Spaceship
Seeming tense and erratic,
Captain Kirk takes the U.S.S. Enterprise into Romulan space and the
ship is immediately surrounded by Romulan warships. Kirk and Spock beam
aboard the Romulan flag-ship and confront the Romulan Commander, a
woman. Kirk explains that his ship entered Romulan territory because of
equipment malfunction. Spock, however, denounces this explanation,
saying Kirk ordered them here, due to his reduced mental stability.
This, not surprisingly, enrages the Captain. The Romulan Commander
orders the U.S.S. Enterprise be taken to the Romulan base. Scotty,
placed in command of the starship, refuses. McCoy is beamed aboard the
flag-ship to tend Kirk, who has become irrational to the point of
violence. When he arrives, Kirk attacks Spock who reacts, without
thinking, by using the Vulcan death grip, killing Kirk.
McCoy returns to the
U.S.S.
Enterprise with Kirk's body, while Spock remains on the Romulan ship.
Unknown to the Romulan Commander, this has all been a ploy to sneak the
officers on board and steal the Romulan cloaking device. After Kirk's
body has been removed to his ship, the Romulan Commander begins to try
and entice Spock into defecting to the Romulan side.
Disguised as a Romulan,
Kirk
returns to the Romulan ship and steals the vessel's cloaking device and
returns with it to the U.S.S. Enterprise. When the Commander discovers
the theft, she feels betrayed and in retaliation decides to execute
Spock. The Vulcan pretends to confess to her and ultimately stalls
until Scotty is able to install the cloaking device on board the U.S.S.
Enterprise. Spock is beamed back aboard the starship, but since the
Romulan Commander was standing near him, she is also beamed aboard.
The Romulan
Subcommander, now in
charge of the flag-ship, gives chase, ordered by his commander to
destroy the Federation ship. Fortunately, the newly-installed cloaking
device works and the U.S.S. Enterprise makes good her escape, with the
Romulan Commander on board as their prisoner.

That's very

What it REALLY means is that they can

money on new ones!

I can excuse
Spock's behavior up 'till now
because he was on a mission,
but this is out of character for him.
An annoying trend in the 3rd season.
You could tell the quality of scripts had gone down.
