Plot; When Scotty is accused of murder while on shore leave, it's up to Kirk to prove his innocence.
This... this is a weird one. What makes it so weird is its "pleasure planet" setting, where Kirk, Bones and Scotty seem to be there to set their phasers on the stunning and totally submissive females. It quickly becomes a murder mystery, but the suspect is Scotty, so the outcome is never in doubt. Then there's a third act injection of silly mumbo jumbo that just ramps this already off-putting episode up to warp(ed) factor 10. - 5/10 - We get not one, not two, but three of Bones' famous "S/he's dead, Jim."! - The hiding in plain sight baddie is played by John Fiedler, best known as the voice of Piglet in the Winnie the Pooh cartoons. Late in the episode, when he's in the midst of being possessed by an evil entity, his wailing sounds like Piglet being roasted alive.

- After the murder of three females, the episode ends on a humorous note as Kirk sets off to get some r&r with the lovely ladies of the planet. I'm not exactly Andrea Dworkin, but that even offends my sensibilities.
