[edit] Plot Overview

Leap Date: November 8, 1965

Sam's a Mafia hitman who's in love with a beautiful young woman--who, unfortunately for Sam, is actually the Mafia don's girlfriend. Meanwhile, Al and the people at the Project try to get Sam to be able to come home by asking him to perform a series of odd experiments.

[edit] Notes

This is one of the few episodes to show Sam leaping more than once in the same episode. Other episodes include Genesis Part 2, Honeymoon Express, The Leap Back, Lee Harvey Oswald Parts 1 and 2, Deliver Us from Evil, and Mirror Image.

[edit] Behind the Scenes

This was actually the second episode filmed, but show creator Donald Bellisario requested that it be pushed back in the rotation, since he thought that the double leap might confuse new viewers.

[edit] Music

Sam sings for the first time in this episode, covering "Volare" even though he doesn't quite know the words. Future songs are played with less humor, and allow Scott Bakula's real singing voice to shine.
