Great episode
"I love this episode which I have just watched yet again having decided to rewatch all of Quantum Leap. It highlights the inequality of the era in a sensitive way and it is shocking when you think this was only 70 years ago. A great episode in a great series and well worth watching...."
π‘ Did You Know?
Other than Sam, Miss Melny was the first character on the series who was able to hear Al.
