In this episode we see for the first time the city that sets off a story arc throughout Season 3. SciFi Australia recently did a series of interviews with the Sanctuary cast and Producers and below I have extracted sections that pertain to the city. This particular interview I am told is geo coded so some people may not be able to access it, however I have transcribed the entire interview and you can read it via this link.
SciFi Australia Season 3 Q&A
excerpts:
Martin Wood: On the trailer that has been cut together and everyone is looking at there's a shot of the team standing in the library and this city builds around them ah it started out as a small idea and then turned into this massive thing that became all encompassing for the season.
Amanda Tapping: What it represents for The Sanctuary is a journey and a quest to find it and a quest to ultimately kind of save it. But it becomes our quest to find this miraculous place and the fact that my father, which has also been teased up, has sent it um to me then the message is quite huge so... it's our quest, it becomes the quest.
Ryan Robbins: It is unlike any place anyone has ever seen. It's this amazing place with this incredible civilisation that is not of this world but still of this world. And I think that the fans are going to get a kick out of it, especially because we meet such cool characters there. And for conspiracy theorists, and I know there are conspiracy theorists that watch this show, and I know how much we like to take myth and legend and conspiracy and kind of turn it on it's head but sometimes we take myth and legend and conspiracy and are surprisingly accurate. And we get to play with it, the great thing about conspiracy is nobody knows for sure but we can pretend to know for sure.
Martin Wood: Season 3 one of the things that we do more than we have in the past is that we arc. Which means that we go from show to show ah there is a thread that will go through them. In Season 1 and 2 we tended to do a little more of the stand alone episodes so you could always pick it up and take a look at it which is helpful because you're bringing new viewers in all the time. Season 3 we have viewers, ah billions of them, there are billions of viewers watching this show now, and so we wanted to talk to those people specifically by arcing some of our shows and giving ourselves a long thread that we will use. The city that you see is the key to that thread and that's all I can tell you. Although if you think that was cool wait until the next time you see it and then the time after that and then like four times after that, it just keeps getting exponentially bigger and better.

This episode is a very strong follow up to last week’s season premiere and sees the team encounter a bizarre pair of beings. Are they aliens or high tech abnormals? Unfortunately, our heroes are unable to determine their origins. However, Magnus and crew are able to unlock a puzzle that, presumably, is followed through over the next few episodes, if not the rest of the season.

Interviewer: So Season 3? Season 2 is here (uses hand to show a level) how much higher is Season 3?
Damian: We make a huge discovery at the end of episode 2 which changes the whole course of the season. It changes what we know about where monsters come from, it changes what we know of the history of the world and it's something that Helen Magnus is discovering in real time [muffled].

Fan Account of Special Trailer Shown At The Sanctuary Experience Convention 2010
Will is brought back home alive, but that doesn't mean the visions stop. It appears that he's falling asleep at random moments - on the couch in Magnus' office to the black van on a mission. In one scene, when Will sees Magnus' father in his vision/dream, he wakes up to find Kate, Magnus, and Henry all standing above the couch looking concerned. In the scene where he falls asleep in the van, he wakes up to a giant salamander abnormal attacking him.
