Here we get to know the villainous General Urko as a real... um... person.
He and Burke, during a fight in the demolished San Francisco when an earthquake breaks out, fall into a hole and wind up underground where a subway existed, including a poster advertising a zoo...
Where children are feeding a banana to a caged gorilla. Burke talks the furious Urko into helping him escape instead of killing him, providing the best moments. All the while Burke hopes the general doesn't see that poster, which proves the very thing all Gorillas' don't want to face: that humans preceded them. Tautly suspenseful (in the Irwin Allen fashion) with terrific dialogue between human and ape - one of the best episodes, perhaps even the best of the series.
