After Scotty is granted therapeutic leave after a head injury, Kirk and Bones take him to Argelius II to visit a nightclub that has a sort of gypsy/Arabian Nights theme going on. Scotty seems to be recovering nicely and chats up a dancing girl named Kara. Kirk and Bones decide to leave Scotty alone with his new friend, but stop when they hear a screech from an alley. Kara is dead and Scotty is standing over her as if in a trance.
Line 8 ⟶ 19:
Scotty, Jaris, Hengist and two other persons of interest (Kara's father and her ex-boyfriend) are beamed aboard the ''Enterprise'' with Kirk and Bones. Scotty is further questioned, using the ship's computer as a lie detector. The conclusion is that Scotty does not know if he committed the murders. He remembers black outs, coldness and a stench like a slaughterhouse. Kirk suggests using a brain scanner to learn what exactly happened. Then, Hengist suddenly goes berserk....

* [[As You Know]]:
{{quote|'''Spock''': As we know, the value of pi is a transcendental figure without resolution. The computer banks will work on this problem to the exclusion of all else until we order it to stop.}}
* [[Angst? What Angst?]]: While Jaris shows anger at his wife's murder, it's no stronger than what he feels at the murder of two strangers.
* [[Belly Dancer]]: The first thing we see in the episode is Kara performing at the nightclub with finger cymbals.
Line 27 ⟶ 39:
* [[Lights Off, Somebody Dies]]: How Sybo is killed
* [[Mouthful of Pi]]: Spock prevents Redjac from taking over the ship's life support systems by ordering it to calculate the last digit of pi.
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: Lots! It was written by [[Robert Bloch]]; what do you expect?
** The terrified screams just before the murders
** The fact that Scotty ''just might'' have done those murders while possessed by Redjac.
Line 36 ⟶ 48:
* [[Spooky Seance]]: Sybo hosts one. It's her last.
