What also elevates the strength of this episode is that it's the first since LPOTG to cast a big shadow over the rest of the series. In an earlier age, a strong episode like this in a TV series would never be dealt with again in subsequent weeks, but LL introduced a new and vital permanent character to the cast in Sheba, and Commander Cain was still referred to in WOTG and HOG. Think of how in a "Star Trek" an important guest character in a story would disappear and never be seen again by contrast.
