As an aside the 19th episode of STAR TREK SEASON 1 (one) Tomorrow Is Yesterday, the cause of sending the Enterprise back to the 1960's was a "black star" and heading into the Sun to slingshot off of it was the only way back to their present.

The photo of the screenshot from Netflix stating it's the "20th" episode when other sources state it's the 19th.

It seems the first season of Star Trek was already chronicling the shapes of things to come. Genocide, eugenics (The Conscience Of The King - the word eugenics was actually mentioned by Spock) neural brain manipulation (Dagger Of The Mind), trans-humanism (The Menagerie) and genetic engineering with disease in the 9th episode Miri.
