So basically this episode is the pilot with a couple sprinklings of Spock explaining things to people in modern times mixed in. At the ending Spock explains that the reasons he's been trying to go to Talos IV is because the Talosians have the ability to to give Pike the illusion of being made well again. So it basically it turns out Spock isn't a bad guy he's just being an extremely loyal second in command(thirteen years later) at the risk of being a good second in command currently.
But my favorite part of the episode is at the very end when Spock is released and all is well. Spock is leaving to take Pike to the transporter and Kirk stops him and says, "Mr. Spock. When you're finished please come back and see me.I wanna talk to you about this regrettable tendency you've been showing lately toward flagrant emotionalism-"
and Spock cuts him off and goes "I see no reason to insult me,sir. I believe I've been completely logical about the whole affair." And then Spock just take Pike and rolls him away.
It ends with a Talosian showing Kirk what is hinting at is supposed to be old Pike but is actually pilot episode Pike( because it's a clip from the pilot) with Vena living happily ever after.
"Captain Kirk....
Captain Pike has an illusion and you have reality. May you find your way as pleasant."
And may that go the same for you dear reader, "May you find your way as pleasant."
