Stardate 3025.3: During the investigation of an apparently uninhabited planet as a possible shore leave destination McCoy speaks of "Alice in Wonderland". Briefly later he sees a big talking rabbit, who is followed by a little girl. Kirk beams down on McCoy's request and runs into Finnegan, his old rival from Starfleet Academy, as well as Ruth, his old love. Other members of the landing party too encounter people and things that they were just thinking of. Eventually McCoy is killed by a knight with a lance and Ensign Teller dies in an aircraft attack. Kirk gathers the landing party around him, ordering them to stand still and stop imagining things that would come true. The caretaker of the place appears and explains that the whole planet is there for their enjoyment. McCoy and Teller are alive and well.
