#TheBionicWoman s2e15 & s2e16 (1977) - 10/10
Great idea for a story!
1️⃣ Imagine waking up in prison, and nobody believes you when you say who you really are.
2️⃣ #DonPorter is back as Dr. Courtney. And so is Jaime’s lookalike Lisa Galloway (superbly played, again, by Emmy-winner #LindsayWagner).
3️⃣ Half the episode is devoted to Jaime in prison, then escaping, then trying to prove her identity. It’s a cracking thriller, every step of the way.
4️⃣ The other half of the episode - the better half! - follows the imposter. Although she has been tasked with some espionage, she completely loses interest in it. Instead, she embraces the ordinary life of her double. Turns out, she’s somewhat lost and lonely. And she sees this as a chance for a fresh start, surrounded by people who love her. That’s a surprise. The bigger surprise is how much we come to genuinely care about Lisa before the end.
