All visions are put in the heads or in sight of those the vision was
given to.The point of "this episode"?

During Jesus' transfiguration, Moses and Elijah also appeared "with
glory." (Lu 9:30, 31; Mt 17:3; Mr 9:4) It had been foretold that God
would raise up a prophet like Moses, and that promise was fulfilled in
Christ. (De 18:15-19; Ac 3:19-23) There were many similarities between
Moses and Jesus, such as: Babes were killed at their births, though
they themselves were spared (Ex 1:20-2:10; Mt 2:7-23); they both
experienced fasts of 40 days' duration (Ex 24:18; 34:28; De 9:18, 25;
Mt 4:1, 2); both were raised up by God in the interests of true worship
and to effect deliverance (Ex 3:1-10; Ac 7:30-37; 3:19-23); they were
each privileged by God to mediate a covenant with his people (Ex
24:3-8; Heb 8:3-6; 9:15); both were used by God to magnify his name (Ex
9:13-16; Joh 12:28-30; 17:5, 6, 25, 26).

It was also foretold that God would send Elijah the prophet, among
whose works was that of turning persons of Israel to true repentance.
While Jesus was on earth, John the Baptizer did a work of that kind and
served as the Messiah's forerunner, fulfilling Malachi 4:5, 6. (Mt
11:11-15; Lu 1:11-17) But, since the transfiguration occurred after the
death of John the Baptizer, Elijah's appearance in it indicates that
a work of restoration of true worship and vindication of YHWH's name
would be associated with the establishment of God's Kingdom in the
hands of Christ.

During the transfiguration, Jesus, Moses, and Elijah talked about
Christ's "departure [a form of the Greek word e´xo·dos] that he
was destined to fulfill at Jerusalem." (Lu 9:31) This e´xo·dos,
exodus or departure, evidently involved both Christ's death and his
subsequent resurrection to spirit life.
