The Enterprise travels to Exo III in search of exobiologist Dr. Korby, fiancé of Nurse Chapel.

Notes

Korby has been missing for 5 years. Christine Chapel gave up a promising career in biology to serve on a starship that might one day find Korby. Chapel decides to stay with the ship at the end of the episode.
Ruk is the last remaining android built by the Old Ones. The Old Ones became afraid of their machines and began to deactivate them. The machines overcame their programming and killed their inferior creators.
