David's doing a laundry pick-up at a women's prison when three escaped inmates use him as their getaway lorry. Needless to say, David's fugitive status makes this quite a problem, made all the worse by the fact that one of the escapees is about nine months pregnant.
It's hard for me to sort out my thoughts on this episode. There are a lot of good moments, but they all spring out of a plot that is sometimes contrived to the point of being forced. The best example of this is the breakout ringleader Barbara. More than once she threatens to kill an innocent person, and we're given no reason to believe that she's bluffing. She leads the group (including the pregnant woman) right into a military blasting zone (by the way, what the heck is that doing in the middle of the road to the next town?), and shows a general recklessness with her companions' lives. Her about-face at the climax is thus not only unconvincing, but nonsensical. And yet, I can't deny that the final scene with Barbara and Sandra knitting baby clothes for their co-conspirator is endearing.
The action scenes here are superb. The Hulk taking on a rain of boulders is a new one for the series, and well-executed. The showdown with the police and wound-too-tight warden is thrilling and plays out naturally, without undue melodrama.
Ultimately, I liked this episode. While the interactions between David and the three inmates don't logically lead up to the "two godmothers" paradigm on which the episode ends, it makes for good drama, and the whole episode is full of engaging viewing so long as you keep disbelief suspended.
