When Gale first takes the alien in there is a shot of her taking it's pulse. It's been established on earlier episodes that the aliens have no pulse or heartbeat.

Quotes
Narrator: [Opening Narration] For two days, planes have crossed and re-crossed the Utah wilderness, searching for some clue to the fiery object witnesses swore plunged from the sky. But the planes find nothing and the investigation is called off. Only one man continues the search. For somewhere in the forbidding mountains may be the remains of an alien spacecraft.

Richard Anderson: The Sick Alien In Need Of Help

Richard Anderson plays a sick alien. His saucer has crashed on earth and he seeks the help of a human female who warms to him. Vincent soon appears.

The first half of this Robert Butler directed episode is a bit slow and dull but it picks up in the second half when we see an "invader" like we have never seen an "invader" before. The lighting in the second half of this hour is of motion picture standard and I guess we have Butler to thank for that. Butler really knew his stuff as he directed the outstanding two-part pilot to Batman (1966) and Star Trek's The Cage (1965)

As you can see, season two of this series is going in all sorts of creative directions, but it is too bad we are missing the wonderful music of season one. But the season two music is okay.
