bones has discovered the antidote just in time and Kirk is ready to save the day.▼

* [[Afraid of Needles]]: There was a subplot where Chekov was reluctant to being poked and prodded in hopes of finding a cure. Unfortunately, these scenes are cut from the remastered episodes.
* [[Ass Pull]]: In a [[Call Back]] to "The Corbonite Maneuver", Kirk convinces the Romulans that the ''Enterprise'' will explode if continuously fired upon, also taking out all ships in area. Chekov can hardly contain his giggles.
* [[Crack! Oh, My Back!]]: After his gratuitous [[Shirtless Scene]], Kirk realizes his back hurts and goes to see Bones about it. He's shocked to hear that it's advanced arthritis.
* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Stocker tells Uhura to tell him when they've been contacted by Romulans. Suddenly, the ship shudders under an attack. "They've contacted us, sir." Uhura snarks.
* [[Due to
* [[Girl of the Week]]: Dr. Janet Wallace is an [[Old Flame]] of Kirk's. Unfortunately for him, she has since married.
* [[Grumpy Old Man]]: Bones becomes one. Of course, it helps that he started as a grumpy middle aged man. Kirk shows signs of this as his command was taken away.
Line 25 ⟶ 35:
* [[You Won't Feel a Thing]]: Chekov was assured this before the testing. Was he told this when they performed a scenectomy for the remastered episodes?
