Thank you striking writers for causing one of the best shows of late to be "not picked up" for anymore episodes. I was a ruluctant follower, but got sucked into it. I was thinking "Yeah, I liked it the first time when it was called 'Quantum Leap'". I was wrong and I'll admit it here.
So, we'll have to only imagine, that the brothers joined forces for good, and became the best of friends, and everyone got over the fact that they shared a woman at one point. But isn't San Francisco a beautiful city. To see more of the city, watch Eli Stone on ABC. It's cute and clever in a different way.

Who hasn't lost their camera, usually not too much of a problem unless you lose a 2007 camera in 1984. Then you not only lose racy pictures of your wife, but you also lose your son. Seems 1984 isn't ready for 2007 technology, although when he was in the "new' 2007 the nanotech was pretty cool.
So after losing his camera and missing dinner with the sister in law, he comes in and finds a strange little girl wandering around calling him "Daddy". Where is his son, where is Zach?
He takes his wife behind closed doors for a chat. She remembers everything that has happened lately, so they go over the "conception" of their son, never happened, is computer crashed and they didn't do it until later that night, resulting in a girl not a boy.
Of course the new turn of events causes some tension, Katie isn't aware they ever had a son, and is vehement that he not change a thing, of course when he rights his wrong she won't remember the daughter.
Sister in law convinces Katie to see a psychic, the psychic immediately pegs Dan as special and asks for his birth date, then she tells him Zach isn't where he's been looking. this freaks out Katie who is the only other person that Dan has told about Zach.
Dan finds out that the boy who found his camera ended up missing and presumed dead shortly after refusing to return his camera, he calls the boys mom and finds out she has gone blind due to diabetes.
Dan and Olivia get sucked into 1984 and interrupt the sale of the camera. But they were wrong about the man they thought had bought it, turns out the boy had gotten a better offer. They steal the camera and destroy it, disappearing about the time people start shooting and the real bad girl gets it.
Dan returns to work to find a picture of his son, he "googles" the boy and finds out he's discovered a nano type thing that will help his mother see. We can all sleep well tonight.
Jack who has been looking into the fake FBI investigation finds a picture that he show to Dan. It is Dan and Dr. Langley when Dan was a boy. He shows it to Dan, when the psychic comes to tell Dan that he was born under a comet, and it's only happened one other time in the last 100 years. March 2, 1923. Olivia's birthday. We ended the show with Dan on Dr. Langley's office steps, Dr. Langly denying all knowledge of who Dan is.
Dan walks away, but the share a "look". Tune in Wednesday, for another two for one.

Dan gets sucked into a 1974 key party with a 2004 bottle of wine, a very expensive one he bought for Kate's birthday. Apparently the most exciting thing at the key party was the live news on Nixon. The hosts of the key party had a surprise visit from their college aged daughter, Abby, who sees her mom hooking up with one of the neighbors, this throws the daughter into a tailspin. When Dan returns to 2007 he "googles" her and finds that she's been missing for 30 years.
(side note about key parties for those of you who don't want too much tv. Key parties happened in the 70's where the guys would put their keys in a bowl at the beginning of the party and the girls would go pick keys and go home with whomever they belonged to.)
We see Kate at a bar with her friends who inform her that the workplace is where most husbands stray, she defends Dan and says they are staying in for a nice dinner that he's cooking.
Dan wakes up on a beach in 1974, he wakes up just in time to see the daughter with a flat tire, about to get help from the man they believe to have abducted her. Dan steps in and the truck drives off. Discovering she has no spare, Abby decides to hitch it. Up drive some hippies and she drives off with them.
When Dan returns and "googles" her again, he cannot find any information on her, so he calls her parents only to find that she's no longer missing, she's been in prison for 30 years.
Jack is trying to backtrack his statement to the FBI, but they proceed with a warrant to search Dan and Kate's house. Dan is leaving for work and protesting that his bag is separate from the warrant, not knowing Kate had taken the money and put it in his jacket already, they search the bag and let him go. As soon as he walks out the door he finds himself in a 1974 diner with Livia. Abby's hippie friends are next to them, and they are now calling her Angela. They begin a conversation with the hippies and explain that they are time travelers from 2007. The hippies think that it's soo cool. On their way out Angela grabs some money off of a table and Dan prevents the diner owner from shooting her.
While cleaning up from the FBI search Kate finds a picture of Livia that looks like it's from the 40's. She shares this information with Dan, who is at work. They run into Dan's boss who wants to know why the FBI is poking around. Dan tells Kate he's "got to go" but the boss won't let him slip away, so Kate distracts the boss and Dan vanishes back to a 1974 liquor store that is being robbed. Angela has got a shotgun pointed at Dan, Livia and Dan have the conversation about when she is. Turns out Livia travels to the future, Dan travels to the past. She got stuck in the 80's and 90's where they originally met. Oh yeah, we're here to prevent Abby from going to prison. Abby it's time to leave, her boyfriend is mad, Dan throws around some hijacking money and Abby leaves out the back door. We hear sirens approaching, and Dan and Livia make a run for it while the other hippies clean out the register. Dan returns to 2007 and feels compelled to buy a paper. Abby Armstrong is a politician and quite a successful one at that.
Jack gets called back to the FBI. He appears clean but some evidence of his had been tampered with. Remembering a couple of episodes ago when Jack took a statement from a 1995 cabbie who was paid in 2004 money, the suspect never caught but had the physical description of Dan.
Jack goes to Dan and Kate's to talk, Dan yells at Jack saying "you didn't believe me when I told you so get out." Jack leaves to drink alone, and spends an overly faded 20, from 2004. Dan tells Kate about all the new things he's learned from Livia about time travel.
The professor who's an expert on Tachyons, the reason they can time travel, warns Dan not to tell anyone about the "book" he's writing. Telling Dan the FBI took all of his research to fight terrorism. Making us all wonder how the professor is involved in all of this and wondering how he affected Livia in 1948.

Jack is watching Zach while Dan and Katie go to a Correspondents Dinner. Dan and Katie had a wonderful time, but forgot to leave dinner plans for the Vasser boys. Zach informs Uncle Jack that Dad has "monopoly money" in the closet so they can order pizza. Jack, like any good sitter, snoops and finds the $100 or so thousand dollars that Dan got from the missing plane hijacker. Jack takes a Benjamin to do some detective work on, and the boys enjoy an enjoyable dinner of chili dogs.
When Dan and Katie return home, Katie tells Dan she'd like to go back to work. (Didn't tell him she's already interviewing) Dan says we'll talk about it when I finish the recycling. But before they can, Dan, while taking out the recycling (Thanks NBC for going Green this week), gets sucked back to 1999.
He finds himself asleep in the backseat of a car. Surprised driver thinks he's getting carjacked. But wait, Dan is there to stop him from being carjacked by the punks really intending to carjack him. Oh no, surprised driver gets shot and carjackers find Dan's press pass.
Later at the hospital 2007 Dan calls 1999 Jack to find out why someone is trying to shoot surprised driver. He's the ONLY witness against some gang, court is tomorrow. Will Dan have to spend the night in 1999? Driver has to get to court. 2007 Dan goes to 1999 Dan's apartment, only to find it ransacked. He's not there to protect the driver/witness, he's there to protect his future.
Dan's dead fiance'/co-journeyer, has to help him get with his future wife. So 2007 Dan and dead Liv follow 1999 Dan around, oh yeah Dan has a gambling problem that Katie saves him from. Oh no, apartment ransacker stole $20,000 cash from 1999 Dan's apartment. Where or where will they get the money. Liv gets sucked into 2007 Dan and Katies closet, where she overhears Katie and Jack arguing about the money in the closet. Liv takes the money and vanishes back to 1999. Katie's wondering where the 100 large went.
A little time travel note before we go on. We can determine that Dan and Katie do get together because Liv couldn't have journeyed into their house had they not.
Now 2007 Dan has to beat up 1999 Dan, get him back to 1999 Dan's apartment, get back to the illicit poker game, follow the carjacker/apartment ransacker to the hospital, foil carjackers attempt to kill the driver/witness, get back to the poker game, launder $20,000 hijacking money, drink himself blind, wait for Katie, and find a clever way to "disappear" before she sees him with his 1999 self. Whoa, you thought you had a rough job.
We see 1999 Katie watching 1999 Dan sleep it off. We fade to 2007 Dan watching 2007 Katie sleep. AAAAHHHH poetic. But wait there's more. The FBI is at Jack's desk wondering where he got this flagged $100 bill. Jack holds firm for all of 30 seconds, he can't disclose his informant, oh yes he can. "I got it from my brother."

These are shows that have been cancelled, much to our dismay. Here's what we had to say back in the day.
