Kirk is struck in the back of the head by an Eretrian dissident, forcing an emergency beam out.
Kirk appears to make a recovery, and proceeds to the bridge in order to activate the defense grid with his own personal password.
As Chekov and Scott try to initialize the grid, Kirk sees a little girl running in the halls.
The Chalcidian minister demands the password to activate the grid, but Spock is forced to stall for time while the captain recovers.
While arguing with Spock in the hallway, Kirk sees another old love: Edith Keeler, a woman he met on Earth in the 1930s, whom he allowed to die in order to restore history.
While Spock and McCoy try to plead with Kirk, he once again has another hallucination: this time of Miramanee, the American Indian princess whom he married during a memory lapse.
The feelings of grief that Kirk has kept buried for so long are coming out now, and it's not actually the women who need closure.
Kirk goes to Scotty's experimental holographic rec room, and recreates the scenes in which he encountered each woman.
Kirk informs her that she had to die in order for history to be restored properly, so that her dreams of a better future would eventually come into fruition.
She then shows him a gift – a piece of beadwork with markings from Miramanee's headband – at which point Kirk realizes she is a vision of his unborn child.
