Editing The Wolf Boy (The Six Million Dollar Man) (section)

==Conjecture==

This episode features a somewhat unusual, though not unprecedented, instance of Steve telling Oscar what mission he's going on, rather than the reverse. Though both Steve and Jaime occasionally had adventures that were more personal than * professional in nature, what makes this episode slightly unusual is that Oscar could well have sent Steve on a mission like this. Laying the "wolf boy" claims to one side, a joint American-Japanese rescue of the son of a dead American diplomat seems an appropriate use of OSI resources.
* It seems a little odd that Kuroda's benefactor couldn't have found more fitting work for a man with such highly developed survival skills than selling women's shoes.
* It's strange that Steve & Kuroda would pass their picture of Gary, back & forth over the camp fire. Kuroda drops it, causing the Wolf Boy to burn his hand. Then minutes later after having burn salve applied, Wolf Boy is holding onto a rope, with said burned hand.
* After Kuroda's ankle is released from the trap, he shows no indication of being hurt, unlike when he was in the trap. It seems highly unlikely he'd be able to stand, walk & run, so well, just minutes after being in a steel trap.
* Why is Oscar in Japan, at the mission's end, if he is trying to cut the OSI budget? A second trip would cost money, he can't afford. Wouldn't it be less expensive to make a phone or radio call?
