With his son dead, Kirk agrees to hand over the Enterprise but not before he sets the ship's self-destruct. The Klingons choose Saavik, but David interferes, saving Spock and Saavik but dying in the process. Kruge gains the upper hand when he threatens to kill one of the three hostages on the planet's surface. After a game of cat-and-cloaked-mouse, it battles the Bird-of-Prey to a standstill. Saavik helps him through the worst of it, but the trio is soon captured by Kruge and his away team. Spock's rapid aging leads him into pon farr, a dangerous time for Vulcan males in their, ahem, sexual maturity. Genesis begins to self-destruct, and David admits to Saavik that he used protomatter in the matrix to solve certain problems (i.e. Kruge and his away team teleport to the planet below. It's all thanks to…science? They report this to the USS Grissom, but before Captain Esteban can contact Starfleet with the news, Kruge's Bird-of-Prey appears and blows them out of the sky. The USS Excelsior gives chase, but Scotty was also nice enough to sabotage the ship's transwarp drive.Ĭhecking in on Genesis, David and Saavik discover a young Vulcan boy on the planet and surmise it's Spock…or, at least, his newly minted body. Sorry, sorry: he aims to commandeer the Enterprise.Īfter breaking McCoy out of Starfleet jail, Kirk and his crew commandeer the Enterprise, which Scotty was nice enough to reprogram for automated use. Rather than point out how silly that reasoning is-like how there's already a ship there or that it's a request from the Vulcan ambassador-Kirk just decides to steal the Enterprise. Kirk visits Morrow and asks to borrow the keys to the Enterprise, but Morrow says "no" because Genesis has become a galactic controversy. Sarek tasks Kirk with retrieving his son's body and katra. After a cozy mind-meld session and a peek at the Enterprise's security footage, Kirk and Sarek discover that Spock entrusted McCoy with his katra. Kirk says Spock made no such request of him. He demands to know why the admiral did not bring Spock's katra, his soul, to Vulcan. We cut back to Earth and find that Spock's father, Sarek, has visited Kirk. Also, a Klingon named Kruge steals the information on Genesis, believing it would make a killer weapon-mostly because it absolutely would. They beam down to the planet to investigate. David (Kirk's son) and the Vulcan Saavik are investigating the Genesis planet when they discover an unknown life form. Meanwhile, other happenings are happening in the universe. He informs them that the Enterprise is to be decommissioned. This is actually totally out of character for this dude.)Īfter a medic calms McCoy down, the ship docks, and Admiral Morrow comes aboard to debrief the crew. McCoy acting weird, rambling on about going home to Vulcan. (Spock's a good Vulcan like that.)Īs the Enterprise enters Spacedock, someone breaks into Spock's quarters. The Enterprise has finished its repairs from the battle with the USS Reliant and is heading to Earth, but the optimism Kirk felt in the light of the Genesis planet has been replaced with a sense of lose at the absence of Spock, who sacrificed himself to save the ship. The Search for Spock begins where The Wrath of Khan ended…but if you're a little hazy on the details, don't worry Kirk's captain's log fills us in right away.
