Doc visits Fairgreen, Indiana, where it all started. He reads that the in-laws are broke and apparently don't know about daughter Helen's $5000 bank account. Odd that Kimble is known as Richard to the Waverleys but as Dick to everyone else. He wears dark glasses while in Fairgreen but they don't fool anyone, as the police seem to be expecting him and spot him immediately. Only luck and his cat like ability to jump from a moving vehicle and land on his feet, running in full stride, enable him to escape, if only for the moment. He gets to the Waverley house, where youngest daughter Terri is overjoyed to see him. She's always had a crush on him, even though she's now engaged to a guy named Phil, of all names. Dad Ed wants Dick to leave before his wife returns home, as she hates him with a passion and has about lost her mind. So he's in a tight spot, but he put himself there. Terri and Dick find the info about the bank account, but then Dick comes face to face with the old lady. She is about to tell the cops, but Terri says she never asked her for anything before, just don't turn him in. Mother and daughter, who have apparently never been close, instantly bond. Dick just has a way of bringing people together. The cops, led by veteran heavy Richard Devon, search the house but somehow fail to find Dick. Curious that Gerard chooses to stay In Stafford rather than make the short trip to Fairgreen. Usually he is obsessed with having to be the one who brings Kimble in. Terri wants to be with "Richard" and says she loves him and will go to another city and wait for him. Dick knows he can't encourage her, so he says she shouldn't flatter herself into thinking he would want to be with her. She breaks down and then embraces Phil when he comes in, so it looks like there are wedding bells in her future. The old lady stops short of embracing Dick, but her bitterness is gone, along with Richard Kimble.....fugitive.
