On her way to the IADC building after leaving the amusement park, Diana's (LYNDA CARTER) car is shot at. A bullet goes through the front tire which sends the vehicle into a spin. As the heavies approach the car, they Find it empty. Suddenly, they whirl around and standing behind them is Wonder Woman. She whirls her lasso and it settles around their shoulders. They confess they to not know who hired them - it is just a telephone voice to them and they receive their payment in the mail. She instructs them to tell the voice they completed their job and then they are to march themselves town to the nearest police station and turn themselves in.

     In the meantime, David (JARED MARTIN) and Randy (IKE EISENMANN) are becoming fast friends. David tells him that Leon would write him letters every week when he was in Vietnam telling him about the amusement park and he always carried the letters with him. He tells him that he designed the Super Loop but never rode it. Randy tells him that he could ride it all day and has a scrap book full of roller coasters - they've always fascinated him. David then takes Randy to the equipment room and shows him how the Super Loop works. He explains it all in detail and leaves him there to enjoy it. He walks to a part of the tunnel and there waiting for him is his brother Leon (JARED MARTIN). Leon tells David about the family and mostly about their father's party. He then gets down to business and tells him that a boy is missing and he knows that David is hiding him. David tells him that he can't release Randy because he will tell all. Leon pleads with David to let the boy go. The police are harassing him about the missing boy and they are threatening to tear up the park to look for him. He also pleads with David to come out in the open and to quit hiding. David walks away from him.

      Fynch, now more determined than ever to bug the park, orders Pierce to do something to the Super Loop - anything, some sort of an accident. Diana is spending her days at the park charading as a customer, keeping an eye on the Super Loop. As she passes a concessionaire selling coffee, she notices a picture of Randy with the caption, "Anyone seen this boy?" David and Randy are in the equipment room monitoring the Super Loop. Randy is very enthusiastic and asks David to teach him everything there is to know about roller coasters. David smiles and decides they should have lunch first. While David is at his work table, disassembling the bomb found in Pierce's tool case, he spills his coffee. David busy with his work does not notice that Randy picks up the empty cup and leaves. Randy goes to the trapdoor in the grass and is soon at a concessionaire stand buying a cup of coffee. Diana sees him and follows him to the tunnel. She is grabbed from behind and she turns around and sees David. David is frightened. He can't let her go for fear she will talk about him. She identifies herself but David still can't let her go. Suddenly, an alarm bell goes off. All turn toward the board which monitors the Super Loop and a red light is flashing on the diagram telling them where the fault is. David must do something. He and Randy leave the room, locking the door behind them. Diana quickly whirls into Wonder Woman and kicks town the door and races off.

     She rockets through the tunnel opening and lands, heading off toward the Super Loop. Near the base she sees a crack and with all her strength, Wonder Woman strains and succeeds in pulling the ends of the broken bar together. The structure holds as the train shrieks by. David has seen all this and smile it relief. David quickly returns to the tunnel and he and Randy find Wonder Woman waiting for them. She tells them that she frees Diana with the promise that she will never tell about David. She then tells David that he must come out in the open. People love him and miss him. But that has to be his decision. Right now, what she needs from David is the bomb he was working on. With that, Fynch, Pierce and the whole operation can be put behind bars.

     As she leaves, Wonder Woman takes Randy with her. She unfastens her lasso, wraps it around Randy's shoulders and within moments he will forget where he has been. Randy sadly looks at David. Diana returns to the amusement park. While she is in

Leon's office telling his the news that Fynch is in the federal penitentiary and also removing the electronic device on the bottom of the coffee cup, Leon's secretary enters alarmed and frightened. Behind her stands David. Leon is frozen. The two brothers haven't seen each other above ground for a long time. What starts out to be a handshake very quickly turns into a long embrace and as the two men stand holding each other, Diana watches and smiles at what she sees.
