The Enterprise retrieves a group of orphaned children on Triacus. It becomes obvious that they are being manipulated by "Gorgon, the Friendly Angel," who turns out to be from a legendary race of space pirates needing innocent victims to help him spread across the galaxy again. Kirk and company must make the children see him for what he truly is.

Epsilon Indi- home of the gorgon's maurding legend

Triacus- dessert class M planet, once home of a civilization, now only legendary

Markus 12-destination of the kids under the control of Gorgon, Starnes have relatives there

Star Base 4- where kids are taken after the crisis

Lacunar Amnesia- Dx by Dr. M for the kids. They aren't grieving normally after the mass suicide of their parents

My version varies from the Sci Fi channels version.

1. I dont have the cave scene, where K and S go into the archeology dig cave, where K experiences an overwhelming anxiety.

2. I have the 'ice cream' scene, where N. Chapel is giving the kids a choice of ice cream.
