In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Tholian, which aired on November 15, 1968, and occurred on Star Date 3842.3.
When the Enterprise attempts to ascertain the fate of the U.S.S. Defiant, which vanished 3 weeks ago, Spock reports strange sensor readings. They visually detect the Defiant, but sensors indicate it is not there. A landing party beams aboard, and when McCoy tries to touch one of the dead crew members, his hand passes right through him, revealing that the Defiant is starting to disintegrate. They all beam back to save Captain Kirk.
The weakening of the surrounding space fabric traps Kirk and the ship in a parallel universe. The appearance of two hostile Tholian ships disrupts the spatial interphase, which would have allowed Kirk to reenter his universe. Spock convinces the Tholians to wait until the interphase occurs, but the Enterprise cannot beam Kirk aboard. The Tholians then fire and damage the Enterprise.
In her cabin, Uhura sees a vision of Captain Kirk and reports to McCoy that he is alive. McCoy believes Uhura is going mad and confines her to sickbay. Scott then sees the same vision and rushes to the bridge, where everyone, including Spock, also sees it. The Enterprise can hold Kirk in the transporter beam at the next interphase and escape from the completed Tholian web by using the ship’s power to disrupt space-time.
