If I find that the episodes of the original Star Trek I watch for review continue on this sentimental and lovey dovey path I’ll stop doing this. We see Captain and Bones on another planet and ran into Bone’s ex-girlfriend who is really dead and is being impersonated. Her husband is with her and knew the whole episode that this was all a farce. He knew that the creature is a killer and kills for the salt in people’s bodies. It kills and keeps killing the crew until Bones relectantly killed it remembering his old love. Eventually all is back to normal but Ahura seems to love Spock. Go figure!
