Star trek 5928.5 the impostor captain

date: 5928, 3,24,  "Turnabout Intruder" TOS

intro: around 3 days after Kirk dueld and kild c.green... and flew away from the lava planet, "stardate 5928.5".

my summary of the episode: Enterprise flew orbiting a ringed planet. Mccoy and Spock beamd down with Kirk. they visit Janice Lester who lay in bed. Surgeon, Doctor Arthur Coleman=dc was nursing her illness.

unexpectedly, Spock's tricorder detected faint life-form readings. she grabd kirk's arm so he stayd with her, while the other 3, go to investigate. Kirk talkd with her until he examind a device. she presd the remote-control so it trapd Kirk. she energeticly walkd to it, while smiling at the success of her trick. she stood beside him. it swapd their conciousness. now she is impostor captain=i.c', but he is in her body that the device weakend. ic' can fulfill her dream to be captain of a star ship. so ic' started to strangle her, to kill kirk. luckily for kirk, the others return so ic' stopd.

McCoy reported to ic' that all the mission staff died. he debated with dr. c' which treatment for her. ic' lifted her and they beam up.

a medical team pushed a bed to bring her to sickbay as ic' had orderd. there, ic' and Dr. C discuss her [the body containing kirk's conciousness]. despite dc's previous aid, to indirectly allow ic' to murder "Kirk," [delay mccoy's return], he refuses to actively kill her=Kirk.

McCoy came to treat his new patient. ic' orderd him to allow dr.c' to continue nursing her. McCoy intensley protested [his treatment differd and his patient now.] she awoke ergo nurse Chapel, an enterprise nurse, injected a sedative as dC directed.

ic' orderd Sulu to go to a hospital on Benecia. when Spock argued about the course, ic' showd anger, and went to Kirk's quarters.

there, "he" filed his nails, [hinting janice continued her habit], while mccoy askd to nurse HIS new patient, insted of dc' who has a bad record. ic' insisted dc' will continue. McCoy claimd that the captain is "under influence" ergo demanded a mental exam for "erratic" thinking. the bridge cald the captain.

In sickbay, she awoke and they argued. she demanded mccoy come and claimd a mind swap. Dr. Coleman told Nurse Chapel that she had paranoia for six months. He told Kirk, "You are insane, Dr. Lester." she lookd at her own face in a mirror and showd confusion.

later, she awoke and talkd with Chapel, who gave her a glass cup with juice. when chapel left she broke the cup and used its glass to cut the restraints.

McCoy spoke with Spock about the captain's odd behavior. the captain is under some influence of mental illness. ic' enterd the room. she ran along a corridor. before she coud talk with mccoy [not 2], ic' hit her, to mccoy's horror, and orderd her to isolation.

Spock enterd the room, escorted by one of the two door gards. she told Spock about the "life-entity" swap and askd for a vulcan mind meld. Spock saw the truth. the gard blockd the exit. Spock performd Vulcan nerv pinch, as Gard calld for help.

after McCoy examind ic', they hear by intercom that she escaped. ic' arrived where Spock also nerv pinchd the gard in the corridor by the door. spock surrenderd to ic' who broadcasted a call for a "court martial of Spock" for mutiny.

The judges gatherd. Scott questiond Spock, who claimd that by mind-meld he knows about the swap. Scott demands concrete proof . McCoy testifyd that his exams show ic' is mentally healthy. spock requested ic' bring her as a witness. she came and claimd the swap. ic' ridiculed that idea and accused Spock of mutiny, as ic's emotion intensified.

finally the judges consulted before the vote. McCoy and Scott agree that ic'  showd hysteria. if they vote spock innocent, then ic' will claim "you joind the mutiny".

ic' was recording this conversation, and accused them of joining the mutiny. ic' orderd the death penalty to all the mutineers. Chekov and Sulu protest "the death penalty is forbidden" [except one different law]. ic' angrily orders McCoy, Scott and  Spock imprisond. ic' orderd  a group execution.

while flying, Sulu and Chekov moved their hands away from their controls. luckily for kirk, the transfer started weakening.  ic' ran to DC in a lab to tell him. he repeated "i wont kill her." He gives ic' a lethal hypospray. they hurry to kill "her with kirk" before the swap will wear off...

ic' switched off  the cell's force field. before ic' can inject her, with "lethal hypospray" the swap effect wore off and ended. captain kirk, now kirk as before, holds the hypospray and does not kill her. she cryd. people talkd. ent' flew away to the next adventure: https://topvideossummaries.fandom.com/wiki/Stardate\_5943\_time\_travel
