In the fall finale, Ben remembers his motive for working with Janis and leaping behind the projects' backs; to save Addison.
I was a bit more of a fan of the suggestion that Janis was using an unwitting Ben for her own agenda to find Sam, but I am still open to this.
I'm starting to piece some things together into a theory. Could Sam still be part of the equation (no pun intended)?
Addison's character development has been minute and obscured thus far and I am wondering if there is a reason for that.
When Ben questions Addison's relationship with her parents in the earthquake episode she's evasive, giving the answer: "It's complicated" and I don't believe her last name has ever been revealed though names can be changed.
Could Addison be Sam's daughter? Perhaps even be Sammy Jo with a name change though I would place more of a bet on Donna, or some other relationship he created at the project whilst leaping (and perhaps even overwrote Sammy-Jo with Addison because we know he has undone relationships and lives) because I think she mentions growing up with her parents in the military and QL is a military project.
Now that I think about it, she does kind of resemble Sam on a physical level and has medical knowledge.
The name Addison itself means 'Son of Adam' which could be symbolic because as Adam was the first man, Sam was the first time traveler/the first leaper.
Addison has also revealed that her and Ben's roles had been intended to be reversed. She was meant to be the leaper and Ben the hologram. Could Addison have wanted to be the leaper to search for her father? Could Ben have perhaps wanted to save her by switching fates with her considering his own loss trauma or perhaps undo some of her trauma by finding the missing time traveler?
All right let's be real, those last suggestions are doubtful, but I think there could be a bit of merit in her being Sam's daughter.
