You can check out more on that alternate ending here in the meantime, tune in to SYFY Rewind’s Friday marathon of Quantum Leap episodes (including “Mirror Image”) or watch the original series in full on Peacock. An alternate version of the finale was planned one that changed things up enough to function as a Season 5 segue into Season 6 rather than put a final a bow on the entire series. To serve as a series finale, “Mirror Image” felt a little rushed at the time, thanks to the late decision not to renew Quantum Leap for a sixth season (and perhaps give Sam more breathing room to properly find his way back home). Rather than show viewers the happily ever-after result of Sam’s last series leap, the episode ends in wordy exposition: The infamous title card appears, informing viewers that Beth and Al indeed stayed together (and even had four daughters)! As for Sam, fans were treated to the underwhelming info dump that he never returned home, remaining in the flow of time to leap wherever history needed him. It’s a sobering thought one that Sam can’t fathom on its surface - though it helps him muster the resolve to correct the one missed connection that matters to him most: leaping back to Beth’s living room in 1969 to let her know the real Al isn’t dead. McGill’s all-but-omniscient bartender (whose name just so happens to be ‘Al’) suggests Sam can return home anytime, and that he’s really been traveling under his own force of will all these years. All the bar banter seems to be building steam toward some hidden revelation, before Sam finds himself summoned to intervene when a workplace emergency breaks out at the nearby coal mine. Tons of uncanny conversations and coincidences follow, all with strangers who appear oddly well-informed about Sam’s former leaps, all with familiar names and faces from prior adventures.

Watch These 5 Critical Episodes The episode takes its name from a Quantum Leap first: Sam gazes into the mirror behind the mysterious, more-than-he-seems bartender (played to perfection by Bruce McGill), sees his own reflection, and realizes he’s made his first-ever leap as himself - rather than jumping, as he always had, into another person’s body. Sam’s initial leap to start “Mirror Image” places him at a coal miners’ bar in 1953 Pennsylvania, falling not only on Sam’s birthday, but possibly even at the precise moment of his birth. Though Sam’s 1969 leap into Beth’s living room proved to be the finale’s main event, it came at the end of some of the most surreal events ever to unfold in Quantum Leap, all occurring earlier in the episode in a different time and place. Earlier in the series Sam had a chance to tell Beth, but chose not to, for fear of altering the original timeline. The plot of “Mirror Image” gives Sam the chance to right a wrong that hits close to home: Saving the union of Al and his first love Beth a marriage that ended in the series’ original timeline, thanks to a wartime mix-up in which Beth remarried after believing her first love to be dead while he was a prisoner of war.
