One of the best episodes. I love 'classic' American T.V.

While on holiday, Jaime survives an attempt made on her life. Arriving back at OSI, she discovers that a woman, Lisa Galloway (also played by Wagner), has undergone plastic surgery to become her exact double.

Galloway has fooled everyone and is stealing top secret documents. In a showdown between the two, Jaime proves who she is by using her bionics.

You get two Jaime Summers for the price of one, well, actually one of them is a fake - a hard smoking southern belle who got plastic surgery to look like our favourite OSI bionic agent, courtesy of some bad guys who want Oscar dead and some clandestine OSI plans. Needless to say, this is a fun episode with a grand performance by Lindsay Wagner who plays the two characters very well. There's some good twist and turns, a series of mistaken identities and some nice sprinkle of humour. Poor guy Oscar Goldman looks really perplexed over this twin business. Liked the scene where Jaime -the real one, of course - breaks out of the crate whilst underwater.

Where to begin?

Many, many, instances of utter lack of security, in both the good and bad side's buildings.

Utter lack of training, regarding the spies.

Constant telegraphing of unintentional cues, to both doubles, which conveniently helped both, to prevent being found out.

So much more.

It was so badly written, that it seemed like a B cartoon.
