When Quantum Leap ended its first season, we saw Ben (Raymond Lee) leap, and we were hoping he leaped home.
Tonight, the series is back at 8p on NBC, and we find out he didn’t go home. Instead, he lept in a plane that is about to crash in Russia in 1978. He and four other people are on a secret military mission to protect a piece of cargo at all costs, but he is all alone.
Because no one from Quantum Leap, including Addison (Caitlin Bassett), seems to be observing him. So he doesn’t know what he has to do to leap. And he needs the help.
They are alone in Russia, and no one from any time or place are coming to rescue them. So, they are going to have to do what they can to get the mysterious cargo to its destination. Is that what Ben needs to do so he can leap home? Or does he need to do something else?
You are going to have to watch this intense episode that proves even if you are down and out; you can still be a hero. At least, that is what these four men and one woman are going to try to do.
I have read that Quantum Leap is going to focus more on the leaps this season, and they definitely did that. Along with concentrating on the past, we are getting glimpses of present day. So, we are still in the loop about what is going on at home and what is going on with Ben, whose memories keep coming back. But are they enough for him to remember how to get home? We will have to tune in every week to find out.
