50: Falling Angels (3.16)

1980; 46 minutes
Written by Eric Kaldor & D K Krzemien; Produced by Robert Bennett Steinhauer & Jeff Freilich
Directed by Barry Crane

At an orphanage some of the girls are being groomed for a life of crime by the matriarch and her boyfriend.  David obtains a temporary job there and, once he realises that the girls are heading down a path towards eventual prison, he tries to persuade them to change direction in life.

Aside from one well executed sequence whereby the speech presented by Rita on the benefits of the education they're providing at the orphanage is intercut with the girls putting their thieving skills into use, Falling Angels is a fairly mundane episode with confused portrayal of Hulk's intelligence (later in the episode he ventures from one place to another, quite some distance away, in order to apprehend a criminal).
