All eyes on Mr. Spock. Nimroy is a great actor and Spock an intriguing character. It always nice to learn more of the Vulcans. And this is a particular intriguing chapter of the mysterious Vulcan race. Similar topics have been discussed in the second generation shows: e.g. Voyager's Blood Fever, ENT'S Bounty and in Voyager's Body and Soul (the latter is still one of the comedic highlights of the franchise). It's nice that TOS' writers have realized that there's more to the Vulcan race than just their emotionless composure and using him as a prop for the final "let's make fun of the guy with the pointy ears scene" (although they won't break with this tradition will they?). This episode sets the tone of such Vulcan stories: In a nutshell: Vulcan sex and biology is strange, their rituals are inexplicable and the almost impenetrable Vulcan veneer of logic hides that they are savages deep with in.

Good start to season 2.
PS: Nice cleavage window.
