Stardate 5031.3: Disguised as a Romulan, Kirk steals a cloaking device.

Captain Kirk, in an overworked and confused state, takes the Enterprise into Romulan space, where the starship is immediately surrounded by Romulan ships that demand their surrender. Kirk and Spock beam aboard the Romulan flagship, and Kirk attempts to explain his ship's trespass as equipment failure, but Spock denounces his captain, stating that he deliberately acted without orders in entering Romulan territory. Dr. McCoy is the beamed aboard the Romulan vessel to examine the increasingly erratic Kirk, who, infuriated beyond reason, suddenly turns and attacks Spock. Spock, acting in self-defense, uses the Vulcan death grip, instantly killing Kirk. McCoy returns to the Enterprise with the captain's body. The Romulan Commander is highly interested in Spock, both professionally as well as personally, and she attempts to induce him into defecting to the Romulan Star Empire. Spock appears to be interested in her offer.

But the entire affair has been a hoax, to gain possession of the Romulan cloaking device — and there is no such thing as a Vulcan death grip. Kirk, surgically altered to appear Romulan, is beamed back aboard the flagship and steals the device. After the theft is discovered, Spock is detained as a spy. As he awaits execution, Chekov locates the Vulcan using the Enterprise's sensors, and Spock is beamed back aboard — along with the Romulan Commander. The Enterprise escapes by using the cloaking device, hurriedly installed by Scotty. Kirk is left with an unexpected bonus — the captive Romulan Commander — while Spock must contemplate the deceit that he practiced on the woman.
