McCoy travels back in time while impaired and changes history to such an extent that the Federation of Planets no longer exists. Kirk and Spock follow him to Depression-era New York City to attempt to fix the damage. While in the past, Kirk falls in love with Edith Keeler (Joan Collins), a soup kitchen operator who dreams of a future much like his own 23rd Century. Spock eventually discovers that McCoy had changed the course of history by saving Keeler from dying in a traffic collision. Much to his personal grief, Kirk allows the crash to take place, restoring history. The episode received widespread critical acclaim and has been frequently stated to be the best episode of the entire Star Trek franchise.
