Personal Review:
This is my favorite episode of Quantum Leap. Since I was very young when Quantum Leap started I could not remember all the episodes. But over the years that Quantum Leap has not been on, one episode has stuck in my mind, Another Mother. The episode was really good and very powerful.

Best Line:
Kevin: "Mom, How?"
Sam: "Girl Scouts. Come on."
Kevin: "Girl Scouts? Awesome."

Best Scene:
The best scene is when Sam and Kevin are talking and playing ping pong in the garage, Teresa comes to the door with Wooky. Teresa tells Sam that she and Wooky made a painting. Teresa and Wooky are both covered in splatters of paint.

Worst thing about the episode:
Al never went back to see Teresa like he promised he would, in any other episode of Quantum Leap. However, in the novel "Angels Unaware," Al does revisit the character! 

Say What?
At the beginning of the episode, the dog pulls a plate of food onto the floor. In the next shot, the plate is back on the counter.

A boom microphone appears briefly in the scene as Sam and Al stand up when talking with Teresa.

The song "Shake It Up" was not released until November in 1981.

Al's reflection can be seen in the oven door in a kitchen scene.

Instead of just saying "Gooshie, center me on Kevin", Al asks for Jackie's address.

Ziggy has records of when Ox lost his virginity. This seems unlikely!

Sam's shirt bounces back and forth betwen being tucked and untucked in the fight scene towards the end. 

Kevin gets bruised in the van. However the next day he is magically healed.
