In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode Journey to Babel which aired on November 17, 1967 and occurred on Star Date 3842.3.
The Enterprise transports ambassadors to a conference to discuss the admission of Corridon to the Federation. Sarek is the ambassador from Vulcan, is accompanied by his wife Amanda. To Kirk's surprise, they turn out to be Spock's parents. Also to Kirk's surprise, Sarek is cool towards Spock, apparently because Spock has chosen to devote his life to Starfleet instead of Vulcan science.
The Tellerite ambassador is murdered and Sarek falls under suspician. Meanwhile, Spock detects tritanium emissions from an alien ship's hull after it transmits a message. Sarek requires an open heart operation and Spock provides a blood transfusion.
Kirk is attacked and requires medical attention, so Spock assumes command. Under these circumstances, he says he cannot take time off to give the transfusion to Sarek, and cannot pass command on to anyone else because he is the best qualified person to command the Enterprise. His mother pleads with him, but he refuses.
The Enterprise is then attacked by alien ship while Sarek and Spock are on the operating table, endangering both their lives. Kirk fools the alien ship by turning off shields and internal power, luring the enemy ship in for the kill. When it begins moving in, Kirk hits it with phasers and disables it. However, before he can ask them to surrender, they blow themselves up.
McCoy confines both the injured Kirk and the recovering Spock to sickbay, shushing all protests. "Well, what do you know," he says with a grin, "I finally got the last word."
