David learns from the news that a previously aggressive race horse has been tamed enough to become a contender through the unique application of native American herbs. He travels to the race track where concoction inventor Thomas Logan is looking after the horse (the eponymous Rainbow's End), and manages to acquire a job there. Logan is initially suspicious of David's enquiries, but after seeing a transformation first hand he agrees to help, despite reservations about administering his natural drug to a human being, a hitherto untested situation.
Refreshingly absent of criminal activity there are only business and family politics to contend with here, the primary problem stemming from a bitter old man who sold off his assets prior to them becoming potentially hugely profitable. There is a sizable devotion to David's exploration of a controlling solution to his problem when he befriends Logan, and for a while it looks as though it may have a positive effect when, after ingesting the cocktail, David's nightmares (this time of his most recent wife, Caroline Fields from the Married season 2 opener) do not invoke the Hulk.

Taking the reins from legendary composer Joseph Harnell, Charles Cassey delivers ominous music which plays a strong role during the mystical sequence where David and Logan are at work on the liquid that provides the cursed man with some hope, and the recall of the aforementioned events of Married are surprisingly well handled. McGee makes a brief appearance, offering another priceless reaction when he realizes the Hulk has shown up in the most unexpected of places.
