S01.E12: Let Them Play - Quantum Leap (2022)

After poor Ben put in Gia with zero idea of what was going on, and then was shredded by everyone, if any time the show needed an 'oh boy!' that was then. I certainly said it. Even the wife. 

Interesting that Ian remembered both timelines. Not interesting that Ian stole the scene with "I've been bested by my own technology!" Because the line was brilliant and that's exactly what I expected. 

I know the point of the car wash was merely an excuse, but was it on school grounds? I don't know how they could hold Ben/Carlos liable as to cost his job? I did like how the union rep had zero lines until the end and basically was a mic drop. 

Hudson again brings it with his reaction to the poem. I was hoping the sketches were going to be Sam. I was thoroughly surprised. 

So know we have four people out there leaping in the current show canon. 

I don't remember if Ben remembers he wrote the new code with Janis yet?

Well, the "right what once went wrong" was saving Gia's life. Not everyone had historical significance even in the original.

I would say this is quite in line with the original. I would concede it would have been nice to just hear she was a social worker in 2022 or something. However, as it's been correctly said, this issue is far from resolved, so the entire mission being one trans kid didn't run away and end up dead is all right with me. Also it was pointed out that Ian 'remembered'. So if Ian did, plenty others must have. That's also good enough. The point of the show for me was always walking in someone else's shoes. This was just as much about being parents to a trans kid as being a trans kid. We didn't really see it, but Gia said that they basically were just locking her away. So now they're better parents too.

Sam saves pig

This was my garage band in 8th grade. 

I'd also add to the list - there was one where a guy got his taxi medallion/hack license. Sam helps guy drive a cab in New York City.
