PLOT:
With the world believing that he was killed in the lab fire which claimed the life of Elaina Marks, David goes on the run, in an effort to avoid reporter Jack McGee and the authorities. While attempting to access some sophisticated hospital equipment which may hold the key to a cure for his transformations, David stumbles across a plot to murder a young, crippled heiress. Can he keep her from harm and himself from getting discovered by McGee?

MONITOR'S NOTES:
* When the Hulk throws the bear, it's clearly either a mannequin or a guy in a bear suit because the bear's anatomy is very human-like. The bear knocked the wig off of Lou Ferrigno's head, licked off his makeup, and caused a number of other production difficulties.


 * The Hulk was inspired by Frankenstein. In this episode, Hulk meets and old drunk hermit, an encounter reminiscent of the monster's encounter with an old blind man who shows him kindness.
