Trilogy Pt.2 was the ninth episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam leaping along his daughter’s timeline before falling in love with her to the exclusion of reason. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss incest.

















Sam leaps into Will Kinman (Travis Fine) who has been grooming Abigail (now played by Melora Hardin) since Clayton Fuller’s death in ’55. Now engaged, the pair engage in sexual activity the night before their wedding, to Marie’s extreme disappointment but Sam’s delight.







The wedding is postponed when the Takins family report their son has gone missing and Abigail quickly becomes the prime suspect. As time passes and the townsfolk lose hope, Leta Aider rallies a lynch mob to dispense justice by the noose, with only Larry Stanton III (WK Stratton) and Sam standing between them and their victim.







Trilogy Part 2 was directed by James Whitmore Jr, the twelfth of his fifteen episodes for the show. The writer was Deborah Pratt, the seventeenth of her twenty writing credits.







In this episode Gerry and Iain considered what type of person would have a noose handy.
