Missing Three's Company subplot
There is a scene in the movie when Kirk had his crew over for drinks, toasting to their departed friend Spock. When someone showed up at the door, Kirk automatically assumed that it was Scotty, who must have been running late. It was Sarek instead. I wonder if Scotty showed up when the mind meld was going on by the fireplace and jumped to the wrong conclusion that Kirk and Sarek were having an affair.
