#62: Star Trek: The Animated Series, season 1, episode 12 "The Time Trap"

Written by Joyce Perry, directed by Hal Sutherland.

Stardates 5267.2 through 5267.6

"Home, with all its faults, is where we prefer to be." - Captain Kirk

The Enterprise has been sent to survey a region of space called the Delta Triangle, which is infamous for being a place where many ships throughout history have disappeared without a trace. While surveying, the Klingon Battlecruiser Klothos appears and attacks the Enterprise. But in the midst of its attack, the Klingon ship vanishes just like so many ships before. More Klingon ships appear and blame the Enterprise for the destruction of the Klothos. Out gunned and surrounded, Captain Kirk decides to take the Enterprise to the exact spot the Klothos disappeared and she also disappears into a pocket of starless space with a vast graveyard of derelict ships... ships that match the descriptions of those lost in the Delta Triangle. When the Klothos finds the Enterprise to resume fighting and their weapons no longer work, Captain Kirk and Commander Kor are beamed off their ships and stood before the Council of Elysia - made up of the survivors of the vanished ships - and are told that here there is total peace... and no possibly of escape.

#61: Star Trek: The Original Series, season 3, episode 12 "The Empath"

Written by Joyce Muskat, directed by John Erman.

Stardate 5121.5 (November 2268)

"You don't understand what it is to live." - Captain Kirk

The Enterprise is sent to evacuate a research station on Minara II. However, when they arrive, the station is deserted. As they begin searching the station, a massive solar flare threatens the Enterprise and Captain Kirk orders Commander Scott to take her to a safe distance and pick them back up when it is safe. Commander Spock plays the station's security recordings and they witness the researchers vanish one by one after hearing a high-frequency noise. Just as they see this, the landing party experiences the same high-frequency noise before disappearing one by one. They awaken inside a dark room with an alien woman who cannot speak. Doctor McCoy concludes that it's natural for her species and Spock deduces she is an empath. Without warning, two older alien men appear and immediately assert dominance against everyone with advanced technological abilities. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy are lab rats in some kind of experiment but they do not know to what end. Or why a frightened, empathetic woman is involved.

Written by D.C. Fontana, directed by John Meredyth Lucas.

Stardates 5027.3 through 5027.4 (October 2268)

"It would be illogical to assume that all conditions remain stable." - Commander Spock

Doctor McCoy is becoming increasingly worried that Captain Kirk is being overworked and is beginning to buckle under the stress of command. As Kirk becomes increasingly short with his crew he suddenly orders the ship to enter Romulan space seemingly without orders to do so. The Enterprise is almost immediately surrounded by a small armada of Romulan ships under the control of a female Romulan Commander. Kirk and Spock are taken aboard her flagship and interrogated. But Spock unexpectedly reveals that Kirk's transgression into Romulan space was of his own accord, which causes him to break and try to attack Spock in anger. Thrown into a Romulan prison cell, Kirk is left suffering from a mental breakdown and in a catatonic state while the Commander sets her eyes on Spock to attempt to lure him over to her side in more ways than one.
