    It's strange that a new show would go right to a two-parter for its 4th and 5th episodes. Normally you want self-contained episode until you've developed a loyal following that will have seen the first episode and will be sure to turn in for the second one. Here Kimble is in Santa Barbara, California, working for a sail maker. He also apparently has some knowledge of boats from his former life. He's fallen for his boss's daughter, Karen, (Susan Oliver), but earned the enmity of another worker, Eric, (Robert Duvall) who also has his eyes on Karen. Kimble is tired of running, (with 115 episodes to go) and would like to settle down. But then he hears that a one-armed man has been arrested in Los Angeles. So has Gerard, who is waiting for him to show up there.

    Kimble's fatigue and love for Karen makes the ending, where he can't bring himself to abandon the injured Gerard and thus gives up his potential life with her, particularly poignant. This is not the first appearance of Bill Raisch as the one-armed man as the prisoner in LA is another one-armed man played by Harry Bartell. Ed Robertson's book on the series says that producer Quin Martin preferred the one-armed man to be a more elusive concept, one who may or may not exist.

    This is the second episode in a two-part story. When the last episode ended, Gerard almost catches Kimble (David Janssen) and Kimble makes his escape. His girlfriend, Karen (Susan Oliver) now knows that the man she loves is running from the law and he explains the entire story of his life to her. Despite this, she is determined to stick with him--even if it means leaving her life and spending life on the run with him.

    The pair come up with a plan to make their escape since they know that Gerard (Barry Morse) is in the area and looking for Kimble. During a local sailboat race, they veer off into a cloud bank and disappear. But, as usual, Gerard is close behind and gives chase. And during that chase, Gerard proves he's nuts...and nearly dies in the process.

    This is a good, fitting finale for the story. Of course, you know by the very end that regardless, Kimble WILL be on his own again, wandering the country. But how they got there was interesting and the show well written. Well worth seeing.

    Kimble and Karen forge a stronger romantic relationship. Unfortunately, a blunder by Kimble in Los Angeles causes Lieutenant Gerard to investigate sailmakers.

    Despite Karen's pleas, Eric fails to heed the instructions of Lars to drop his opposition to Kimble.

    When Gerard shows up, Kimble and Karen make a plan to get away by boat to start a new life together, under circumstances that will make it appear that both died in rough seas. Eric is horrified when he learns that his comments to Gerard, intended only to hurt Kimble, might get Karen sent to prison. The reckless pursuit of Kimble by Gerard poses danger to all of them.

    Ultimately, Kimble's good character, the stormy seas, and the pursuit by Gerard place in jeopardy his plans for a happy life with Karen.
