THE FUGITIVE 12/28/65 “When the Wind Blows”
Kimble takes refuge at a small hotel run by a widow with a young, overly-sensitive son who likes to hide in a cave he found. Kimble befriends the boy and treats him with respect, earning his respect. The
widow befriends Kimble because of this and hides him out when the typically incompetent local constabulary come calling.
It's a good episode because it shows the compassion that makes Kimble such a compelling character. He recognizes that Kenny is more unique than troubled. "The things you worry about are the things that make him two feet taller than the rest. He's an original and that's rare"
In a sense, both he and the child are fugitives- Kimble from the law and the boy from the world itself. They're also both originals.
