Plot
Oscar Goldman reluctantly attended a gala dinner at The Pentagon to celebrate the upcoming "World Unity Games" and loudly complained to OSI agent Allan Devlin that he now has to practice dÃÆ' à © tente with his former bitter enemies in the era of
The next day, Kate Mason is preparing the final stage needed to be bionic enhanced. Dr Rudy Wells, through a series of operations, has planted Kate with electric bone boosters, contacts muscle stimulation, bionic vessels, and control computers in his brain. The last activation was done in front of a military and civilian audience audience, and Kate stood up from the chair. Since there should be only four known bionics - Steve, Jaime, son of Steve Michael, and now Kate - General McAllister has stepped up security and questioned everyone involved in the bionic program about the theft.
The masked man put a bomb on Steve's ship, but Jim Goldman was caught in an explosion and became paralyzed. When McAlister refused to authorize bionic operations for Jim due to budgetary issues, Oscar resigned from the OSI, denouncing what he saw as a wasted year for a disrespectful and bureaucratic system. Jaime and Steve, worried that he might defect or become a target, track the Oscar up to the bar where he drunk starts talking about his "robot" friend. They took Oscar home to sleep, but the masked bionic attacker broke in and kidnapped him, displaying superior bionic powers for Steve and Kate. Oscar was awakened in the presence of Director General Dzerinsky and CIA Soviet Charles Estiman working together. They persuaded him to defect and cooperate, so that they could restore a tense political climate that kept them all in business. The bionic infiltrator was revealed to Allan Devlin, the OSI agent who was assigned to monitor Kate.
Steve and General McAllister decided to put Kate in disguise among competitors at the World Unity Games as his first OSI mission, with Jim disguised as his coach in hopes of finding information about Oscars or intruders. A group of men cornered Kate, intending to use a bionic bully to paralyze and kill her. Jim rescues her, showing that her paralysis is a ruse. He tells her the plan is set by Oscar to start a chain of events that will lead to enemies who are trying to recruit him. The Olympics began at the Copps Coliseum in Toronto, and the OSI team monitored security when they got the Oscar-reading transmissions, at gunpoint, a message prepared that the target was a premiere Soviet Premiere. Jaime's hearing took a second message from Oscar that tapped his location in Morse code. He and Steve rescue the Oscars and, knowing that Devlin is a traitor, concludes that the real target is Soviet Foreign Minister Yuri Kellagyn.
Kate scans the arena during her last race and sees Devlin will trigger a bomb in Kellagyn's delivery box. Running track with blurred speed, he throws a shot at Devlin to stop him and chase. A bionic battle ensues to the roof, where Kate captures Devlin unattended and throws her to the ground below, ending the threat.
Later, while the OSI team celebrated the safe conclusion of the Olympics, General McAllister read a congratulatory note from the President. Steve takes Jaime aside to try to propose but is distracted once again - by Jaime proposing him instead.
