Kirk's old friend Leighton tricks Kirk into changing his course because he suspects that an actor in a traveling troupe is the infamous Kodos the Executioner, whom they both suffered under twenty years ago. When Leighton is found dead, Kirk takes his suspicions seriously, while falling for Kodos's gorgeous daughter.
It was fun that Riley was featured again, as one of the other survivors of Kodos's massacre, though weird that with 4,000 survivors of the colony, only nine would be alive who saw Kodos, and two would be on the Enterprise. I am glad Spock figured things out, but I though it odd that McCoy only thought that Kirk changed plans for a girl. The best part about the episode was that Shakespeare had made it to the 23rd century, though, which would be brought up again in Star Trek VI. And Uhura sang again. Though it appeared at first to be a simple mystery, there was an intriguing twist or two. Less action, more philosophical. Good episode. This, sadly, was Rand's last appearance.
