Soon, the Ekosian government began to use the people of the neighboring planet Zeon as scapegoats for the planets troubles, similar to Adolf Hitler's attitude towards Jewish in Europe. The USS Enterprise arrived to discover the fate of Gill just as the "Final Decision" was to be put into effect. The crew found Gill and were able to revive him in time to stop Melakon and his plans.
