Stardate 5031.3: As ordered by an ostensibly irrational Kirk, the Enterprise enters Romulan space and is instantly surrounded by three Romulan warships. When Kirk and Spock beam over to the lead ship, Spock accuses Kirk of acting without orders and for personal reasons, whereby the Vulcan officer gains the trust of the Romulan commander. The "insane" Kirk attacks Spock, who then "kills" his captain with the "Vulcan death grip". The "dead" Kirk is beamed back to the Enterprise, but returns in Romulan disguise to steal their cloaking device, which has been the true goal of his mission all along. When Spock is being beamed back again, the Romulan commander is with him and is welcomed by Kirk as a "guest". Scotty manages to make the device work on the Enterprise, and the Federation ship escapes the Romulan pursuers.
