#87: Star Trek: The Animated Series, season 1, episode 16 "The Jihad"

Written by Chuck Menville & Len Janson, directed by Hal Sutherland

Stardate 5683.1 (early 2269)

"We're tired, sore, hurt, and angry. But we're also just about there." - Captain Kirk

Captain Kirk and Commander Spock are invited to take part in a multi-species expedition to find a religious artifact that was stolen so that it can be returned before word of the theft gets out. The publicizing of the theft could ignite a jihad across the entire galaxy, so an elite team has been assembled to recover it quickly. To make matters worse, the planet the artifact has been hidden on is geologically unstable, resulting in unexpected lava flows and other extreme dangers. The group must leverage their individual strengths to keep everyone else safe from the myriad of natural dangers as well as each other.

Originally released: 12 January 1974

BONUS #4: Star Trek Continues, episode 4 "The White Iris"

Written by Vic Mignogna & Chris White, directed by James Kerwin.

Stardate 6182.3 (sometime in 2269)

"It's not your fault, Jim." - Nakia

While wrapping up the formal ceremony to admit the planet Chalcis into the United Federation, Captain Kirk is attacked by an Eretrian spy from their militaristic sister planet. He is beamed directly to sickbay, but he is already dying from a critical blow to his head. Doctor McCoy risks using a new drug that isn't yet full tested in a last ditch effort to save him. To everyone's relief, Kirk not only survives but quickly stabilizes and feels fine long before McCoy feels safe saying he's fine. But moments later, Kirk's memory fails him in the most inopportune way and he begins to hallucinate women from his past. With Eretria planning a full assault against Chalcis for siding with the Federation and the codes for their new planetary defense system locked somewhere in Kirk's mind, he has to learn to trust other people with some of his most closely-guarded memories in the hopes of clearing up his mental block before millions perish.
