The first stand-alone episode of QUANTUM LEAP and it's quickly establishing the formula: the strong sense of time and place, the repartee and humour arising from Al's presence, the shocking jump at the climax, the romance. This one's still a little odd as it sees Sam attempting to meddle with his own lifetime - as any QUANTUM LEAP fan knows, that's a definite no-no - while the main plot is rather slim. However, a young and lovely Teri Hatcher gets a thumbs up and the performances are already more assured.
