Trilogy Pt.3 was the tenth episode of Quantum Leap’s fifth season to air, with Sam continuing to leap along his lover/daughter’s timeline as Abigail faces one more murder accusation. In this episode Gerry and Iain discuss proper court procedure.

















Sam now leaps into Larry Stanton III and is immediately faced by his wife, Sherilyn (Diana Bellamy). She’s unimpressed when a now aged Marie appears looking for help to represent Abigail in a murder trial following the death of Leta Aider, facing off against legendary prosecutor Denton Waters (James Greene) in front of Judge Shiner (Parley Baer).







Discovering he fathered a child with Abigail during his last leap, Sam commits fully to the defence of his client, while starting to build a relationship with young Sammie Jo (Kimberly Cullum). Although he manages to draw some lucid testimony from Laura Fuller, it is a crucial document that appears to hold the key to keeping Abigail out of the electric chair.







Trilogy Part 3 was directed by James Whitmore Jr, the thirtenth of his fifteen episodes for the show. The writer was Deborah Pratt, the eighteenth of her twenty writing credits.







In this episode Gerry and Iain considered Sam’s disturbing pattern of behaviour.
