episode #6 of 1st season / Air Date: 3/17/76 
written by James D. Parriott Directed by Alan Crosland
The bionic woman enters the sinister world of beauty pageants! Oscar makes a rather earnest plea of Jaime to enter this contest undercover as Miss CA; Jaime doesn't like such spectacles. The 'macguffin' in this episode is a micro computer circuit; the last message from a just-deceased OSI agent in Europe connected this sought-for gizmo with the beauty pageant. Could someone like Bert Parks really be involved in such underhanded scheming? How un-American (it's just a character played by Parks, of course, but Parks is basically imitating himself here - he was famous as the host of such contests in the sixties). Jaime goes in with her foster mom, Helen (Martha Scott) and soon the intrigue begins. The top two guys (Parks and Gary Crosby) running the pageant appear involved in spy stuff and they soon realize that Jaime is a ringer.
