Synopsis for "Door in the Cage"

Spock travels to Talos IV to offer Captain Christopher Pike (now 70 years old, The Menagerie, Part I) the chance of a new life. Upon arrival, Spock meets a young boy who recognizes him. Pike appears and identifies the boy as his son, Philip, and invites Spock to dinner. Pike, Vina, and Philip appear to be reclaiming the surface of Talos IV, cultivating vegetables, and beginning to make a dent in the ecological hell that they live in. Spock is uncertain about the reality of the situation. His offer of medical help causes Pike and Vina to consider their situation, but they decide to stay. When Spock is attacked by a beast, then a Klingon, Number One, and by Pike, he realizes that Philip is real and trying to scare him off with illusions. Pike explains how he and Vina were able to have a son and Spock accepts their decision. He returns to the Enterprise and recommends that Captain Pike be returned to Starfleet's active duty roster.
