In the first episode back from the fall break, Ben is Jack Armstrong, bodyguard to 1970s music sensation Carly Farmer. Someone is trying to assassinate Carly and every time Ben prevents her death, a new time and circumstance of her demise looms soon in the future. Meanwhile, Ben and Addison and the rest of Quantum HQ grapples with Ben’s revelation that the purpose of his going rogue was to save Addison.

After our conversation, we interview QL producer and writer Drew Lindo. Drew penned this episode along with Episode 3 - Somebody Up There Likes Ben. We discuss his work on QL, his previous work, and what's in store for the rest of season 1 and beyond.

The final episode of the OG, "Mirror Image" gave us but a glimpse of the Calaviccis' changed life after Sam leapt into Beth's living room to give her enough hope to wait for Al to return from Vietnam.

Now, the new series has given us their youngest daughter, Janis, a complicated mother-daughter relationship, and just a few hints of the Calavicci family's life once Sam was lost, out of the project's reach.

Special guest, Lauren Milberger - actor, writer, podcaster, and co-host of FYI: The Murphy Brown Podcast, joins us to talk about what all this means for the lore of the Quantum Leap universe - what we know, what we don't, and what we hope to see in the new series and any future tie-in media.
