The Enterprise is lured to a planet by a repeating distress call. Capt. Pike and the crew find the aged survivors of a crashed spaceship. However, the crash and the survivors turn out to be illusions created by an advanced race of beings, with mysterious motives. They capture Capt. Pike and watch as they put him through false imagined adventures. But, the same woman keeps appearing in all these adventures with him.
Can Capt. Pike learn what the beings’ motives are, and can the Enterprise crew rescue their captain in time?

| Dr. Boyce: Sometimes a man will tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor.
| Dr. Boyce: A man either lives life as it happens to him, meets it head-on and licks it, or he turns his back on it and starts to wither away
| Vina: A person's strongest dreams are about what he can't do.
| The Keeper: The customs and history of your race show a unique hatred of captivity. Even when it's pleasant and benevolent, you prefer death. This makes you too violent and dangerous a species for our needs.
| Vina: When dreams become more important than reality, you give up travel, building, creating; you even forget how to repair the machines left behind by your ancestors. You just sit living and reliving other lives left behind in the thought records.
| Dr. Boyce: Eve? As in Adam?
Captain Pike: As in all ships doctors are dirty old men!
