Yeoman Rand magically appears this episode after not being here last episode, again a hint this is an out of order episode, and OOOOH! The tension between Yeoman Rand and Captain Kirk can be cut with a knife! Yeoman Rand is actually jealous of Kirk harmlessly flirting with this teenager Miri to get some answers. Granted Miri's actually over 300 years old...but they don't know that immediately! I mean does she look 300 to you?
After a certain point everyone on the landing crew except Spock gets the disease. Spock says it's in his system though so he cannot go back on the Enterprise. Spock and McCoy work to make a cure against the disease.
Miri sadly doesn't see Kirk's flirting as harmless and falls hard for him. She see's the super awkwardness between Kirk and Yeoman Rand and takes this opportunity to call upon the other kids and split up the two. Well, the other kids already stole the communicators the landing crew was using. But now that Miri's all jealous she has Rand kidnapped by a large group of kids.
Of Kirk comes running to her rescue and gets walloped by a group of kids. He convinces both the kids and Miri that if they don't listen to him they are all eventually gonna die, y'know, after getting a good whopping by a group of 300 year old 10 year olds.
Spock and McCoy finally finished the anti-virus but without the communicators they cant figure out if its safe or not. It's down to the wire so what does McCoy do? He injects himself with it and practically dies. IDIOT! I mean yes, it works. But what about the off chance it didn't? Spock even says it could have been "a vile of death."
Sometimes this show....there just aren't words to describe how extremely special it is...
And now a picture of Yeoman Rand and a bunch of kids because I think it's really cool:
