37) Wolf in the Fold

While visiting the planet Argelius II for medical leave, Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott is suspected of killing a local woman after being caught red-handed with the murder weapon. During an investigation conducted by planetary officials, two more women are killed, and Scotty is once again the number one suspect. Torn between respecting planetary diplomacy and trying to save his trusted engineer, Captain Kirk does everything in his power to defend Scotty, until a deeper investigation using the Enterprise computers reveals the culprit to be a sinister force of evil that emanated from old Earth before venturing out across the galaxy. "Wolf in the Fold" is an atypical episode of "Star Trek" that remains remarkably effective, thanks to intricate plotting, a gripping pace, moody cinematography, superb performances and a seamless shift in genres and tones. It all comes together in true "Star Trek" fashion, and above all else, "Wolf in the Fold" is a very entertaining episode that showcases the acting talents of James Doohan as Scotty.
