Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Abigail are about to be married, but it's held off for the sake of the search.

• Sam confronts Leta about the fire, but she denies it.

• Leta still believes Abigail is responsible for the death of her daughter and drums up a lynch mob for the missing boy until Sam directs them to where he is. It's enough and the mob dissolves and Sam leaps.

Characters

• Sam picks up Will's stutter. He is overcome with his feelings for her and they have sex. Afterward, he is no longer stuttering, telling Al that Will was gone the moment they touched and it was all him. Likewise, Abigail had a sense that when they were together, she felt nothing until something changed, having some sense of when Sam leaped in.

Trivia

The Show

• This episode starts with a "Previously on", only the second of the series (the first was "The Leap Home Part II"). While Deborah Pratt does the voiceover, it's clearly modified to indicate that it's Ziggy.

• The subtitle "For Your Love" does not appear on screen, but is still listed on the DVD set as "For Your Love - Trilogy Part 2".

Behind the Scenes

• This originally aired with Part 3 as double-length episode. Sam saying "Oh, boy" in the tag was added in syndication. In the original aired version instead it inserted an extra shot of Sam looking at himself in the mirror.
