- TriviaAround the time of the air date for this episode, a Cleveland newspaper columnist leaked the news that the series was "one of those shows said to be headed for cancellation". David Janssen had secretly asked the producers around that time that his contract not be renewed for another season because of the physical and mental affect the grueling work schedule was having on him for the past four years.
- GoofsThe roughneck who gets rejected for a job is at the head of the line. After he gets rejected, he turns away -- and in the very next shot, which encompasses the entire line (and a considerable distance beyond) he has disappeared completely.

Narrator: [Opening Narration. Viewers see Richard Kimble standing line to obtain employment at a construction site] Along an isolated stretch of farm land in northern Nebraska, a construction company builds the sleek asphalt ribbon of the new super highway. Workers are needed. Richard Kimble takes his turn in line with other nameless faces, seeking the job that will give him a new beginning, a new identity. But a super highway, even one as yet unfinished, can prove a dangerous road for a Fugitive.

Meanwhile Warden is building an expensive motel within the city limits and it is producing aggressive protest from the relatives of the kids who were victims of the collapse. But Warden, who has a heart condition, is obsessed with completing this seemingly unnecessary "motel". Kimble finds out it's not a motel but rather a children's hospital. He's building it to assuage his guilt over the theater collapse. But he doesn't want to reveal its true nature because it would be an admission of guilt. Apparently he wants to finish is before (A) anybody finds out it's true nature), (B) his business goes under, (C) Gould puts an end to his career and (D) he dies.
I wasn't sure that building a children's hospital would make up for the theater collapse or how it could be built while everybody thought it was a motel. And where would the money come to operate it if the business is in the red? And if they find out what it is after his death, isn't that also an admission of guilt?
