Kirk oversees a simulator session of Captain Spock's trainees.

Leonard McCoy visits Kirk on his birthday; seeing Kirk in low spirits due to his age, the doctor advises Kirk to get a new command instead of growing old behind a desk.

The catastrophe killed many of Khan's followers, while others, including his wife, were killed by native parasitic Ceti eels.
