In Chinatown, whilst quietly experimenting with chemicals in his temporary abode, David is set up with a 'mail-order bride', against his wishes obviously. Trying to get rid of his new 'wife' a detective arrives, sending the woman into guilty flight. The detective seems to be correctly suspicious of the woman, who is actually more interested in a considerable quantity of hidden gold in David's apartment. She also happens to undertake enforced work for the Chinese mafia, placing David in a muddle of unwanted forces.
The second episode directed by Colvin, this leisurely paced outing is talky in places, particularly one lengthy sequence where the detective explains the events of the first Hulk appearance (his word on nothing is accepted, not just because of the green giant but also because of deeply rooted police corruption). It is notable in that Hulk receives an unusually bloody knife-wound during his first battle, and later David is the victim of a fairly nasty torture via scalding water. This is otherwise a fairly average story from long time series collaborator Jill Sherman.
