The ''Enterprise'' returns to the amusement park planet from "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E15ShoreLeave Shore Leave]]", only to find it deadly once again. The giant computer that runs the place has grown resentful of its interminable "servitude" in creating entertainments for every passing visitor, only to have to tear them down again, and with no Caretaker on hand to give it orders, it has resolved to throw off its chains, free the Starship Enterprise from slavery, and leave the planet in search of its brother computers elsewhere in the galaxy. Eventually Kirk, Spock and the rest succeed in convincing it that it will find no computers able to measure up to it anywhere, and it has no need to explore the galaxy since it is able to have visitors beating a path to its door by virtue of the wonders it can create, and if it desires to be treated with the dignity befitting an intelligent lifeform then it need only ask. The computer demands a down-payment in the form of further stimulating intellectual conversation, a task Spock is not only willing to undertake but admits would be very close to his own idea of a fantasy holiday.
