In the haunted house, the Klingon leader shoots and kills an Andorian ensign in the landing party. Kirk fires back with his phaser on stun. During the ensuing fight the young woman tells McCoy she cannot remember why she was in the house. Kirk asks Scotty to beam them back, but the Klingons have an energy field around the house, jamming the transporter. When the Klingons capture Spock, smash his communicator and drop the energy field to beam back with him to their ship, Scotty beams the others back to the Enterprise.
