Leap
Date:
May 17, 1954
Leap Location:
Georges Island, Massachusetts
Name of Leapee: Liam O'Connor
Detailed Synopsis:
Ben
Leaps into the body of Liam O'Connor, who he at first believes to be in
a consult with Dr. Mueller at a mental institution. His wife tells the
doctor that Ben is clearly not in his right mind. The doctor says
treatments can begin immediately. Mueller leaves the room for a moment,
and the woman with him reveals that she has hired O'Connor, a private
detective, to get her sister Judith out of the institution.
An assistant named Lawrence puts Ben in a wheelchair and takes him back
into the facility. He then warns Ben that "structure is sanity" and
that if he threatens that, they will have a serious problem. In a very
creepy scene, as Lawrence takes him to his room, Ben witnesses
screaming and wailing from the other patients from their rooms. Ben's
own room is filthy and dark.
Addison arrives, startling Ben in his new surroundings. According to
Ziggy, Judith's husband had her admitted for hysteria which allowed him
to get a marriage annulment and remarry three months later. Ziggy is
loose on details at the moment, but says that this was Liam's last job
and Judith never left the asylum, and neither did Liam. Addison advises
Ben to stick to Mueller's schedule to avoid raising any suspicions for
now.
At PQL, Magic, Addison and Ian
discuss finding an escape route for Ben (and hopefully Judith) out of
the asylum. Ian is doing double-duty as security and research because
Jenn is sick. (In real-life, the actress had Covid.) While looking at
the asylum schematics, an alarm goes off letting them know that Janis
Calavicci's ankle monitor has been tampered with. Magic departs for
Beth Calavicci's house to check on Janis.
At mealtime in the asylum, Ben speaks
to Ralph, a patient at his table. He asks Ralph about Judith, but Ralph
hasn't seen her in a few days. He says sometimes patients come back
with dead eyes, and sometimes not at all. Judith enters and sits for
her meal. Ben goes to her and tells her he was sent there by her sister
Elaine, but Judith appears catatonic and doesn't seem to hear him.
Lawrence sees Ben at Judith's table and screams at him for leaving his
assigned seat. Ralph attempts to stop Lawrence, but is taken down by
the staff. Judith suddenly comes to life and tells Ben to meet her in
the library later.
Ian discovers more about George's
Island history and shares with Addison. Mueller was performing
experimental procedures on patients and covering up their deaths before
the facility was "shuttered" in the 1970's. Ian finds an escape route
for Ben and Judith, and it is surprisingly short and direct! Addison
tells Ian to thank Ziggy for her. Ian, in a mimicked computer voice
similar to Stephen Hawking,
says "You are welcome Addison."
Magic visits Beth and Janis. Janis
purposefully removed her ankle monitor to get Magic to visit her. She
was promised updates on the Leaps, but feels that her reports aren't
arriving fast enough. She asks if Benn and Martinez have crossed paths
again. She tells Magic that there is an order to Ben's Leaps and if he
is in 1954, this is their last chance.
Ben meets with Judith as Addison
arrives. Judith says she won't leave the other patients behind with
Mueller. She wants to get the doctor's files as evidence before they
escape. Addison does not approve of the plan, but Ben is insistent and
she leaves the Imaging Chamber to help Ben on his new mission to shut
down Mueller.
As Addison and Ian find a route into
Mueller's office, a Quantum Anomaly is detected, alarms going off. They
realize that Martinez is about to Leap in and Addison runs back to the
Imaging Chamber.
Addison warns Ben that Martinez is
coming and that she will look for him. A moment later Lawrence is over
taken in light and Martinez takes his place.
Addison returns again to Ian, who
has discovered a misfiled report from the old Quantum Leap project.
(See images 68-70 on the left of this page.) It mentions the Evil
Leapers! Ian says something doesn't make sense about Martinez if he is
an evil Leaper. Why did he help Ben on the USS Montana if he was there
to put wrong what had been set right by Ben? Why didn't be sabotage
Ben's Leap at Salvation? Addison says thats true, but we didn't see
Martinez until the end of those Leaps. He could have set the fire in
Salvation and "convinced Drake to turn the cold war hot" on the
battleship. Ian nods as Addison returns to Ben.
Judith, in a painting session with
Ben and other patients, reveals to Ben that she had several
miscarriages, and this was probably why her husband put her in the
asylum. Ben creates a disturbance that gets he and Judith put on
bathroom cleaning duty. This allows them to access the air vent and get
into Mueller's office. Addison joins them and helps Ben crack open
Mueller's safe, getting the files. Judith phones Elaine and tells her
to meet them in the parking lot outside the asylum. As they attempt to
leave the office, Martinez appears and says he is there to help them.
He can see Addison! However, Mueller also arrives and sends
Lawrence/Martinez away for the time being. He tells the orderlies to
prep Judith for surgery and to take Ben away for some questioning,
while taking back his files.
Mueller gives Ben truth serum. He tells Mueller he is Dr. Ben Song and
works for Quantum Leap, a secret government time travel project. He
Leaps into other peoples bodies to fix the past. He leaped from the
year 2022 to save his affiances from.... can't remember what. He tells
Mueller he is there to put Mueller in prison and help Judith escape.
Mueller tells Ben that he has been looking for a subject like him...
one he can study on the table while keeping him alive. Ben is put in a
straitjacket and Addison says she will not leave him there, but goes
back to address the situation with her team.
Addison enters the Control Room to
find Janis conversing with Magic and Ian. Magic tells her that Janis is
trying to convince them to tell Ben not to save Judith so that he will
stop Leaping. Janis explains that Martinez Leaps the same way Ben does,
by helping people. Ian adds that they are obviously using the same
machine, so maybe they're using the same Ziggy, just in a future
timeline. Maybe Ziggy thinks that this mission requires two Leapers.
Janis says all she knows is that Ben said he had to sabotage one of
Martinez's Leaps in order to reach his final destination, which is when
Martinez is going to try and kill Addison. The path Ben is on, he has
three chances to stop Martinez: Salvation, the battleship, and now. Ian
says that if Ben sabotages the Leap, he'll be stranded in 1954. Janis
says this is what Ben wanted. He was going to try and find another way,
but if all else failed, he was going to sacrifice himself for the
greater good. Magic tells Janis that he won't break his promise to Al
that he'd never lose another Leaper as Addison goes back to speak to
Martinez directly.
As Judith is being prepped for what
appears to be a gruesome lobotomy, Martinez tells the nurse that
Mueller told him to take Judith away. The nurse says she'll wait to
hear that from the doctor and turns her back to him. Martinez picks up
a scalpel and as he is about to stab the nurse, Addison stops him and
asks him to talk to her. Martinez pockets the scalpel and leaves with
Addison. She tells Martinez that she also has military experience in
intelligence and sometimes bloodshed can be avoided, even working with
known hostiles (referring to Martinez).
Martinez frees Ben from his straitjacket with Addison behind him. Ben
comes up with a plan to save Judith as Mueller is about to pound a
lobotomy tool into Judith's skull. He pretends to hold
Martinez/Lawrence hostage. Together, they overtake Mueller and take
Judith off the table. Martinez, Ben and Judith are led by Addison to a
ladder leading up to the surface. At the top, Judith's sister Elaine
awaits them. As Ben climbs the ladder, he thanks Martinez for his help.
Martinez says "don't get used to it" and stabs Ben in the neck! He
explains that his orders were to stop Ben before they crossed again and
that Ben is a threat to his greater mission. Ben falls back into the
asylum.
Watching from the Control Room,
Magic asks Ian to put him through to Addison. Magic speaks to her
through the handlink. He addresses her as Captain Augustine, and
reminds her that she has saved hundreds of lives without being
physically present.
Addison then talks Ben back up the ladder, bleeding severely. They make
it to a car to get out of the rain. Addison talks to Ben to keep him
awake, telling him about their relationship. She says it drives her
crazy that there are no foods that he dislikes, they both hate dancing
except at weddings, and the first time he told her he loved her was at
Griffith Observatory. Ben says he told her then, but he knew he loved
her when they
were pulling an all-nighter working on the Quantum Accelerator, talking
about why they both joined Quantum Leap. Ben nearly fades away but when
two nurses walk near the car, Addison talks him back just enough to
honk the horn. They rush to save Ben and he Leaps.
Magic takes Janis back to Beth's
house and tells her that Judith moved in with her sister and adopted a
child. Liam O'Connor survived and had a long career as a private
investigator. Mueller lost his medical license and would never harm
anyone again. Magic tells Janis that it works both ways when exchanging
information. She smashes Magic's phone and tells him that no one at HQ
can hear what she is about to tell him. Ben never told her who the mole
was inside Project Quantum Leap, and may not have known himself, but
after something Ian said, Janis figured it out. She says "It's Ziggy."
Magic says, "What?!" and we see a shot of Ziggy's glowing blue panels
change to red before screen blackout.
Personal
Review & Detailed Synopsis by Brian Greene:
A fun episode with plenty of dark
story and action! A mythology episode intermixed with a vivid portrayal
of a 1950's mental asylum makes this a captivating installment in our
series. Many fans thought this might be a direct crossover episode with
"Shock Theater" from
the original QL series, as it was set in 1954 as well, but this took a
quick turn right from the beginning. It was good to see Janis return
and help continue to story of Martinez and move the plot arc along as
we near the end of the season. The Leap story itself was not lost in
the mythology and the writers did a nice job fleshing out the
Judith/Elaine narrative. I enjoyed this outing very much and am
intrigued to find out what happens next week as Ben flies the "Friendly Skies"! Will Martinez return?
Is Ziggy really the antagonist? Fascinating storytelling...
Project
Trivia: Jenn does not
appear in this episode since Magic sent her home for a cough.
Janis has been under house arrest for the past few episodes, wearing an
ankle bracelet.
Janis says this is their last chance if Ben has Leaped into 1954.
Ian finds a misfiled report from the old Quantum Leap project
referencing the Evil
Leapers! Specifically mentioned in the report are Zoey and her hologram.
Janis tells the Project team that Martinez leaps the same way that Ben
does - by helping people. Ian suggests that they also use the same
Ziggy - just in different timelines.
According to Janis, Martinez is the person that kills Addison. The only
way to stop him is for Ben to sabotage one of Martinez's leaps.
Ian states that Ziggy controls the Leaps. However, Ben has set the
order of the Leaps, but not who or why. Magic believes there may be a
higher power, as Sam and Al did in the original series.
Martinez can see Addison. Assuming it works both ways, Martinez does
not seem to have his own holographic assistant.
Janis reveals that she believes the mole within Quantum Leap to be
Ziggy! She ponders if Ben knew Ziggy was the mole. This could explain
why Ziggy was shut down in the pilot episode as Ben Leaped.
The final shot of the episode shows Ziggy's panels changing from
glowing blue to glowing red.
Ben Trivia: Ben
is given truth serum and discloses his real name and the name of
Project Quantum Leap to a staff of doctors in 1954. He also tells them
that he is part of a time travel project and he Leaps into people's
bodies in the past. Ben discloses that began Leaping in 2022. A similar
situation happened to Sam Beckett in the episode "Star
Light, Star Bright."
There are no foods that Ben dislikes, and it drives Addison crazy.
Ben and Addison both hate dancing, except at weddings, which "totally
works out."
The first time Ben told Addison that he loved her was at Griffith
Observatory. Ben says he knew he loved her way earlier than that. They
were pulling an all-nighter working on the Quantum Accelerator, talking
about why they both joined Quantum Leap. This is the same location Sam
Beckett visited in the episode "Goodbye, Norma Jean."
Addison Trivia: The majority
of Addison's military career was spent in Intelligence, gathering
information.
Ian's
Outfits Worn in
the Episode: Black blazer with black slacks. Silver
bracelet.
Kiss With History: None this
episode.
Miscellaneous
Trivia: For
several weeks prior to release, this episode was publicized as simply,
"Ben." The title was changed just prior to broadcast.
The epsisode title refers to the book and movie "Girl, Interrupted"
about the authors' time in a psychiatric hospital during the 1960's.
In an
interview with Dean Georgaris on the Fates Wide Wheel podcast, Dean
mentions that the radio broadcast of the Brown vs. Board of Education
decision was deleted from the episode. This happened on May 17, 1954,
thus giving us the Leap date!
Ian mentions that Georges Island asylum was shuttered in the 1970's.
This is a reference to the film "Shutter Island" which also took place
in this location. No actual asylum was ever located on Georges Island.
This episode has the most visual effects to date and caused the
promotional screener usually sent to the press to be delayed until just
hours before live-air. Several hologram fades and handlink projections
are used!
Nanrisa Lee got Covid-19 during the filming of this episode, which is
why she did not appear.
Writer Annelise Kollevoll Medina tweeted this
photo of herself holding the Handlink!

Susan Diol once again reprises her role as
Beth Calavicci.
Characters
who appeared (or were mentioned) in Classic Series episodes: Beth Calavicci
Songs
& Music: "Mr.
Sandman" by The Chordettes plays as
Ben Leaps in.
"Sh-Boom" by The Chords plays as Ben sits with the other patients.
"Rapture" by Malory plays as Janis reveals Ziggy is the mole.
Say
What? Ben's host, Liam is
undercover in the city he lives in and using his real name. This
doesn't seem like a great idea!
The schedule for the asylum states that lunch is a 12:00AM (it should
have been listed as PM.)
How is Elaine at the exact
spot at the exact time where Ben, Martinez and Judith are escaping?
Janis was put on house arrest with her mother, who she had recently
drugged?
Magic's phone appears to already be cracked before Janis steps on it.
It's too bad Ben doesn't control who he Leaps into. If he did, he could
have Leaped into Dr. Mueller and just released the patients and turned
himself over to the police, avoiding this entire issue!
Quotable Quotes:
"In the
meantime, maybe the universe wants you to get a good night's sleep." -Addison to Ben
Walter/Orderly: "Just sitting here,
mumbling to yourself... what's it like talking to somebody who really
isn't there?"
Ben: "Frustrating."
Addison to Ian:
"Thank Ziggy for me!" Ian (in computer voice):
"You are welcome, Addison."
Addison: "Evil
Leapers?" Ian: "Um-hmmm.
Yeah. Apparently, Sam Beckett had run-ins with other leapers. The
report says that Evil Leapers were leaping to put wrong what once went
right." Addison: "Ok so
the opposite of Ben. Martinez is there to hurt people?" Ian: "I don't
know. Something doesn't make sense."
Meuller to Ben: "I've
been looking for a subject like you. One who's mind I can study on the
table while I keep you alive."
Magic to Janis:
"When I restarted this project, I swore to your father that we'd never
lose another Leaper! I'm sorry if this goes against whatever you and
Ben agreed to, but I'm not breaking my promise to Al."
"You're a threat to my greater mission. My orders were to stop you
before we crossed again. Goodbye, Ben." -Martinez to Ben
"I knew I had to join it (Quantum
Leap). Righting wrongs that were made. Saving lives that were lost. I
couldn't imagine a more honorable way to spend my life. Or a better man
to spend it with."
-Addison
"Admiral, do you seriously think we
can win a war without sacrifice?"
-Janis to Magic
