An amnesiac Steve Austin becomes frightened from his own bionic abilities.
Summary
Steve, suffering from amnesia following a plane crash in the mountains, is found on a busy road by psychologist Angie Walker, who is in charge of an experimental convalescence home for mental patients. Leading the local residents against Angie and the hospital is grocer Horace Milsner, who tries to have her arrested on trumped up charges, but fails. Milsner then recruits others sympathetic to his cause and, armed with axe handles, they confront Angie and Steve with an ultimatum to leave.

Trivia

Gaffes
Continuity
- Through flashback, this episode establishes the title sequence's depiction of Steve's crash as canonical. However, the title sequence is significantly at variance with the crash as depicted in the original telefilm.
- When Steve Austin remembers Oscar Goldman in flashback, we see footage from the next episode to be broadcast, The Peeping Blonde.
