- We watch as the shuttle approaches the Enterprise from the rear. It performs a series of aerial acrobatics before docking.
- There's only one occupant: Spock. He's a lot better dressed than the last time we saw him.
- Spock immediately asks Decker if he can sit down at his science station. He explains that he's heard about the problem and wants to help.
- Everyone tries to act warm to their old friend, but he doesn't give them anything back. Seems to still be focused on losing those emotions, huh?
- Spock gets to work immediately, repairing the warp drive so the Enterprise can reach the alien cloud before it gets within a day of Earth.
- It's pretty tense as they chug all the way up to Warp 7, but everything goes perfectly.
