Wandering along the roadside David hitches up with a man who is on the run from pesky town's people. He takes the traveller back to a camp where he and his friend are living free of the system. There's also a woman there with a baby called Danny. David stays for the night but departs the next morning as he realises all is not well within the little group: the woman, Rachel, is discontent and she heads off on the same morning. One of the guys, frustrated that Rachel has spurned his advances, assumes the two of them have left together, thus he goes out looking to track them down, which lands David in a usual heap of trouble.
Taking place in the middle of nowhere with very few characters this one feels like it was made on a very small budget. Robin Dearden (who also played Joleen in Brain Child) is quite good as the distraught mother Rachel but this episode otherwise feels very by-the-numbers, boring to watch and of little value to the series as a whole. It's difficult as a viewer not to feel sorry for the baby Danny ('actor' uncredited), who spends much of the episode crying, screaming, and generally in distress.
