Galen is shot, so Burke and Virdon take him to a farm where a family can nurse him to health. The old-fashioned ape clan doesn't trust the humans, especially the oldest son, who, to become an actual farmer, must have his pregnant cow give birth to a bull.
Thinking the humans have cursed this, he's the one thing that might put our heroes in jeopardy, and this character gets fitfully annoying - to the astronauts and audience both. Good episode, kind of a LITTLE APE ON THE PRAIRIE with Lonny Chapman and Jacqueline Scott as the farmer mother and father, while Bobby Porter, who portrayed Caesar's son in BATTLE FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES, is the youngest son. The best scenes involve Virdon, a farmer in his "past life," teaching Chapman the real ways of planting soil... for actual results.
