TOS: The Altered Woman

The crew find a new planet that their sensors tell them was not detected a week ago and so go to see what these new signals are, and meet strange alien beings that are more like walls than living beings. These wall like aliens present to them that they have met a human explorer before, one older than Starfleet. There, they present a woman, one of the first deep space explorers of her era. The woman is an immortal being more attuned with the aliens, but quickly finds herself falling for the charms of, all people, Scotty because he is the only one who understands the wall alien tech. Scotty is enamored with the woman... but finds her lack of care for living beings disturbing and soon, she reveals how she is immortal, and how the wall aliens can live as they are. They are cybernetic beings, and she plans to turn the Enterprise into cyborgs to spread the will of the wall aliens who, because they cannot escape the confines of the walls, now wish to turn everyone to their path. With Kirk and Spock the first victims, it's up to Scotty to lead the crew to fight the wall aliens, and maybe kill a woman he has fallen for, who is confused and even scared that the first man she ever loved is her 'enemy.'
So an episode where we see the crew literally talking to a wall? Well I can honestly say it's original and fits well with TOS too
The idea is the aliens are like, the walls themselves and the walls would look all techno and unique and like, WALLS OF THE FUTURE, but yes. Hence the human character they have who is their harbinger and also, victim. It's actually close to my idea for how to have done Gary 7 where he would have been an antagonist who, while made superhuman by the aliens who took the humans many years ago, DETESTS ALL ALIENS, and so wants to eradicate them... but I wanted to go with episodes I can see happening in season 4. Hence I haven't brought in my 'Uhura's mom is a famous admiral and she and Uhura bond again when she reveals she remarried and has a daughter who is against Starfleet'... cause no WAY was 60's America ready to bring in a black female admiral who Kirk and everyone would call sir.
Well thank you for remembering this is still based in 1969-1970. With it being TOS you don't really have to explain why they are walls either. They are just what they are.
I got nothing to say here.

Star Trek, 25th Anniversary by Interplay is TOS Season 4 to me.

Judgment Rites is Season 5.
