Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Jaime and Antonio are fighting in the bodega and Jaime kicks Antonio into the wooden shelving unit, the use of a stunt double is extremely obvious due to the stunt double looking significantly different from Isaiah Washington.

Quotes:

Antonio Pope: You're a machine, don't think about it.
Jaime Sommers: Even if it's not real, it's still attached. I'd like to keep it that way.

Improvement

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Finally! An overall improvement of the new "Bionic Woman"! In this episode the age/desires conflict between the 2 sisters deepens: while Jaime is interested in saving an American doctor/secret agent/spy caught by terrorists in Paraguay, her sister, Becca seems to have a more egocentric behavior: she's a teenager. Also, in this episode Sarah is caught by Jonas's boys, but she manages to get away after taking Jae hostage. Ruth does some psychological tests on Sarah (not relevant for the story, nor for Sarah's illness), Antonio gets a hell of a beating from Jaime, and Jonas lies,lies,lies: Jaime has only 5 years to live; after that the bionics just stop working! He promises to help Jaime, but we'll see if he keeps his word. The episode ends with the single poorly acted scene (except of course the fight scene between Jaime and Antonio) between the 2 sisters (secrets, promises, trust, the same emotional stuff, just badly done! Those 2 should really take some acting classes!). That's all for now! Really glad the show improved!
