His beloved Addison does not understand the reasons for the actions of the guy, but in every possible way tries to help him…
“Quantum Leap ss 2”: release date, announcement
A sequel to the adventure TV show “Quantum Leap” has not yet been announced. The rating of the 1st season did not even reach the mark of 5 points out of 10. And now the showrunners face a serious task: give the project the opportunity to rehabilitate itself in the 2nd season or completely close the project?
Plot
In the 90s, the famous time traveler Dr. Sam Beckett goes on another adventure, after which no one has seen him again. Many speculate about who he became and whether he could survive at all. Sam spent too much time in different times, and now few people know who he really was. But Dr. Ben Song believes that Beckett has every chance to stay alive…
Decades passed before anyone could get as close to the secrets of travel. The main feature was that getting into any other year, the appearance changes — a person becomes one of those who lived at that time. Ben Song, along with Addison and his comrades, decided to organize another time jump, and Addison was supposed to be the test subject.

But shortly before the jump, the team learns that Ben jumped instead of his lover. Moreover, he has completely lost his memory and does not understand what is happening. Before leaving his friends, Ben changed important values in the program and did not bother to tell anyone about it. Trying to help the guy return, Addison takes the form of a hologram and comes to him.
The girl cannot tell more than it is necessary, therefore she is limited to general phrases from the category “you are doing everything for the common good.” In this time frame, Ben must infiltrate the bank robbers and defuse a bomb that could take dozens of lives. With the help of Addison, Ben gets the job done, but instead of returning to his own time, he disappears…
