Eliza Taylor plays his ex-girlfriend Hannah, and Connor Esterson plays her son Jeffrey. He meets them again while trying to save them from a huge fire. Ben is driving a racing stock car in the second part of the show. He wants to beat a threat from the future and save the whole Quantum Leap program.
Quantum Leap Season 2 Episode 13 Recap
Jennifer (James Frain) finally gets what he wants after 50 years of planning to get back at Ben and the Quantum Leap Project for “killing his father.” He wants to force Ben to swap, change his past to help himself, and jail Ben for good. But Ben knows that destroying young Jeffrey’s computer, which is the start of his tech job and plans for revenge, will only make things worse. Instead, Ben says sorry for something that happened in the past and asks young Jeffrey to help save a life. He does this to appeal to the kid’s pain and stop something bad from happening again. This action makes things better for Jeffrey and the future.
By ending young Jeffrey’s grudge in the past, Ben changes the course of events for the better. As Jeffrey ages, he becomes a friend and donor to the Quantum Leap Project, but he never breaks into HQ. In the original timeline, Jeffrey’s thugs shot and killed Jenn, but at the end of the episode, she is shown to be living and well.
Magic is still running the program in the new reality. He is in charge of the Quantum Leap project. The fact that he was forced to quit earlier in the season has been wiped, so he can keep leading the team. The new reality shows that Magic and Beth are still dating happily, so their relationship hasn’t changed. There is still love between Beth and Magic, and Janis Calavicci (Georgina Reilly) is doing very well in Hawaii.
One of the best parts of the episode is when characters Beth and Janis Calavicci, who are related to the original series, talk about how Sam Beckett’s actions in the past made it possible for them to live in the present.
Beth and Janis Calavicci, two characters who are linked to the original series, also go through changes in their lives. In the changed past, Beth and Al are happily married and have several children, one of whom is Janis. In the first season, Sam Beckett jumped back in time to tell Beth that Al was still alive and waiting for her, which led to this ending. Beth and Al’s path changed after they learned this, and they now live in a different reality where Janis lives.
Hannah and Ben’s Farewell
In 1970, Hannah and Ben sadly say goodbye. Hannah is thankful that Ben sent her the letter telling her that her husband had died. She loved the extra time she had with him. She is sure that Ben will be able to use her code to get back to the future he wants. Even though they had a strong bond, they both knew that their time together was special but short.
Addison and Ben’s Reunion
In the season finale, there are signs that Addison (Caitlin Bassett) and Ben might get back together. Addison offers to swap places with Ben as the new jumper, and the fact that they are both in the past at the same time makes me wonder about their future. When two different people jump together, does it mess up the flow of time? The fact that they are back together makes the future look bright and exciting.
