Arriving at the planet [[Triacus]], the [[U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701|''Enterprise'']] finds that the scientists in the [[Starnes Expedition]] have all committed suicide to escape an evil presence &mdash; "the enemy within." The colony's children are unharmed and strangely oblivious to their parents' deaths. [[transporter|Beamed]] aboard the ''Enterprise,'' the children are cared for while [[Starfleet Captain|Captain]] [[Kirk, James T.|Kirk]] attempts to discover the truth. Meanwhile, an entity named [[Gorgan]], a "friendly angel" summoned by the children and made powerful by their belief in him, has come aboard the ''Enterprise'' with the intention of using the ship to take him to other planets. To prevent the ''Enterprise'' crew from fighting him, Gorgan renders Kirk incapable of giving orders, frightens the ship's officers with illusions, and convinces [[Spock]] that nothing is wrong. Kirk's distress shocks Spock back to normal. Fighting Gorgan, they show the children [[tricorder]] recordings of their parents &mdash; and of their [[grave|graves]]. Suddenly, the children see Gorgan not as a "friendly angel" but for what he actually is: an ugly, evil force. Rendered harmless by the loss of his followers, the entity fades into nothingness.

Stardate 5041.1: A group of children is being controlled by an evil force.

Arriving at the planet Triacus, the Enterprise finds that the scientists in the Starnes Expedition have all committed suicide to escape an evil presence — "the enemy within." The colony's children are unharmed and strangely oblivious to their parents' deaths. Beamed aboard the Enterprise, the children are cared for while Captain Kirk attempts to discover the truth. Meanwhile, an entity named Gorgan, a "friendly angel" summoned by the children and made powerful by their belief in him, has come aboard the Enterprise with the intention of using the ship to take him to other planets. To prevent the Enterprise crew from fighting him, Gorgan renders Kirk incapable of giving orders, frightens the ship's officers with illusions, and convinces Spock that nothing is wrong. Kirk's distress shocks Spock back to normal. Fighting Gorgan, they show the children tricorder recordings of their parents — and of their graves. Suddenly, the children see Gorgan not as a "friendly angel" but for what he actually is: an ugly, evil force. Rendered harmless by the loss of his followers, the entity fades into nothingness.
