- March 23, 1975
In The Six Million Dollar Man season 2 episode 20, titled The Bionic Woman (2), Steve Austin is tasked with a difficult mission. He is sent to track down a former love interest, Jaime Sommers, who has been reported dead after a skydiving accident. However, Steve's bosses at the OSI believe that Jaime may have actually survived and been taken in by a group of foreign agents who have augmented her bionics.
Steve begins his search in Ojai, California, where Jaime lived before her supposed death. There, he meets with Jaime's father, Jim, who confirms that his daughter died in the accident, but also shows Steve a recording of a woman performing incredible feats of strength and agility - feats that could only be accomplished through bionic enhancements.
Determined to get to the bottom of things, Steve sets out to find the woman in the recording. He soon learns that she is indeed Jaime, and that she has been given bionic implants without her knowledge. As a result, she is suffering from severe side effects and is in critical need of medical attention.
Steve takes Jaime to a secret OSI facility where she undergoes surgery to repair her bionics and remove the foreign implants. However, the surgery is complicated by the fact that Jaime's bionics are more advanced than Steve's, making the operation risky and complex.
Despite the odds, the surgery is successful, and Jaime is restored to her former self. But the experience has taken a toll on her, and she is left feeling lost and unsure of who she is now that her bionics have been altered.
Meanwhile, Steve is faced with a difficult decision. His superiors at the OSI want to use Jaime's bionics as a weapon, but Steve is hesitant to subject her to that kind of danger. He tries to talk to Jaime about it, hoping to convince her to refuse the OSI's offer and live a normal life. But Jaime is conflicted, torn between her loyalty to Steve and her desire to do what is right.
In the end, Steve and Jaime team up to take on the foreign agents who implanted her bionics, proving that together they are an unstoppable force. But the experience leaves both of them changed, and they must come to terms with the fact that their lives will never be the same.
