TREKCORE > TAS > EPISODES > MUDD'S PASSION > Synopsis OFFICIAL SYNOPSIS The U.S.S. Enterprise receives orders to find Harry Mudd, a Federation outlaw, on the planet Motherlode. Mudd is accused of selling a fake love potion to miners. Upon the U.S.S. Enterprise's arrival, Mudd demonstrates the potion on a woman who Spock discovers to actually be a reptilian illusion. Angered by this the miners begin to attack Mudd, but he is rescued by the U.S.S. Enterprise. Aboard ship, and after convincing Nurse Chapel to try the potion on Spock, Mudd steals a shuttlecraft. When Chapel discovers that the potion doesn't actually work, she becomes bitter and sets out to confront Mudd. During a fight between Mudd and Chapel, special love crystals are broken near an air vent and permeate throughout the ship.
Without warning,
the delayed potion begins to affect Spock. Shortly, the
potion begins to affect the entire crew. Spock becomes so
enamored with Chapel that he will do anything to rescue her.
Kirk accompanies him to find Mudd, but are attacked on the
planet by large rock creatures. Unable to transport to the
vessel because of the potion's affect on the crew, Kirk uses
the crystals to make the creatures become docile and loving.
Eventually the potion wears off and the crew beam everyone
back to the ship, but then the potion's after effects cause
hatred and animosity among the crew. Mudd is placed in the
brig, where he confesses to other con jobs and is once again
sent away for rehabilitation.
