Upon arrival, she learns that her former coach, Jim Elgin, has been replaced by a new coach, Bob Nash. Jaime is shocked to see that Nash's coaching methods involve doping his athletes with performance-enhancing drugs.

Jaime confronts Nash about his unethical behavior but he brushes off her concerns. Later, Jaime meets with Elgin who tells her that he suspects that Nash has connections with a notorious bookie, Frank Trenholm.

Nash is enraged by Jaime's victory and tries to attack her but she fights back with her bionic strength. With the help of Elgin and the police, Jaime and Donna expose Nash and Trenholm's plan and have them arrested.

In the end, Jaime returns to her normal life but not before reconciling with Elgin and Donna, who thank her for saving the competition's integrity.
