Original Airdate: September 27, 1968
Stardate: 5027.3
Synopsis: McCoy, Scotty and the crew are nearly numb with shock. Kirk has apparently gone mad, plunging the Enterpriserecklessly into the Neutral Zone and an easy Romulan ambush, while Spock seemingly defects to the female commander on the scene in return for retaining command as her mate -- having killed his captain with the "Vulcan death grip." But all is a hoax: the captain returns from the "dead" to reveal their covert mission to steal a cloaking device for Starfleet to dissect. Kirk secures the unit while surgically altered to appear Romulan, but Spock's ploy and the theft are both detected in time to turn the Romulans on the Enterprise. If only Scotty could install the alien technology aboard the starship to escape.

Guest Cast:
Joanne Linville as Romulan Commander
Jack Donner as Subcommander Tal
Majel Barrett as Christine Chapel

The "quotable" below is reminiscent of a saying from a famous American author. Name the author and the quote.

Sulu: Captain!
Chekov: You're alive!
Uhura: They said you'd been killed.
Kirk: The report was premature.

On January 23, 1968, the Pueblo, an American Navy intelligence gathering ship and its crew was seized in the Sea of Japan by North Korean forces who claimed it was in North Korean waters. The U.S. claimed it was in international waters.
