Revenge of the Evil Leaper

Revenge of the Evil Leaper was the seventeenth episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam leaping into an inmate facing execution for a crime she did not commit, while Alia joins him and looks to avoid being detected by Lothos. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss prison etiquette.

Sam leaps into Liz Tate (Cynthia Steele), an inmate at a notorious women’s prison. Alia (Renée Coleman) leaps with him, into fellow prisoner Angel Jensen (Laura O’Loughlin). The two women are implicated in the recent death of another inmate and the head guard, Sophie (Katherine Cortez) isn’t ready to give them any respite.

Sam hypnotises Alia to protect her from discovery, leading to Zoey (Carolyn Seymour) leaping into warden Clifton Meyers (Sam Scarber) with assistance from her holographic colleague, Thames (Hinton Battle). After hearing an account of the death from an inmate called Fiddler (Rosanna DeSoto), Sam and Alia get help from a sympathetic guard named Vivian (Barbara Montgomery) to stage an escape.

Revenge of the Evil Leaper was directed by Debbie Allen, her second and final episode of the show. The writer was Deborah Pratt, the last of her twenty writing credits.

In this episode Gerry and Iain considered consequences.
