1 | 1 | "Wonder Woman Meets Baroness von Gunther" | Barry Crane | Margaret Armen | April 21, 1976 | |
The Baroness Paula von Gunther (Christine Belford), an imprisoned Nazi spy, and her crew are framing Steve Trevor, the War Hero, for several incidents of sabotage to make him appear as a traitor, in an attempt to lower the Allies' morale. Trevor suspects the Baroness may be behind his framing. The prison warden's son Tommy, an avid fan of detective fiction, assists Wonder Woman. Having discovered the Baroness' hideout, Wonder Woman is surprised by the Baroness. She sprays Wonder Woman in the face with knock-out gas and Wonder Woman faints. Later, Wonder Woman recovers and after she and Steve Trevor have a fight against the Baroness and her crew, the Baroness is brought to justice. Also guest stars Ed Gilbert, Ed Griffith, Christian Juttner, and Bradford Dillman. Notes: This episode is based on the comic book story, "Wonder Woman Versus the Prison Spy Ring" originally published sans title in Wonder Woman #1, cover date Summer 1942. Written by William Moulton Marston and illustrated by H. G. Peter, the story was given a title in Wonder Woman Archives Volume 1 published in 1998. | ||||||
2 | 2 | "Fausta, the Nazi Wonder Woman" | Barry Crane | Bruce Shelley & David Ketchum | April 28, 1976 | |
Fausta Grables (Lynda Day George) lures Wonder Woman into a trap. Wonder Woman falls through a false floor where one of Fausta's gang overpowers her with chloroform causing Wonder Woman to faint. The unconscious Wonder Woman is then kidnapped and taken to Germany for study. Steve launches a mission to rescue her but is captured himself shortly after Wonder Woman orchestrates her own escape. Wonder Woman returns to Germany to rescue Steve and convince Fausta to abandon the Nazi cause. Also guest stars Bo Brundin, Colby Chester, Jeff Cooper, Keene Curtis, Bill Fletcher and Christopher George. Notes: Fausta Grables first appeared in Comic Cavalcade #2 Spring 1943 issue in a story entitled "Wanted by Hitler, Dead or Alive". [2] This episode marks the re-introduction of the red-white-and-blue, star-spangled cape that Wonder Woman adopts throughout the series for formal occasions; it and the miniskirt had been seen when issued to her by Queen Hippolyta in the pilot movie. This is also the only time Wonder Woman wears a mask which is golden. | ||||||
3 | 3 | "Beauty on Parade" | Richard Kinon | Ron Friedman | October 13, 1976 | |
Diana enters a beauty contest to expose a sabotage ring of radar scanning equipment, which is led by the pageant's musical director (Bobby Van).

4 | 4 | "The Feminum Mystique: Part 1" | Herb Wallerstein | S : Barbara Avedon & Barbara Corday T : Jimmy Sangster | November 6, 1976 | |
The United States Army is about to unveil its first jet fighter the XPJ-1 and the Nazis are determined to steal the plane and study it to build a jet fighter of their own. Meanwhile, Diana's younger sister Drusilla (Debra Winger) arrives from Paradise Island for a visit and gets caught up in the Nazis' plot. Kriegsmarine Captain Radl (John Saxon) also wants to find out the source of feminum, the metal used to make Wonder Woman's bracelets. He kidnaps General Blankenship, who is taking Drusilla for a drive in Washington. Drusilla discovers that she can spin into costume like her sister and turns into Wonder Girl. Wonder Girl tries to rescue the General but Captain Radl chloroforms her. Also guest stars Carolyn Jones, Charles Frank, Paul Shenar and Kurt Kreuger. Notes: This was one of Debra Winger's first acting roles. This was the only episode in the entire series that shows Wonder Woman changing back into Diana Prince, although the camera was on Drusilla's reaction rather than the transformation. Queen Hippolyta is never referred to by name. | ||||||
5 | 5 | "The Feminum Mystique: Part 2" | Herb Wallerstein | S : Barbara Avedon & Barbara Corday T : Jimmy Sangster | November 8, 1976 | |
Peter Knight, an engineer secretly working for the Nazis, gains Drusilla's trust and tricks her into revealing the location of Paradise Island. The Kriegsmarine U-boat's crew stage an invasion and force the Amazons to mine feminum ore. Queen Hippolyta commissions Princess Diana [dressed in her Wonder Woman regalia, but addressed by her proper name and royal title] to command the Amazons' militia. Wonder Girl escapes and, as Drusilla, exposes Peter as a Nazi spy. Learning Diana has returned home, Wonder Girl also returns home to Paradise Island whereupon the two princesses engineer the capture of all of the invading Germans; the Amazons' memory-wiping technology deletes the sailors' knowledge of the island's existence before they are set adrift. Wonder Woman and Wonder Girl then return to America to prevent the theft of the XPJ-1 jet. | ||||||

Erica Belgard (Gretchen Corbett), an animal behaviour specialist and Nazi agent, abducts a super-strong gorilla named Gargantua from his African jungle home in order to recapture a defecting Nazi agent (John Hillerman) who is in American custody. Erica decides to use the gorilla's strength to defeat and capture Wonder Woman. Also guest stars Robert Loggia and Tom Reese. Notes: Wonder Woman's similarly-named adversary, Giganta, was originally a super-evolved gorilla, in Wonder Woman #9 (Summer 1944). The map of Africa used at the beginning of the episode showed the "Republic of the Congo", which was not established until 1960, 18 years after the events are supposed to have taken place; in 1942, the area shown was called the Belgian Congo, later renamed the Democratic Republic of the Congo. | ||||||
7 | 7 | "The Pluto File" | Herb Wallerstein | Herbert Bermann | December 25, 1976 | |

Diana and Steve investigate a Nazi plot to flood the American economy with counterfeit $2 bills in order to destabilize the American war effort. The Nazis hatch a long-range plot taking several months to implement, as plastic surgery and vocal training is used to transform two Nazi agents into the Bureau of Engraving and Printing chief (David Cryer) and his fiancée (Barbara Anderson) a waitress and restaurant owner. Also guest stars James Olson and John Howard. Notes: Within the series' universe, production of the $2 ceased in 1942, Major Trevor handing YN1 Prince the final note to be filed; in the real world, production continued until halted in 1966-1976. Fans of Batman immediately recognized the prominently featured façade of the BEP (Building 61 on the Warner Brothers backlot's Embassy Courtyard), having not been re-dressed since its use as Gotham City Police headquarters. | ||||||
9 | 9 | "Judgment from Outer Space: Part 1" | Alan Crosland, Jr. | Stephen Kandel | January 15, 1977 | |

Wonder Woman and Andros must work together to prove America's intentions are peaceful as he at first is not sure if either side is right (mentioning the internment of "Americans of Japanese descent" in reply to Wonder Woman's charges against the Nazi racial policies).

Wonder Woman adopts a modest new outfit for this episode only: a long-sleeved red shirt and white calf-length trousers; retaining her boots, magic belt, golden lasso, tiara, and feminum bracelets. Hadley addresses BG Blankenship as "Phil", the same forename as his comic book counterpart, General Phil Darnell. The Flag of Texas is flown upside down at the ranch. | ||||||
13 | 13 | "Wonder Woman in Hollywood" | Bruce Bilson | Jimmy Sangster | February 16, 1977 | |

Wonder Woman and Steve must prevent a terrorist from stealing a nuclear power plant and destabilizing all of Latin America. Guest stars Jessica Walter, Fritz Weaver and Bettye Ackerman. Notes: This episode was 90 minutes in its original form but is usually edited to 60 minutes for syndication. The series moved from ABC to CBS and is now set in the 1970s where Steve Jr. and Diana are government agents at the hi-tech Inter-Agency Defense Command (IADC). Academy Award winner Beatrice Straight guest stars as Diana's mother, the Queen.

Wonder Woman displays the tiara's communications capability for the first time, communicating with Paradise Island via the star ruby and a mirror (similar to the mental radio of the comics); this capability was referred to by her mother, Queen Hippolyta, when re-issuing the costume to Princess Diana in the season première. She also spins up an alternate costume, a long blue wetsuit including a hood with a tiara design, for the first time in this episode. This is the first episode with no direct references to events of World War II except for Steve Trevor Sr.'s plane crash. This is also the final appearance of Queen Hyppolyta in the series. | ||||||

Diana goes undercover at the Malakan embassy to protect the crown jewels from a notorious international jewel thief (David Hedison). The loss of the jewels would spell the end of the reign of the Queen (Juliet Mills) of Malakar. In a twist, the thief is not behind the theft of the jewels.

21 | 8 | "I Do, I Do" | Herb Wallerstein | Richard Carr | November 11, 1977 | |

She discovers that an evil masseur (Henry Darrow) is using his skills to hypnotize the wives of government officials into revealing secrets.

Notes: This episode marks two major changes in the appearance of Wonder Woman's alter ego, Diana Prince: the first time she removes her glasses in public and the first time she lets down her hair — in a ponytail.

The animated opening credits are replaced with a more traditional montage of clips from the series; at the beginning of the episode, Steve Trevor is promoted to a desk job, becoming Diana's supervisor at the IADC, as a result of which his role gradually diminishes throughout the remainder of the series. This episode is the final appearance of Norman Burton as Joe Atkinson - his distinctive voice is then heard for several episodes as the voice of IRAC, before being replaced in "Diana's Disappearing Act". | ||||||
23 | 10 | "Mind Stealers from Outer Space: Part 1" | Michael Caffey | Stephen Kandel | December 2, 1977 | |
An alien race called the Skrill come to Earth to steal the minds of humans to be sold into slavery.

Wonder Woman and Andros continue to battle the Skrill, who are even more dangerous now that they have deduced Wonder Woman's secret identity and have captured Andros' mind. Notes: IRAC likewise first implies its knowledge of Diana's alternate identity, saying as she departs, "Good night, Miss Prince ... ess". Wonder Woman delivers some opening narration which appears to have been rather hastily written, and which "reveals" that this Andros had worked with her in 1943, the year after his father had done so in "Judgement From Outer Space"; like his father, he had invited her to travel the stars with him. The way the episode was written, however, makes it clear that this is in fact meant to be the same Andros. At one point, he implies that the elder Steve Trevor had not yet been promoted at that time, mistakenly addressing the identical Steve Jr. as "Major". | ||||||
25 | 12 | "The Deadly Toys" | Dick Moder | S : Carey Wilber T : Anne Collins | December 30, 1977 | |

Later she awakes, then transforms into Wonder Woman, however she is confronted by the android and is knocked unconscious. Also guest stars John Rubinstein and James A. Watson Jr. Notes: Despite her pagan beliefs, but in accordance with Lynda Carter's Christian faith, Wonder Woman scrawls a public, "Merry Christmas -- W.W." in spray paint or fake snow on a toy store window. IRAC all but admits its knowledge of Diana's secret identity to an oblivious Steve Trevor. | ||||||

Diana poses as a photographer to protect an Air Force test flight from sabotage. Guest Stars Michael Shannon, Corinne Camacho, Alan Fudge, Mitch Vogel and John van Dreelen. Note: Diana appears in uniform for the first time since season 1, albeit posing as an Air Force staff sergeant, one grade lower than her assumed Naval rate of YN 1 more than 30 years earlier; among the ribbons that she wears on her disguise is the Air Force's version of Good Conduct Medal, the Naval version of which she legitimately earned during the war. | ||||||

Notes: IRAC and Rover confirm to each other and the audience that they know Diana is Wonder Woman; when Diana's access is suspended, IRAC nevertheless provides her the information she requests (albeit with a wink and a nod; e.g., "I am not authorized to tell Diana Prince that [the requested data]"), and notes to Rover after her departure that no one pulled Wonder Woman's clearance. | ||||||
