Episodes

"The Rosenbergs"

Mister Spock, while conducting research on Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, finds it curious that historical sources speak of "the Rosenbergs" in an almost collective sense, as if they were two halves of a single creature.

Disaster strikes when rip in time causes the Enterprise to beam Ethel and Julius aboard the Enterprise, fusing their two bodies into a single blob of agonized protoplasm.

Doctor McCoy leaps in to euthanize the blob, but is himself caught in the time rip and thrown back to 1953, where he sees the first Ethel, then Julius, executed by electrocultion. The authorities then force McCoy to sign death certificates for both bodies.
