I find it hard to vote for a "worst" because there's something I like in
each, but I'll have to remember to interpret worst as "the one in which
I found the least to like" or "the most to dislike" and that is

"The Conscience of the King" in which Coridian, the Shakesperean actor, is
shown to be Kodos, ex-murderous tyrant.  My prime reason for chosing this
one is the dreadful job of acting put in by Coridian's daughter, who is
murdering all the people who had seen Kodos alive.  Unfortunately she is
given many more lines than her father who did a commendable job.  As I
said, I did enjoy the plot and also the way Spock and McCoy got down to
the bottom of what was happening, but there is enough going against it to get
my vote, including an incredibly sappy song by Uhura to the lonely Riley.

Incidently, I'm surprised at all the flack that "The Omega Glory" is
catching.  Its not bad although they worked this theme of alternate
destinies/similar circumstances to earth into more than a few episodes,
notably "A Piece of the Action", "Assignment: Earth" and "The City on
the Edge of Forever" perhaps more favorably.
