User commentator a_l_i_e_n from Canada does great job of summarizing plot of this episode.
Of interest to me is his comment "The futuristic architecture of the Denovan capital for example is a fine example of the show's use of outdoor locations. The art direction here is vivid, well constructed and definitely a cut above the usually unconvincing indoor sets they so often had to make due with."
In fact the location of this episode's set was the old TRW Defense and Space Systems Group campus in Redondo Beach, CA at Avaiation Blvd and Marine Ave (also adjacent, and just N. of old Redondo HS campus) where I used to work in the late 70s. It was called Space Park or Research Park (address was 1 Space Park, RB, CA) back then. The flight of concrete stairs they come down at beginning of episode was the path to the cafeteria/lecture presentation area. Rest of set (where creatures were stuck to walls and ceiling) was in a typical indoor waiting area in most any of the many architecturally stylish buildings on that campus.
