Is this the end of Angry Vine Woman? So Chapel rescues her friend, her team, and La'An Noonien-Singh and they are then rescued by Spock and Anime drawing Scotty. Meanwhile in space the crew work to solve the mystery of the Arken and work toward a solution for the angry vine woman, all of which tie up nicely.
And good thing too, because this is the type of story that would get old if it got dragged out. And the solution and how they worked it all out is classic Star Trek, and then how it wrapped up with the plant creature by working out a deal instead of running in with phaser firing and blowing everything up, was also very good.
Again this would’ve been better as a 5 part season 3 story instead of the seasons more weaker episodes.
