The Man Trap
Stardate: 1513.1 / Airdate: 09.08.66
When the Enterprise's landing party arrives on planet M113 to give a routine medical examination to Robert and Nancy Crater, a nightmare unfolds when several crewmembers die: every trace of salt mysteriously removed from their bodies. Since McCoy was once deeply in love with Nancy, he's especially concerned for her safety. However, the real Nancy Crater is already dead: a being has taken her form and needs salt to survive. Because the alien's supply of salt is gone, it has only one source - the crew of the Enterprise!
