Written by Nicholas Corea; Produced by Robert Bennett Steinhauer;
Directed by John McPherson
A poor little rich girl is holding a party for her shallow friends on a small island, the celebration being equinox. Aware that 'John Doe' (McGee's name for the Hulk's alter ego) is present on the island he swindles his way into the party with the intention of capturing Doe/Hulk. David, meanwhile, is simply attempting to get away from the whole thing, whilst elsewhere there are about to be several attempts on the spoiled woman's life which inevitably will cause David some problems.
Centred around an embarrassing masquerade party the main character, Diane, is a narcissistic brat of a woman who ends up being rescued by Hulk and sympathised with by David, despite the fact that she has little in way of visible redeeming qualities and even goes so far as to slap David for spurning her advances! It's a pity the wannabe killer wasn't successful on this occasion. One of the problems with this episode is the contrived appearance of Hulk, which in each case serves little purpose except to encourage McGee, who spends the whole story getting closer to Hulk - this in itself is a potential saving grace, and the conversation that he has with a masked David is a strong moment, but otherwise it's a sad episode to view after the fantastic Deathmask.
