What’s up, dudes? Nicholas Pepin of Pop Culture Roulette and Jeremy Phelps the Alamo City Santa  to talk about the 2nd Christmas episode of Quantum Leap “Promised Land!” Do we talk physics? Not really, but we discuss Scott Bakula for sure!

“Promised Land” was the 11th episode in Season 5 of Quantum Leap, and the 86th overall series episode. Written by Gillian Horvath and Tommy Thompson, the episode, which was directed by Scott Bakula, first aired on NBC-TV on December 15, 1992. Sam leaps into Elk Ridge, Indiana on December 22, 1971 as "Willie" Walters, Jr., one of three brothers who are robbing the town bank. The bank loaned them an exorbitant amount of money, but with failing crop yields, they resort to robbery in order to pay it off.

Meanwhile, Sam struggles with his emotions of returning to his hometown and his relationship with his own father. Eventually, he manages to escape the bank and uncover the reason the bank lent money to these farmers who could not possibly pay it back. Sam confronts the swindler and  prevents the brothers from being killed when they try to escape. Joy to the world! Oh, and he runs into his dad and gets to say what he always wishes he had said.

Confusion and disorientation? Yep. Investigation? Got that too. Death prevention? As only Dr. Sam Beckett can! So put on your white body suit and time travel into this episode on Quantum Leap “Promised Land!”
