Stardate 5373.4: Spock travels back in time to prevent his death as a boy.

Federation personnel, including Kirk and Spock, explore the planet Orion's past using the Guardian of Forever. When they return, no one recognizes Mr. Spock: for the past five years, the Enterprise's first officer has been an Andorian named Thelin. Ship's records reveal that Sarek and Amanda's son was killed at the age of seven, and that the couple separated after their loss. Spock recalls that, years before during his kahs-wan — a Vulcan coming-of-age ritual — a distant cousin, Selek, saved his life. Spock realizes that he must return through the Guardian and become Selek to rectify the distorted timeline. Arriving in his home city of ShiKahr, Spock saves his younger self's life, but the boy's pet sehlat, I-Chaya, is gravely wounded. Given the choice of keeping his pet alive for a short time longer or offering the sehlat a dignified death, young Spock chooses the latter and, in doing so, decides to live by his Vulcan heritage. The elder Spock returns to the future to find the timeline restored to normal, and resumes his station aboard the Enterprise.
