- Gillian pulls up to Golden Gate Park and drops off Spock. He transports back to the ship immediately.
- Kirk and Gillian go on a date at a pizza restaurant. Kirk is laying on game so thick we can hardly breathe.
- Game having been laid, Kirk makes Gillian an offer—he can take the whales somewhere they'll never be found by hunters.
- Gillian laughs. How reliable can Kirk be if he has a friend like Spock?
- Suddenly, Kirk's tricorder starts beeping. Gillian assumes that it's a pager.
- Like your dad at a family dinner, Kirk just can't wait and answers the call. Gillian hears Scotty talking all sorts of technical gobbledygook. As usual, subtle.
- Gillian jokingly says that Kirk is from outer space. Kirk responds that no, he's not from outer space—he just works there.
- Laughing, Kirk says that he will tell her the truth. He gives her the whole spiel: he's from the 23rd century, he's seeking to repopulate humpback whales, and so on.
- Gillian is annoyed and disbelieving. It doesn't matter, anyway, she explains. The whales are being shipped out the next day.
- Upon hearing this, Kirk hurriedly grabs the check and leaves the restaurant.
