Written and directed by John Meredyth Lucas.
Stardate 4372.5 (June 2268)
"We cannot make peace with people we detest." - Petri
The Enterprise agrees to a top-secret escort for a Troyian Ambassador and the Dohlman of Elas for a marriage of convenience intended to end war between their two planets. However, there is barely-contained chaos on the ship from the moment the Dohlman comes aboard. She demands absolute obedience form everyone aboard, including Captain Kirk and Ambassador Petri. A forced arrangement which becomes harder and harder for both men to endure. To make matters worse, a Klingon ship is detected lurking nearby.
Originally released: 20 December 1968
