She used one of the pod plants to infect Spock, breaking down his emotional control, causing him to admit his love for her.The couple spent some blissful time together until Enterprise captain James T. Kirk reversed the spores' hold on Spock by inducing intense anger. Kalomi attempted to rejoin Spock, but when she found him and realized he was no longer under the influence of the spores, she broke down in tears. The intense sadness she felt caused the spores within her body to be destroyed. Kalomi was later evacuated to Starbase 27 with the rest of the colonists.
