Al said his 4th wife tried to "mother" him all the time; she would cut his steak for him. That’s why he won’t eat meat. Al’s sister, Trudy, got ammonia when they were in the orphanage and they put her in a mental hospital; he never saw her again. Al appears in this episode 10 times and using the chamber door 3 times.
Ziggy is freaked out by Sam leaping into the same person twice. Dr. Beeks got a shock from Ziggy that sent her half way across the room. Ziggy is shocked when she learns about Alia. Al says that in over 80 leaps Sam never leapt into the same place more than once.

"Excuse me, excuse me for a second. Are you, are you taking to a hologram? You’re talking to a hologram, aren’t you! You are a time traveler, too."
The best scene is when Sam touches Alia and they see each other for who they really are for the first time. Then they introduce each other to their hologram friends.
"If you weren’t here, who would I steal mashed potatoes from?" "I leap back to people that I know and everything should be great, right? But everything’s wrong." "I’m really strong." "I think Ziggy has finally lost it." "I’m worried because I can’t figure out what the hell is going on." "I’m also worried because I’ve never really care about anyone you leapt into like I care about Jimmy." "It’s my job to be worried." Alia: "Who are you?" Sam: "Who are you?" "We’re not sure. Sam and I touched and then suddenly he…" "It’s almost like your memory was swiss cheesed." "Do you always think of other people first?" "Sam, I’m not Connie and you’re not Jimmy." "If he touches you again, I’ll kill him." "This could be the one that gets you home." "You bet your sweet ass I am, sweetheart." "Because she’s evil." "Sam she’s your counterpart. You’re good and she’s evil, that’s what she does." "You can’t kill me, you’d be killing yourself, Alia. I mean think about it, I only exist because you do and you because of me. If I die, it only makes since, that you would too. "You’re not evil, Alia. Whatever trapped you in time is." "Somehow we, we’ve lost two days." Sam: "What are you telling me; none of this ever happened?" Al: "No I’m not, Ziggy is telling the both of us." "She’s not gone, Al. Alia is not gone." This episode is very good. It is nice to get to see how someone has changed after Sam has leapt into that person. Two years have gone by since Sam leapt into Jimmy and you see how much of a change Sam has made. Alia is an interesting character and someone you want to see Sam battle again. |
