Shenanigans! Rigamarole! HIJINKS!!!
That is the basis of this fifth episode of the season. Enterprise is docked at Starbase 1 for some much needed repairs and also much needed R&R for the crew.
Spock has big ideas of spending some *quality time* with his fiancee, T'Pring – but work keeps getting in the way. Eventually, in an attempt to share their souls in a Vulcan ritual, they swap katras and can get them swapped back. Didn't i say there was hijinks?!
Meanwhile, Number One and La'an are wandering the empty decks of the Enterprise wondering why people think they aren't fun – when they discover the game of "Enterprise Bingo." Nurse Chapel finds her casual relationship has taken a serious turn and has to extricated herself from the poetry-spouting Lt. Devers, even while giving Spock advice on his more serious relationship.
Oh, also, there is a SUPER important diplomatic thing going on with the R'ongovian Protectorate, where the Federation really needs to get a deal together as they own the only safe route through Klingon and Romulan space. But, you know, I'm sure this will all make sense one day.
