Sam leaps into surroundings remnant of Star Trek as he faces the mirror image of Jifunt, an extra-terrestrial scientist studying an alien race: humans! Onboard his spacecraft are two human specimens, one who Ziggy says will return to Earth the following day claiming that aliens had abducted him and his wife and that the aliens had killed her. Speaking telepathically, Sam tries to communicate with the aliens while Al brings the real Jifunt into the Imaging Chamber to help Dr. Beckett convince his alien counterparts to let the man and woman go. But will they all disappear when the alien leader discovers who Sam really is?



Summary by mshirley27

Sam finds himself aboard an alien craft in earth orbit. The craft has abducted a couple, a man and his pregnant wife for research. Sam is in the place of one of the alien researchers. While he cannot understand their language, he can understand their thoughts.


airdave's Quantum Leap #13 - One Giant Leap review

Going Out With a BANG!

Christine Elaine Hantzopulis' script, "One Giant Leap", For Quantum Leap 13, also known as the Quantum Leap Time and Space Special, is an enjoyable story. After the two-page opening recap, Luke Ross' artwork finds Sam where no one has gone before. The Page Four Splash Page reveal is a nice touch. It's enjoyable to see the build-up to the reveal. While Sam is confused; so are Al and the rest of the Project Quantum Leap team in New Mexico.

Al sees that alien that Sam has displaced.

To leap, Sam must negotiate the release of the Brooklyn couple that have been taken on board for "analysis".

Things get complicated when Al brings the alien into the Imaging Chamber to help Sam!

Hantzopulis' script is quite challenging for Sam and Al. But no less satisfying in conclusion.

It's a thrilling star trek, that nearly leaves Sam lost in space. A real kick in the butt final issue of the series.
