A Decent Proposal

It is 1981, the time of the Royal Wedding. Ben leaps into the body of Eva Sandoval. She is in a bar and being pestered, he is no match for her. He is also the one Eva and her partner Jake need to capture.

The biggest surprise for Ben is not that he has leapt into a body of a woman. It is that Jake, her fellow bounty hunter is also her lover. He proposes which catches Ben off guard.

Back at base. Magic makes a revealtion to Ian Wright. When he was in the Vietnam war, Sam Beckett had leapt into his body. He saved his life and that of Sam's brother and the rest of his platoon.

A Decent Proposal is the best of the new series so far. The balance has been found between the story of the week of the original series and the series arc.

Ben starts to get some of his memories back. I do wonder if the early 1980s setting made it feel like this was riffing more from the original Quantum Leap.
