When
Spock
begins to exhibit strange, erratic behavior, Kirk asks McCoy to conduct
a medical examination. McCoy concludes that Spock is experiencing a
potentially lethal internal distress.
Spock explains to them that Vulcans are married as children with the
understanding that they will fulfill this commitment when they become
adults. Spock has reached this time, the "pon farr," and if he doesn't
get to Vulcan immediately to mate with his bride, T'Pring, he will die.
Kirk jeopardizes his career by disobeying a direct order to the
contrary from Starfleet, and proceeds with all possible speed to
Vulcan. As Spock's friends, Kirk and McCoy are invited to witness the
marriage ritual — the "Koon-ut-kal-if-fee." T'Pau, a highly
respected member of the high-counsel, will conduct the ceremony.
Trouble starts when T'Pring announces she would rather marry Stonn, a
full Vulcan. T'Pring evokes her right to have Spock fight for her.
However, she chooses Kirk as her champion. Fearing his friend is too
weak to fight, Kirk agrees. It is only then he is informed that it is
to be a fight to the death.
The fight ensues and Spock quickly demonstrates physical superiority.
McCoy objects to T'Pau that Kirk isn't used to the Vulcan atmosphere
and climate. He asks to inject the captain with a tri-ox compound to
compensate. T'Pau agrees and Kirk is given the injection.
During the fight, Spock kills Kirk and McCoy accompanies the captain's
body back to the U.S.S. Enterprise. Spock, his mating urges curbed by
the knowledge that Kirk, his friend and captain, is dead by his own
hand, relinquishes T'Pring to Stonn. He solemnly returns to the
starship. There he finds Kirk alive and well, having been injected not
with tri-ox, but with a knock-out drug which simulated the signs of
death. Overjoyed, Spock smiles and utters a delighted "Jim!" before
returning to his controlled, logical self. |
