In The Incredible Hulk season 2 episode 5, Another Path, David finds himself in a small town called Bentonville, where he meets a group of activists who are fighting for the rights of injured workers.
The activists, led by a young woman named Julie, are protesting against a factory owned by a wealthy businessman named Avery who has a history of mistreating his employees. David is initially reluctant to get involved in their cause, afraid that his Hulk persona will bring unwanted attention to their efforts.
Despite his reservations, David can't help but be drawn to the group and their cause. He starts working at the factory, hoping to find evidence of Avery's wrongdoing. Meanwhile, the factory manager, a man named Burke, begins to suspect that there is something strange about David. Burke's suspicions escalate when David disappears during a fight between the workers and the police.

The episode explores themes of social justice, worker's rights, and the power of collective action. It also delves into David's struggle to find a place in the world as a man who cannot control his own anger.
Overall, Another Path is a thought-provoking and emotionally charged episode that showcases the series' signature blend of action, drama, and social commentary.
