At the start of The Six Million Dollar Man season 3 episode 13, viewers are introduced to Clark Templeton O'Flaherty, a former astronaut who was presumed dead after his spacecraft exploded during a mission in deep space. However, O'Flaherty has miraculously survived and has been living on a deserted planet for six years, forced to fend for himself and sustain his own survival.
Upon his sudden return to Earth, the government deems O'Flaherty a national treasure, able to provide valuable insight into the cosmos that was previously unattainable. However, it soon becomes clear that O'Flaherty is not well; he has been subjected to intense psychological trauma after his extended stay in isolation, rendering him vulnerable to manipulation and suggestions.
Steve Austin (played by Lee Majors) is tasked with escorting O'Flaherty from the hospital to his home, but it quickly becomes a nightmare as the manipulated astronaut begins to wreak havoc in his wake.

In the end, audiences will be left questioning the implications of space travel on the human psyche, as well as the lengths to which governments will go to obtain information. The Six Million Dollar Man season 3 episode 13 is a fascinating, action-packed episode that will keep viewers entertained from beginning to end.
