Lee Harvey Oswald Pt.2 was the second episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam continuing to leap along Oswald’s life towards Dallas in November ’63. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss conspiracies about conspiracies.
Sam leaps along Oswald’s timeline, offering state secrets to KGB officer Yuri Kosenko (Elyn Baskin) and Lt. Guri (Erika Amato), narrowly avoiding being present for a suicide attempt, leafleting in New Orleans and making his way to the School Book Depository in Dallas.
Meanwhile, in 1999, Oswald (Willie Garson) struggles to come to terms with being in the Waiting Room, questioning Al and trying to conceal his identity. As the two men’s minds become more tangled, Al finds it increasingly difficult to get through to Sam.
Lee Harvey Oswald Part 2 was directed by James Whitmore Jr, the tenth of his fifteen episodes for the show. Donald Bellisario was the writer.
In this episode Gerry and Iain considered justice and justifications.
