This is an important episode in the saga of the wrongly accused fugitive. We see all the background about the Kimble's loss of a child and subsequent toll it took on his marriage. There are many backstories about the murder and the trial, shown thru glimpses of Kimble's memory of the events.
He is on the side of the road, darkened by night, when a distraught young woman veers into him. He is injured and transported to the hospital where she stays with him until he wakes up and tells the investigators that he stepped out into the road. The girl is cleared and amazed by the story. When she asked him why he tells her it is his business. Feeling guilty she tells him he can come and stay with her while he recovers.
The two companions are now able to tell their various stories, his of an injustice and her about a broken relationship with a married man. He tells her you have to step off the sidewalk to let all the lonely people pass by, and most are not married.
While he is resting he hears some talking in the other room and walks in on the married man trying to convince the girl (Pamela Tiffin) that he loves her. He presents himself as the big brother and the suitor leaves. From that moment on he is her mentor and protector.
He likes this girl more than he should, and decides to take her to the married man's house so she can see the real story and walk away. The door opens and there he is the host of many friends at a house party. He tries to stop them from entering and here we see, for probably the first time Kimble's temper. He says to the married man, that he will knock him into his wall to wall carpeting if he tries to keep them out.
She discovers in those moments that all was a lie and is able to walk away. Kimble must now leave and we see another moment that is rare. He asks the girl to remember him and that someday when he returns she will be there with her hubby and two kids.
The sweetest moment is when Kimble thanks her for running him down and she says it was all her pleasure. A wonderful sweet story.
