Summary[]
Quotes[]
Jaime: How much longer?
Rudy: Forty seconds. I need at least a minute to run a cardiovascular check.
Jaime: In a minute, I could be dead, Rudy. Why don't I do it with my bionic arm? Or I could jog in place for you.
Rudy: Jog in place.
Jaime: Yeah.
Rudy: Sure. Your atomic-powered bionics don't exactly strain your heart. Now just keep going.
Rudy: It's a simple case of being in the right place at the right time.
Jaime: Just like me.
Oscar: Not quite, Babe. Max only cost a million.
Jaime: Yes, I know. Max-a-millian? (rolls her eyes)
Oscar: Was I that obvious? I really thought it was a good idea.
Jaime: Oh, my! A bionic jaw?
Rudy: Well, we figured that was one piece of equipment you'd never need.
Jaime: Hey! Dr. Wells...
Oscar: Is it possible that Max isn't rejecting?
Rudy: Are you questioning my judgement?
Oscar: I'm giving you a chance to modify your position, Rudy. To play the grey zone. If there's the slightest doubt.
Rudy: Sometimes even a good scientist lets emotion cloud his mind. Maybe I resented the way Jaime jumped on this when she found out about Max. Maybe I wanted to show her I was still in control, I don't know.
Jaime: Dear Oscar, I know that what I'm doing may seem foolish to you. I'm sorry, and I hope that someday, you'll understand. Max and I are going someplace safe, away from you and away from people. If Rudy is right and Max is rejecting his bionics, then it's only right that he has me to help him through it. He deserves a chance, Oscar. I hope someone's there to do the same thing for me when it's my turn. Give Jim and Helen my love and tell them I'll call soon. I'll be okay. We'll both be okay. I know it. Love, Jaime.
Trivia[]
- This was the first episode of The Bionic Woman to air on its new network, NBC. As such, with this episode Richard Anderson and Martin E. Brooks made TV history by becoming the first actors to play the same characters on two different series airing on two different networks, during the same TV season. Unfortunately, no crossover appearances by Lee Majors. However, that does not stop the script for this episode making a direct reference to Steve Austin anyway.
- The tank top that Jaime Sommers is wearing at the beginning of the episode says, "I'll try anything once".
- This episode marks the final appearance of Ford Rainey in the Bionic Woman.
- This episode features recap scenes from the original The Bionic Woman (episode) that were edited out of its long run on the Sci-Fi Channel.
- Max is mentioned by Rudy in Return of the Six Million Dollar Man and the Bionic Woman.
- This is one of the few episodes of either show to feature a song with lyrics, in this case "Friends," used for Max and Jaime's run after she breaks him out of Rudy's lab.
Nitpicks[]
- During the scene in which Jaime is lifting the barbell and Rudy is writing notes, Jaime suddenly disappears from behind Rudy. Then the shot is flopped to better align the angle to Jaime's POV.
