Here's another indirect prescription, mutatis mutandis, from Star Trek: TOS (season 3, episode 66): Day of the Dove.

In the context of an encounter between the Enterprise and a Klingon ship, a malevolent entity enters the Enterprise's computer and provokes both sides to aggressive behavior. Spock realizes that the entity feeds off hatred and emotional excitement, and the Enterprise crew and the Klingons make common cause to drive the entity off with laughter.
