Synopsis:
The Challengers of the Unknown track a fugitive to the Azul Caverns. During the pursuit, Rocky falls into a stream polluted by a strange chemical. Later that night, Rocky grows into a mindless giant. After a few minutes of destruction, he reverts back to normal. Over the next few nights, the transformations continue, growing worse each time.

Krager finds a way to control Rocky while he is a giant using radio signals. The other Challengers break Krager's control. Then Prof suggests giving Rocky a full blood transfusion to remove his infected blood. The Challs then dispose of a meteor from the stream that infected their teammate.
