Kirk orders Spock to create a viable weapon to use against the Companion. Cochrane agrees to cooperate, admitting that "[[WhoWantsToLiveForever immortality consists largely of boredom]]". Kirk figures that the Companion might be able to cure Hedford, so he gets Cochrane to ask it. It turns out Cochrane and the Companion communicate with each other using some kind of nonverbal symbiosis. Unfortunately, the Companion can't do anything to help Hedford. Yes, rejuvenating a near-death 87-year-old man into a thirties-looking guy is a piece of cake for this Companion thing, but it's out of the question for it to cure the same disease which [=McCoy=] says he could cure in a jiffy if he only had the equipment in Sickbay. Meanwhile, Spock determines that the Companion is mostly electricity, so he creates a device to scramble it. Cochrane fears this may kill the Companion, but he reluctantly goes along with it, though not without throwing a guilt trip at Kirk. However, the device only succeeds in making the Companion mad. [=McCoy=] does [[TheMcCoy his thing]] by suggesting that they try to reason with the entity instead and Kirk tells Spock to modify a UniversalTranslator. Meanwhile, the ''Enterprise'' reaches the point where the shuttlecraft was grabbed by the Companion and Scotty's solution appears to be flying in a random direction which he for some reason supposes was the course they were pulled off on. Back on the planet, Kirk talks to the Companion with the universal translator. When the translator gives the Companion a woman's voice, Kirk realizes it must be a female. It's immediately presumed that this means the Companion is in love with Cochrane as apparently a male human and his female entity couldn't possibly be PlatonicLifePartners. So what would that say if [[HoYay the Companion had been male]]? Kirk tells the Companion that they need to leave or one of them will die, but she says they need to stay to keep her dear Zefram company and refuses to hear of any holes in this plan.
