Synopsis
Due to bad weather, their plane crashes in the wooded mountains.

Highlights
This is one of the most significant episodes of the series because it reveals why Jack McGee is so obsessed with capturing the creature.
The climactic scene when John Doe (Banner) is trying to save McGee when he is trapped under a burning tree. McGee witnesses the metamorphosis into the Hulk for the first time, thus revealing why the Hulk can move from place to place without being seen.
It also marks a point in the series when McGee becomes more sympathetic towards the Hulk when he learns that the creature's instinct is to save life.
