...where they visit a planet which paralleled Earth except the Roman Empire never fell, but has otherwise progressed to the same technology level as 20th century Earth. But Kirk & company are mystified by the fact that there was a population of sun worshippers... but all becomes clear at the end when Uhura realizes that they are not sun worshippers, but rather Son worshippers. Ah, so, they are fully civilized after all! Ugh.
