"The Enterprise Incident" (season three, episode two; production code: 059; 27 September 1968): Wikipedia-link.
Commentary: Romulans! "The Enterprise Incident" is the first really good episode of season three & marks the second & final appearance of the Romulans in The Original Series, after their introduction in "Balance of Terror" (season one, episode fourteen). The Romulan Bird-of-Prey warship was seen again in "The Deadly Years" (season two, episode twelve), but no Romulans themselves; sadly, in "The Enterprise Incident," the Bird-of-Prey is nowhere to be seen & the Romulans are using the new Klingon battlecruiser introduced in "Elaan of Troyius."
"The Enterprise Incident" is an espionage story, full of deceptions & betrayals, setting the pattern for many T.N.G.-era Romulan stories.
