The Enterprise is taken over by a new crewman, Mr. Norman, who redirects it to a distant planet. He booby traps the controls and the crew is forced to wait and see where they end up. They end up at a planet populated by androids... and their old adversary, Harcourt Fenton Mudd, who wishes to use the Enterprise to get away.

| Roger C. Carmel (Harry Mudd) would later reprise his role in the Star Trek: The Animated Series episode "Mudd's Passion". | David Gerrold, who also wrote "The Trouble With Tribbles", did an uncredited rewrite of this episode. | Scotty (James Doohan) says that "robots and androids, they're just not capable of independent, creative thought". Over 100 years later, he would later meet the android Data (Brent Spiner), a main character on Star Trek: The Next Generation. The same is also true of Spock (Leonard Nimoy) and Dr. McCoy (DeForest Kelley). Data was capable of great creativity particularly through art and music. | George Takei (Sulu) only appears in one scene. |

| McCoy: They're perfect. Flawless, mentally and physically. No weaknesses, perfectly disciplined. No vices, no fears, no faults. Just a sense of purpose. | Captain Kirk: What is man but that lofty spirit...that sense of enterprise. | Harry Mudd: Knowledge, sir, should be free to all! | Captain Kirk: We prefer to help ourselves. We make mistakes, but we're human...and maybe that's the word that best explains us. | Harry Mudd: Behind every great man, there is a woman... urging him on. | Captain Kirk: Well, opinions?
Chekov: I think we're in a lot of trouble.
Captain Kirk: That's a great help, Mr. Chekov. Bones?
Dr. McCoy: Well, I think Mr. Chekov is right. We are in a lot of trouble.
Captain Kirk: Spock. And if we say we're in a lot of trouble...
Spock: We are. | Captain Kirk: Why Harry, I do believe you're putting on weight! | Chekov: What's next, Captain?
Captain Kirk: (smirks) We take the Alices on a trip through Wonderland! | Chekov: (to Dr. McCoy and Scotty) Thank you, gentleman. (to Uhura) Thank you, lovely lady. You dance diwinely.
Uhura: Thank you, kind sir.
(She hits him with the back of her right hand, knocking him to the ground)
Alice #118: Why does she strike him?
Captain Kirk: She likes him. | Spock: (to Norman) Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in the meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers that smell bad. | (Scotty has just "died")
Captain Kirk: Let us hear it for our dead friend.
(He, Dr. McCoy and Harry Mudd burst out laughing) | Kirk:What, in your opinion, does direct them?
Spock:There are a large number of Alices, of Trudys, Masies, Annabelles, and according to my research, a Herman series, an Oscar series - a whole plethora of series in fact. But only one Norman... | Chekov: What a shame you're not real...
Alice 322: We are real, my lord.
Chekov: Oh, I mean, real girls.
Alice 118: We are programmed to function as human females, lord.
Chekov: You are?
Alice 118 and Alice 322: (in unison) Yes, my lord.
Chekov: Harry Mudd programmed you?
Alice 118 and Alice 322: (in unison) Yes, my lord.
Chekov: That unprincipled, evil-minded, lecherous kulak Harry Mudd programmed you?
Alice 118 and Alice 322: (in unison) Yes, my lord.
Chekov: This place is even better than Leningrad! |

| Apparently Chekov was not aboard the Enterprise at the time of "Mudd's Women" as he had not met Harry Mudd before. If he had, he would surely have remembered both Mudd and his woman, who were irresistible to every man aboard the ship. |

| What Changed in the Remastered Version
The expected cleanups of sound and picture are present. CGI replacements include: the Class K planet where the androids are emplaced has been replaced by richer yellow planet with Saturn-like rings. A number of exterior shots of the Enterprise all employ the new model (it appears more here than any episode aired to date). Norman's internal mechanism (partially revealed early in the episode) received an update. |
