Stardate 3478.2: Accelerated aging affects the senior officers and threatens Kirk’s ability to lead.

While visiting planet Gamma Hydra IV on a routine mission, an Enterprise landing party consisting of Kirk, Spock, Dr. McCoy, Scotty, Chekov, and Lieutenant Arlene Galway are exposed to a strange disease. The illness, radiation poisoning caused by exposure to a comet, causes greatly accelerated aging. Robert Johnson, age 29, and his wife Elaine, age 27, have been transformed almost overnight into aged individuals whom McCoy is powerless to save. The entire landing party, with the exception of Chekov, begins to age rapidly as McCoy desperately searches for a cure. Kirk becomes forgetful, McCoy irritable — and Lieutenant Galway, possessed of an extraordinarily high metabolic rate, dies. Dr. Janet Wallace, an old friend of Kirk's, aids the researchers. Commodore Stocker, aboard the Enterprise en route to his new command at Starbase 10, orders Spock to convene an extraordinary competency hearing. The Vulcan does so reluctantly, and after Kirk's weaknesses are exposed, Stocker assumes command. He heads the starship toward Starbase 10 — straight into the Romulan Neutral Zone. With the Enterprise surrounded, McCoy discovers the antidote — adrenaline — in time to enable the restored Kirk to save the day with the tried-and-proven "corbomite" bluff.
