Show Notes
Our re-watch of the “Trilogy” episodes continue. Sam leaps back into Potterville, Louisiana, this time into Will Kinman. Will is now a deputy sheriff, but much more important, he’s the fiancé of Abigail Fuller. Abigail isn’t a child anymore, but is still haunted by bad luck - on the day of her and Will’s wedding, little Purvis Takins, a boy she babysat the night before, has gone missing. The town’s folk suspect foul play on her part, leading to a witch hunt. Meanwhile, Sam is head over heels in love with Abigail, and she seems to have a deep connection with him, not Will.
There’s a lot to unpack in this very “sudsy” second part of Quantum Leap’s take on Southern gothic. Is it okay that Sam gets so romantically involved with a woman he had just been a father-figure to the leap before? Does this episode stand on its own outside Parts 1 and 3? We discuss the episode, and get a little personal talking about our current Covid-19 lives.
