Summary: Enterprise has returned to Earth for the launch of the Columbia. While Trip prepares for his transfer, Hoshi and Phlox enjoy dinner in San Francisco. Things turn sour, however, when Phlox is kidnapped by mysterious aliens and taken to a Klingon laboratory on the colony world of Qu'Vat. Dr. Antaak and General K'Vagh inform him that a virus is spreading through the Klingon Empire — they need Phlox's help to devise a cure.

Season 4 / Episode 15: - Affliction (1)

Dr. Phlox: This man's been infected.
General K'Vagh: Very observant.
Dr. Phlox: We're being exposed.
Antaak: This patient is at stage one. The virus doesn't become contagious until stage three.
Dr. Phlox: When I asked you to bring me a subject for dissection, I assumed he'd already be dead.
General K'Vagh: He won't be alive much longer.

Dr. Phlox: What do you think you're doing?
Antaak: Euthanising him.
Dr. Phlox: Out of the question. I thought you were committed to saving lives.
Antaak: It is more honorable to give one's life to medical research than to die for no purpose!
Dr. Phlox: That choice is not ours to make.

General K'Vagh: Proceed.

TRIVIA

The virus in this episode leaves its Klingon victims without head ridges, which explains the allusion Worf makes in ST Deep Space Nine's "Trials and Tribble-ations" to a plague that is not discussed "with off-worlders" (which explained the more human-like Klingons of the original series).
