The More Things Change... Hulk is merged with Banner once again, and consequently restrained at Gamma Base as he continues to switch from one to the other. Banner tries to emerge from the Hulk's chest and kill himself, while the jade giant is forced to protect him. The Hulk escapes from his restraints and is chased toward Samson's nutrient bath. Ross tries to monkey with the equipment being used to cure Banner of the Hulk and, when Rick intervenes, Ross knocks him into the bath. The Hulk is submerged inside the same tank, and bursts through the side as the original grey version of the Hulk, but quickly reverts to Banner. Bruce, who can no longer feel the Hulk within himself, believes he has been cured. With the crisis over, everyone celebrates what they think is the final end of the Hulk...
