Sam leaps into the body of executive secretary Samantha Stormer during a time rife with sexual harrassment that hadn’t yet been challenged or even given a name.
—Michael Main
You know, this is degrading. First he chases me around the office, then he says I gotta wear lipstick

  1. Time Travel Trivia—Sam first leapt into Samantha Stormer at the end of “Play It Again, Seymour” [s01e09], but in the next episode, “Honeymoon Express” [s02e01], he’s not in Samantha’s body. So what happened? We believe that God realized that Al was in immediate need of help to obtain continued funding for Project Quantum Leap, so he temporarily took leap Sam out of Samantha Stormer and into Diane McBride’s new husband (with a brief stop to rescue Ginger) because helping Diane on the Honeymoon Express train indirectly helped Al obtain the needed funding. Eventually, in this episode, God did arrange for Sam to come back to Samantha Stormer and her bathtub.
