During the premiere episode of the second season, "Amok Time", Spock begins to undergo [[pon farr]], the Vulcan blood fever, and must undergo a ritual mating in the next eight days or die. Kirk disobeys Starfleet orders and takes the ''Enterprise'' to the planet Vulcan so that Spock can undergo the mating ritual. When they arrive, he is reunited with T'Pring ([[Arlene Martel]]). She rather wishes to be with Stonn ([[Lawrence Montaigne]]), a full-blooded Vulcan. She demands the ritual kal-if-fee fight instead, and selects Kirk as her champion, who unknowingly agrees to a fight to the death with Spock. McCoy persuades [[T'Pau (Star Trek)|T'Pau]] ([[Celia Lovsky]]) to let him inject Kirk with something to alleviate the issues with Vulcan's thinner atmosphere and make the fight fair. The fight begins, and Spock gains the upper hand, garroting Kirk and killing him. McCoy orders an emergency transport directly to [[sickbay]], while Spock is told by T'Pring that it was all a game of logic which would let her be with Stonn no matter the outcome. No longer feeling the effects of the pon farr, Spock returns to the ''Enterprise'' where he discovers that McCoy had injected Kirk with a paralyzing agent which merely simulated death and that the Captain was still alive.<ref name="amoktime" />[[File:Spock and parents 1968.jpg|thumb|Spock with his parents, [[Sarek]] and Amanda|upright=1.0]]Over the course of the encounter with the ''Nomad'' [[space probe]] in "[[The Changeling (Star Trek: The Original Series)|The Changeling]]", Spock undertakes a mind meld with the machine.

Sporting a beard, he grows suspicious of the activities of the suddenly changed personnel and under Starfleet orders, attempts to kill Kirk. Mirror-Spock is knocked unconscious, and is treated by McCoy while the others head to the transporter to attempt to return to their universe. Spock awakes and mind melds with McCoy to discover why Kirk did not have him killed. Discovering what took place, he agrees to help them return and as he mans the transporter controls, Kirk implores him to take control and save not only the ship but his Terran Empire from implosion at the hands of tyrants. The switch is once again successful, and the crew members return to their relevant universes.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Mirror, Mirror |series=Star Trek: The Original Series |first=Jerome|last=Bixby|network=NBC |date=October 6, 1967|season=2 |number=4 }}</ref>
