Deliver Us From Evil was the seventh episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam coming face to face with someone he could not have imagined meeting. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss their greatest enemies.

Sam leaps into Jimmy LaMotta for the second time. He meets a familiar face in Jimmy’s brother Frank (John D’Aquino) at the docks where they work, but on returning home he finds that Frank’s marriage to Connie (Laura Harrington) is on the rocks and Corey (Ryan McWhorter) is on the verge of running away from home.

Taking things at face value, Sam tries to reason with Frank and Connie, but when he grabs her it turns out she is in fact Alia (Renée Coleman) another time travelling leaper, with a hologram called Zoey (Carolyn Seymour) only she can see or hear. Sam thinks they can work together to stop Frank leaving Connie for his work colleague Shirley (Kristen Cloke), but Alia and Zoey have another agenda.

Deliver us From Evil was directed by Bob Hulme, the second of his three episodes for the show. The writers were Robin Bernheim, the second of her five episodes, Tommy Thompson, the eleventh of his thirteen stories, and Deborah Pratt, the fifteenth of her twenty writing credits.

In this episode Gerry and Iain considered which of them is good and which is evil.
