Title : The Education of Jaime Sommers
Bionic Woman - The Education of Jaime Sommers - Episode Guide
In this Bionic Woman episode, Jaime does undercover at a college to investigate shady dealings. Can't say it was the most original story line ever penned. No Katee Sackhoff, either.
The episode began with a wounded soldier waking up in an army hospital. He then picks up the rifle belonging to his victim and begins shooting everyone in the hospital. Didn't bat an eye as he did it, either.
We cut to Jaime and her friends sitting around, having gun. They tease Jamie about the pressure she seems to be under, asking if there's a new man in her life. Come on, it's just bionics, people. A TV report of the aforementioned scene then comes on the screen, and, of course, Jaime must now go to work.
At the Berkut Group, Jonas briefs Jamie and Antonio. The wounded soldier wasn't the first of his kind: several released POWs have done the same thing. Each one of them had a personality altering implant in them (ostensibly used to treat depression and neurological issues). Jamie and Antonio are sent out on assignment. Antonio is going to track down the buyer, while Jamie is going to go to the college where the inventor of the implants teaches. Oh, and her cover is being an English transfer student. British accent time for Michelle Ryan. Cute touch.
Before she embarks, Nathan tries to teach Jamie what she'll need to know to fake being a neurology student - and it doesn't go well.
At the school, it doesn't take long for her impersonation of a student to go downhill. In Jaime's first class with Professor Samuels, her cell phone goes off in class. The lecture is disrupted, and the Professor demands that she answer a question about the lecture topic he was covering. Jamie would have had her cover completely blown, but the TA standing near her slips her the answer.
Meanwhile, Antonio and Ruth are going through a list of the potential buyers. When Ruth settles on a suspect, Antonio complains that she's doing racial profiling. Ruth counters "Or brilliant detective work." Seriously? Using this as an angle?
Back at college, Jaime is dealing with a dreadful lab report and a bizarre roommate. The roomie is brilliant at science, but is having trouble with a paper about James Joyce. In other words, she's the exact opposite of Jamie. So what do they do? Trade homework, of course.
The roommate invites Jamie to a party where our Bionic Woman encounters the TA from class, Tom. Tom and Jamie flirt a lot, while Nathan spies on Jamie through her bionics. Awkward alert! We think someone has a crush on the show's heroine.
Nathan guides Jamie to the lab where Professor Samuels keeps his research.
Jamie breaks into the lab and finds the information about the doctor's work. But Professor Samuels catches her in the act and assumes she's an industrial spy of some sort. Jamie tries to cover with a story about trying to sneak in to find a way back into his good graces after the disruption of the class. Samuels is incredulous, but then Tom comes to the rescue, corroborating her story. After they leave the lab Tom asks what Jamie was actually doing in there. She tells him she was looking for the lecture notes. Tom tells her that he'll help her with those if she'll have dinner with him.
This guy is smooth.
Antonio is staking out the buyer. He's bored to death as he watches the buyer and his date eat. However, before he leaves the buyer gets a call (which Antonio eavesdrops on) that confirms that he is, in fact, the right person for Pope to be tracking.
Meanwhile, Professor Samuels is demonstrating the effectiveness of the implants. Jamie watches as a subject who previously had serious neurological issues is suddenly able to juggle when that signal is sent to his implant. They also show that the implant can control his motor functions, while also affecting his tolerance for pain.
For obvious reasons, Jamie is freaked out by the chip, namely how it might be used for mind-control. Tom, suspiciously, doesn't want to discuss work or the implant, as he and Jaime later begin to kiss when Antonio shows up, masquerading as Jamie's "Uncle Tony." Tom leaves, at which point Antonio tells Jamie that Tom may be the person they're looking for. Tom's cover story has him possessing a degree from Stamford... which happens to be where Antonio went to college. And the degree Tom claims to have? It isn't offered at Stamford.
Jamie goes back into secret agent mode before her dinner date with Tom. Her bionics alert her to a follower and a fight ensues. After Jaime kicks ass, she sees who the assailant is: the student in class who had been implanted. He isn't in control.
Back at Berkut, Jonas debriefs Jamie and Antonio, telling them that they have the implant taken out of the student and it's identical to the one from the soldier in Iraq. Jonas and Antonio want to pull Jamie off the case. If Tom is the supplier, and they think he is, then she is too close to him. Jamie counters that she wants to know if Tom is the bad guy here, and that no one will get closer to him then her.
She wins the argument and makes a date with Tom. They go to a fancy sushi restaurant, although neither is interested in sushi. The awkwardness grows until they finally both decide they should get out of the restaurant. To no great surprise they wind up back at his apartment and begin to go at one another passionately. But Jamie things get past first base, asking for some champagne. Tom, somewhat dismayed, leaves to get it, allowing Jamie to search the apartment. She finds a bottle of the implants hiding in a drawer. It's beginning to seem that Antonio was right about Tom. Jaime bolts the Berkut Group.
Back in the city, Antonio is on the stake-out for the buyer. With some other back-up, they follow him to the location where the drop is made. After they bust in on the guy, he tries to say that this place is his brother's apartment, and he's just there to drop off his iPod. Antonio doesn't believe him and does a quick search, which turns up a book being used to transport the chips. Antonio gets to have a nice bad-ass moment as he intimidates the buyer, and once the buyer starts to pray, Antonio gets another cool moment as he tries to reason with the buyer.
Jamie is waiting on campus when Jonas calls her. He informs her that the chips are a match and that she is to follow Tom, not allowing him to make a drop... even if this means killing him.
Jamie catches up to Tom, sees him pass off an envelope to someone and she seizes it. But when she looks through the envelope she sees that it is just contains a paper from the class. While she is examining the envelope, Tom catches her and forces her to lay her cards on the table. Tom tells her that he is with the CIA. Some inter-agency jealousy between the CIA and Berkut is revealed, as Tom tells Jamie that he, too, was there to track down who was selling these chips.
As they argue, the real seller makes the drop with his contact. The seller is revealed to be none other than Shawn, the tech in charge of the earlier implantation in the student. Jamie, Antonio and Tom take the Shawn, his client and their accomplices down.
Jamie stops back by Tom's place, but ends up walking away without knocking on his door. As she's leaving, Tom walks up to the building. He invites her in, and shares his past with her. When Jamie is asked about how she became a part of the Berkut group, Jamie tells him that she'd rather not talk about it. "It's my last night at college. Can't we just pretend to be normal?" At this, the two kiss once more...
