Stardate 3614.9: Scotty is implicated in a Jack the Ripper-style murder.
Kirk and McCoy have taken Scotty to planet Argelius II for therapeutic leave following an accidental head injury caused by a female crew member. But a series of brutal murders of young women, apparently committed by Mr. Scott, suggest the engineer may have been more seriously injured than thought. Scotty can recall nothing, and Chief City Hengist wants him arrested immediately. Then a psychic reveals the real murderer: a previously unknown ancient life form, Redjac, that first appeared on Earth as Jack the Ripper. The entity, in its current incarnation of Hengist, is trapped aboard the Enterprise and transported into space at maximum dispersion, scattering and effectively destroying the creature.
