Kirk and a landing party beam down to examine tritantium deposits and are attacked by a gaseous creature that feeds on red blood cells. Kirk remembers the creature as one that he fought---and failed to destroy---earlier in his career and where his mistake killed half the crew. Now the creature is stalking the Enterprise and Kirk is determined to destroy it no matter what the cost.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Spock: Pure tritanium.
Kirk: Fantastic. 20 times as hard as diamond.
Spock: 21.4 times as hard, to be exact.
| Spock: I hope I'm not disturbing you, Doctor.
McCoy: Interrupting another autopsy report is no disturbance, it's a relief.
Spock: I need your advice.
McCoy: Then I need a drink.
Spock: I do not understand your reasoning.
McCoy: You need advice from me? You must be kidding.
Spock: I do not joke, Doctor. Perhaps I should rephrase my statement. I require an opinion.
| Kirk: Maintain search. Kirk out. It can't have just vanished.
McCoy: Sometimes they do... if we're lucky. Monsters come in many forms. You know the greatest monster of them all, Jim? Guilt.
| Ensign Garrovick: What's happening?
Chapel: Are we still chasing that thing half way across the galaxy? Yes. Has the captain lost his sense of balance? Maybe. Is the entire crew about ready to explode? Positively. You're lucky you're out of it.
| Chapel: You know, self-pity's a terrible first course. Why don't you try the soup instead?
| Spock: May I suggest that we no longer belabor the question of whether or not we should have gone after the creature? That's academic. The creature is now after us.
| Spock: The fault was not yours, Jim. In fact, there was no fault.
Kirk: If you want to play analyst, Spock, use someone else, not me. My concern is with the ship and the crew.
| Kirk: Don't misunderstand my next question. Mr. Spock, why aren't you dead?
McCoy: It's that green blood of his.
Spock: My hemoglobin is based on copper, not iron.
McCoy: I'll bet he left a bad taste in the creature's mouth, too.
Spock: Colloquially expressed, but essentially correct.
| Scotty: Captain! Thank heaven!
Spock: Mr. Scott, there was no deity involved, it was my cross circuiting to B that recovered them.
McCoy: Well, then, thank pitchforks and pointed ears!

Lt. Lesley (Eddie Paskey) dies in this episode, one of the first two victims of the cloud creature. However, he is seen later in the episode outside of Sickbay, wearing a yellow tunic. And the character will appear subsequently in many future episodes.
| When Kirk calls for beam up and detonation, he's holding his communicator in his hand and is crouched over. When he eventually materializes on the ship, he's standing up and the communicator is gone.
| McCoy is seen wearing an engineering badge on his medical tunic in several scenes.

What Changed in the Remastered Version
General improvements cited on the main series page. The creature F/X is cleaned up and a new F/X is used for the CGI scenes of it in space. Both planets receive the expected orbital upgrade. As a nice touch, an enormous crater is visible from orbit, the result of the anti-matter explosion, as the Enterprise leaves orbit.
