I was watching the QL episode "The Boogeyman" (if this is inaccurate, it's because the forum wouldn't let me spell the episode's name the other way). Sam leaps into horror novelist Joshua Ray and has to prevent Ray's girlfriend (Mary, is it?) from being strangled in the spook house. In the final scene, Sam confronts the sheriff (who is supposed to be dead) and upon grabbing his hand, there is a red glow followed by a change of form into Al. Sam finds out it's the devil and the devil is there to put an end to his leaping. The devil (in the form of Al) grabs Sam's throat and they start spinning around and Sam sees all the people who have died, and also the goat and Mary, and Al is yelling "Hang in there, Sam!" over and over. Sam finally seems to lose conscious and when it regains it, he's back where he started from.
Al appears and Sam has to try and touch him to see that he's the real Al. As soon as Al mentions Tully's name, Sam races upstairs and grabs Tully before he falls off the ladder. Sam dismisses it as a dream at first but how does he know who Tully is or what is supposed to happen to him if the dream wasn't real? How would he know what's supposed to happen without Al telling him? Was this a dream constructed by god/fate/time/chance or whatever the heck is supposed to be guiding Sam? Was Sam simply taken back in time and release, miraculously from the devil's grip? When I watch the final scene, I sometimes think that the plot to kill Mary was just a ploy, and it was actually Sam who the devil was after.
Fellow fans will have to pardon me if this topic has been discussed before. I really didn't feel like digging up any old threads.
