Expecting
the
colonists of
Omicron Ceti III to be dead after three years of exposure to deadly
Berthold rays, Kirk and Spock are surprised to find the colony alive
and flourishing.
Spock
beams to the
surface and
meets a young botanist, Leila Kalomi, that he'd worked with previously,
and they renew the old friendship. When she worked with Spock six years
before on Earth, Leila had tried to interest Spock romantically, and
failed. Now she leads the Vulcan to a secluded section of the planet
where a native plant sprays him with their spores. Leila tells Spock
that the plant induces feelings of harmony and peace and love, along
with a desire to remain on Omicron Ceti III and their paradise.
The spores
serve to
break down
Spock's inhibitions and soon he has declared his love for Leila and his
desire to remain on the planet. Some of the plants are beamed aboard
the U.S.S. Enterprise and more of the crew are affected.
Captain
Kirk, the last
holdout,
finally is affected by the power of the spores and discovers, through
his own violent, adverse effect at leaving his beloved U.S.S.
Enterprise, that strong, violent emotions are what reverse the effect
of the spores.
Kirk
manages to lure
Spock back to
the U.S.S. Enterprise where he goads Spock into a fight. The extra
adrenaline in the Vulcan's system pushes the effect of the spores from
Spock and he reverts to normal ... just short of killing Captain Kirk.
Using
subsonic sound
waves, the two
officers manage to bring around the rest of the crew and colonists. Now
that the colonists realize that the spores have prevented them from
making any real progress and accomplishments, they plan to relocate
where the plants do not grow.

This is the

this to his captain. Of course, he was under
the influence of the Spores at the time so he's
got a good excuse.

Leila
Kalomi
The
beginning of
Leila's very emotional
speech to Mr. Spock.
Spock even uses a contraction (I can't)
which isn't like him at all. Leila must
really get to him. I know she would me.
Leila
Kalomi
I'm
surprised no
one has written the
story of how Spock and Leila met.
I'd enjoy that story.

A rare
admission
from Spock. It sounds like he
regrets leaving and maybe he does on a certain level.
I wonder if Spock kept in touch with Leila.
I'd like to think he did.
Yes, I know it's only a TV show.
