Katee Sackhoff owned the third episode of
Bionic Woman. "Sisterhood" gave us much-needed information about Sackhoff's Sarah, the first Bionic Woman now being driven insane by the shortcomings of the technology inside her. As the only other person alive who understands what Sarah is going through, Jamie Sommers (Michelle Ryan) is put in the difficult position of having her uneasy relationship with her employers at the Berkut Group put directly at odds with her humanity.
In a flashback we learn that Sarah was driving in a car accident that killed her sister; the accident looks suspiciously like the one that led to Jamie's bionic surgery. Now the only way Sarah can save her life - according to rogue scientist Anthony Anthros (Mark Sheppard) - is to persuade to Jamie to submit to testing that might reveal how the bionics are impacting Sarah's psyche.
My favorite scene of the series so far is the argument between Sarah and Jamie after the two knock off a gang of Serbian hoods. Was Sarah this self-involved before the accident? Sackhoff finds some unexpected comedy here; I guess it's not surprising being the first Bionic Woman would make one a diva. I've gushed about Sackhoff before and will no doubt do it again. The idea of creating a "bad" Bionic Woman was a brilliant stroke; this show is going to be about how people relate to large anonymous corporations as much as anything else. Another plot line concerned the "optical tracker" in Jamie's eye that she insists be turned off for privajcy reasons. It turns out it can be turned off and on at will at the cost of only a nosebleed. Who shows Jamie how? Sarah. Live Free and Be Bionic.
