-->'''Kirk''': Besides, he'll be sure to take advantage when he sees that we've carelessly left our shuttle bay door open.

* WouldRatherSuffer: After another fight with Spock, [=McCoy=] tells Kirk that if he lands in jail again, Kirk should leave him there rather than sending Spock to effect another jailbreak.

The ''Enterprise'' must find out the truth about an ancient plague when [=McCoy=] is accused of starting it, which gets complicated when they are infected.

* SelfDestructMechanism: As per General Order Six, the ''Enterprise'' will self-destruct in twenty-four hours if the entire crew dies.

!!This episode contains examples of the following tropes:

* DeterminedDoctor: [=McCoy=] immediately tells Spock to take him back to the ''Enterprise'' to find a cure for the plague despite the high odds against him (only he and Spock are still fully capable).

* ClearTheirName: [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] is accused of being responsible for a plague that wiped out much of a planet. [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] {{Angst}}s about the possibility that it is unintentionally [[ItsAllMyFault his fault]]. It's the rest of the ''Enterprise'' crew who are adamant that he is completely innocent and spend most of the episode searching for proof.
