* ShortLivedOrganism: Sarah has a flower with her, plucked from Capella 4, with a lifespan of only a few hours; it was just a seedling when taken aboard but is now withering. When the Enterprise finds itself dragged into an alternate dimension, the crew discovers that time runs backwards when Sarah's flower reverts to full bloom again.

The ''Enterprise'' is playing host to Commodore Robert April, the first commanding officer of the ship, and his wife, Sarah, before the former is set to retire. Although the elderly Starfleet Officer has had a lot of adventures under his belt, he's a bit disappointed that it's all coming to an end. But one last adventure is in store when the crew catches a ship traveling at the unprecedented speed of Warp 36 (and backwards no less!), and wind up being pulled into a parallel universe while trying to stop it. Now Kirk and his crew find themselves in an alternate universe where time flows backwards, and have to escape from this reality before they all literally age out of existence!

* StatusQuoIsGod: Obviously ''Star Trek'' can't have its characters run the flagship of Starfleet as babies, so they're restored to their proper ages using the transporter. Robert and Sarah April also return themselves to their original ages, despite the latter's suggestion that they could stay young, because the former has no regrets about what he did with his life, and wouldn't change a thing about it.
