Synopsis

As the Hulk and Banner try to come to terms with Banner's return (it has been three months since the last transformation), Marlo tries to uncover the mystery of her new friend, Bruce, and her boyfriend, Joe Fixit. Berengetti attends a meeting held by the Maggia for all of the Vegas casino owners and the mob informs them that they are taking over, by force if necessary. The Hulk arrives and takes on twelve of the Maggia's Persuaders with heavy betting being laid down on the fight. The Hulk takes down the Persuaders and Berengetti cleans up on the wagers.
