Dr. Janice Lester, who was
once involved with Captain Kirk, harbors a deep hatred of the captain,
because she, herself, has never been able to captain a starship. On
their way to Beta Aurigae, the U.S.S. Enterprise receives a call for
help from Camus II. The landing party finds only Janice Lester and Dr.
Coleman, who claim that the everyone else was killed by celebium
radiation. In fact, Janice is quite ill from it.
Unaware of Lester's
feelings of
hatred toward him, Kirk sits with her, recalling their days together.
Kirk is suddenly trapped into a life-entity transfer with Janice. His
personality is in her body, while she takes over his, finally becoming
captain of a starship. Kirk, with Janice's essence, tries to kill her
victim, but fails. McCoy transports Janice, with Kirk's essence, to
sickbay to try and treat her illness. While Kirk, trapped in Janice's
body, tries to convince everyone that he's really the captain, Janice
takes control of the ship and diverts it to the Benecia Colony. There
she plans to leave her body, that houses Kirk's essence, thereby
eliminating all her problems.
The crew becomes
suspicious of her
actions and, when Spock tries to question her, she charges him with
mutiny. They realize something is wrong and Janice/Kirk is relieved of
duty. When the transfer weakens and finally breaks, Kirk returns to his
body, as Janice's essence returns to hers. Janice makes a last attempt
to hurt Kirk, then collapses. Dr. Coleman, in love with Janice,
requests that he be allowed to care for her. The U.S.S. Enterprise and
her crew return to their mission, with their rightful captain at the
helm.

Next time you watch
this episode pay
special
attention to what Janice/Kirk is doing during this scene:
Filing her/his finger nails!
They gave William Shatner some nice feminine
nuances to make it more convincing that his body
had been taken over by a woman.

It's amazing how
much power the chief medical officer
has aboard a ship, but I think it's a good thing.

Why is Mr. Sulu
relaying this message to Kirk?
Sulu is the helm officer not the communications officer.
In my opinion it's because Uhura isn't in this
episode so they gave her line to a regular cast
member instead of the actor taking Uhura's place.

Under the
heading of "useless trivia" you might
be interested to know that this is the only time in the
entire series that an actor, other than William Shatner,
portrayed the character of Captain Kirk.

They forgot
something in this episode:
There must be at least 3 officers of command rank
(captain or higher) present to proceed with a court martial.
Kirk is the only officer of that rank on board the
Enterprise
so a court martial cannot proceed.
This was established in the episode "The Menagerie."

by Janice/Kirk. First of all, how would this conversation
get recorded and second, how did Janice/Kirk get back
into the room? She/he left and Scotty & McCoy
were standing just outside the door the entire time.
I know, picky, picky, picky!

And so ends the

Another piece of "useless trivia" for you:
William Shatner had the flu during the filming of this episode.
At this point there were some 4th season stories
in the works but of course they weren't needed.
Guess where they ended up... season 1
of Star Trek: The Next Generation!!
