A Tale of Two Sweeties – Episode 87

A Tale of Two Sweeties was the twelfth episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam leaping into a bigamist whose worlds are about to collide in spectacular fashion. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss marital bliss.

Sam leaps into Marty Elroy, a travelling salesman with a wife in New York and another in Florida. Travelling ‘home’ to spend time with Ellen (Mary Lou Childs) and their kids Marty Jr (Michael Bellisario) and Mary (Shay Astar), he’s surprised at the airport by second with Rachel (Jill Tracy) and their kids Josh (JD Daniels) and Jessica (Ashley Peldon).

Matters take a sinister twist when bookie’s henchmen Vic (Larry Manetti) and Gus (Jack Yates) accost Sam and demand $2,000, but when a longshot comes in and his fortunes change it becomes apparent what direction he has to go to ensure neither wife is left disappointed.

A Tale of Two Sweeties was directed by Christopher Hibler, the third of his four episodes behind the camera. The writer was Robin Bernheim, the third of her five writing credits.

In this episode Gerry and Iain considered the nature of farce.
