Bionic Woman Trust Issues Reviewed

Trust Issues is one of those episodes that had a lot of potential going into it, from the previews it sure seemed like an episode full of questions and answers. The plot of Bionic Woman has been hurting a bit, viewers are just not connecting, and I think a lot of it has to do with the uneven storylines. Unfortunately Trust Issues doesn’t trust its cast well enough to really allow this plot line to develop. Trust Issues starts off with Jaime having her new love interest Tom, over for dinner with her sister, which lasts about a minute, and Jaime is called in for business. If there is to be a relationship for Jaime, no matter who it is, it is going to be a tough sell with her schedule.

So the big storyline involves Jaime and Antonio and some high powered sniper rifles which can shoot from over two miles away. Now that is what I call power. Anyways Antonio is acting fishy, he finds out about the location of a foreign president’s plane before anyone at the agency has found out, and then we see him go to a motel and it seems as though he is talking with the assassin. We find out later that he knew the assassin from previous assignments and doesn’t want to pull the trigger on a former friend.

Antonio hesitates when pulling the trigger on the assassin and gets shot in the process. It is one of those things that happens so fast that your not sure how deadly the wound was, but we all know Isaiah Washington’s role was temporary, and we see Antonio die in the ambulance only a few minutes after being shot. You know they hyped this episode up as being a big episode, but the big climax was really quite disappointing. Like many of the episodes in the past, Trust Issues has all the makings for a true November episode, but it has far to many holes in the plot to really keep you interested.
