Spock and Sarek disagree when the Cardassians propose an alliance with the Federation.
Description
- A diplomatic summit of universal proportions sets the stage for another historic note in the annals of the Federation.
- A new race known as the Cardassians seeks Federation status. When Ambassador Sarek opposes their petition, his son, Ambassador Spock, publicly denounces Sarek's opinion. Underlying the strained diplomacy is the tension between father and son regarding Sarek's recent marriage.
- Chaos soon reigns as a contingent of Legarans attending the summit are mysteriously attacked and Sarek's new bride is kidnapped. Spock must set aside his differences with his father to stop the saboteurs and restore peace.

- Aboard Vulcan Space Central. They may be calling it a peace summit, but I have a feeling we're going to see plenty of fireworks.
The Cardassian envoy Lorjek surprised everyone by speaking excellent Federation standard English, but what he said was pretty much what I expected --
-- The usual diplomatic double-talk about peace and cooperation and friendship. And then it was Sarek's turn to open the debate.

Background information
- A.C. Crispin commented: “I thought it was reasonable for Spock, who had just made peace with their hereditary enemies the Klingons, to believe that peace was possible with the Cardassians. But I wanted Sarek to be right, because the Cardassians are creeps. I knew that the two of them had clashed from the episode 'Unification.' Sarek is worried because the Cardassians haven't allowed the Federation to visit their planet, and Spock makes him look stupid by saying they have a fleet the Cardassians could not possibly challenge. It all sounds very logical, but Spock is also angry that his father married a woman who is 25 years old -- young enough to be his great-great-granddaughter."
- Howard Weinstein was brought in as Crispin was unfamiliar with comics and to add action sequences asked for by Paramount. Weinstein commented: "Enter the Wolves is very much a character-driven story, centered on one of the most complex relationships in Star Trek history -- the one between Spock and Sarek. Paramount did want more action injected into the story. And I could see some other obstacles, mostly structural stuff: the script needed to be shortened without gutting the content. It was never my job to alter Ann's story. I had a simple if somewhat delicate goal: to revise her script, trimming it to fit into 44 pages."
