Sometimes just saving someone's life isn't enough. The boy needs help with not only his physical life, but his emotional life too. This is another good example of a mission not being accomplished in one leap.
 
This story used the idea of two leaps to solve a problem quite well, in my opinion. Sam was able to help a young boy (twice), and make friends with Kitty all in one Leap! This was a fun episode to read about, and the epilouge about the next episode was also sehr interessant (I have effectively forgotten most of my High School Spanish, I'm afraid).
