Synopsis[]
Memorable Quotes[]
Jaime: Rudy, is he dead or not?
Rudy: To all external appearances, yes, but this is quite an unusual man, Jaime.
Jaime: Oh, really? Does he drop off like this often?
Darwin: I'm sorry. Did I startle you?
Jaime: Well, you scared the, ahem, out of me.
Jaime: Hey, I'm sorry about the way I grabbed you back there.
Darwin: I'm sorry I didn't have the time to take advantage of it.
Jaime: This fence is ten feet high. It's got barbed wire at the top and it is high voltage.
Darwin: How did you get over it?
Jaime: Well, you can't do it my way.
Payton: Dar started teaching me some meditation techniques. They work.
Jaime: I know. I've been trying those exercises that you taught me, and I feel a lot more relaxed and in touch with myself since I have.
Darwin: Have you been in touch with your stomach lately?
Jaime: Huh?
Darwin: I thought you were going to take me to lunch!
Trivia[]
Cast[]
- Wagner has cited this as her favourite Bionic Woman story. As she recalls in The Bionic Book, after the series was cancelled she was contacted by the family of a young woman who had been raped and badly mutilated, but who credited her survival to following some of the biofeedback mantras and philosophies in this episode.
- Lindsay Wagner's stunt double, Rita Egleston's face is clearly visible when she runs through the tear gas minefield.
Characters[]
- Oscar and Jaime again use the code names "Snow White" and "Dopey." In this spirit, Jaime dubs Darwin "Doc."
- Steve Austin, currently engaged in another mission in another part of Europe, aids Jaime's mission by way of providing intel to her through Oscar.
Props[]
- The red Jaguar and the black Beetle can be seen two separate times: once near the hotel where Jaime and Darwin stop, and once in the background when Karp is driving through the town.
Locations[]
- The cafe in the little square in Mondsee where Steve jumps the fence to follow the mechanic Anton Brandt (see The Six Million Dollar Man, first season, episode "Dr.Wells is missing") is the same place in Halderstadt where Jaime and Darwin are looking for Ivan Kard. We can find the same square as "Place Victor Hugo" in Paris in "The DeJon Caper" (The Bionic Woman, second season).
Gaffes[]
Characters[]
- Lloyd Bochner's character is credited in the on screen supers as "Ivan Kard," but throughout the episode he is called Ivan Karp.
Nitpicks[]
- When Jaime Sommers first encounters Darwin Jones in Rudy Wells' lab, she thinks he's dead, yet during the scene he displays several subtle but visble bodily movements: throat swallow, eyelids, mouth, nostrils.
- After Jaime and Darwin arrive in Halderstadt, numerous "Western" cars can be seen, even though they are in East Germany: a red Jaguar, two VW Beetles (black, blue), a VW Station wagon, and a Mercedes. Although not impossible to see these cars in East Germany, it is unlikely this many would be seen since the Trabant was the "VW" of East Germany.
