Colonists on a distant planet are taken over by alien organisms that control their hosts by inflicting pain. Things take a turn for the worse when Spock is infected by one of the organisms and even his Vulcan ability to control pain isn't sufficient to resist them. The Enterprise crew must come up with a means of destroying the organisms without killing their human hosts.

Episode Notes |
| |
This episode resembles a concept developed by one of the three "Deans" of SF -- Robert Heinlein. The aliens in this episode strongly resemble the aliens central to the Heinlein novel, The Puppet Masters.
| Along with the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Bride of Chaotica!", this is one of only two episodes of Star Trek to feature an exclamation mark in the title.
| Shooting location: TRW Headquarters, Redondo Beach, CA

Episode Quotes |
| |
Spock: I am a Vulcan, Doctor. Pain is a thing of the mind. The mind can be controlled. You're only half Vulcan.
Kirk: What about the human half?
Spock: It is proving to be… an inconvenience, but it is manageable.
| Kirk: Mr. Spock... your logic, as usual, is inescapable.
| Kirk: Mr. Spock, regaining eyesight would be an emotional experience for most. You, I presume, felt nothing?
Spock: Quite the contrary, Captain. I had a very strong reaction. My first sight was the face of Dr. McCoy bending over me.
McCoy: Hmm... it is a pity brief blindness did not increase your appreciation for beauty, Mr. Spock.
| McCoy: (whispering) I said, please don't tell Spock I said he was the best first officer in the fleet.
Spock: (overhearing) Why, thank you, Dr. McCoy.
Kirk: You've been so concerned about his Vulcan eyes, Doctor, you forgot about his Vulcan ears.

Analysis |

What Changed in the Remastered Version
Deneva gets a nice upgrade, and we can see a small ship in the teaser scene, where the Enterprise pursues a Denevan intent on flying into the sun. Hand phaser effects improve slightly, and - a very nice addition - we see the satellites deployed by the Enterprise to irradiate Deneva.
| Excised Dialogue
While the removal of dialogue to make room for extra commercials is usually well done, there's an extremely awkward cut in the remastered syndicated version. McCoy says he's going to rig up a pair of protective goggles for Spock when he is exposed to the extreme light. Then Spock sits down and they proceed with the test with no goggles. The dialogue where Spock explains that he can't wear the goggles since the Denevans won't wear goggles is removed.
