I continue my sad little journey from the beginning to the end of the Star Trek universe timeline with Season 2, Episode 9, entitled "Metamorphosis"
The Kirk, Bones, Spock and a terminally ill but comely lady diplomat get kidnapped by a space blob and taken to a planet inhabited by famous space pioneer Zephram Cochrane and his amorphous caretaker he calls The Companion.

"We are one."
"I know that I love her"

War-stopping woman diplomats are a dime-a-dozen in the future...
