First look at Quantum Leap season 2 episode 3 as Ben Song meets a mysterious woman

By

There’s never a dull moment for Dr. Ben Song (Raymond Lee) on NBC’s Quantum Leap. Every time Ben travels through time, he leaps into the life of a stranger and sees someone else’s face in the mirror. Last week, Ben was a bank teller named Lorena Chaves, and in Quantum Leap season 2 episode 3, “Closure Encounters,” Ben is leaping into the life of a government agent who is investigating extraterrestrial activity. That might not be the strangest thing that Ben sees this week. In our exclusive preview scene from the episode, Ben meets Hannah Carson (Eliza Taylor), a new player that he’ll be seeing a lot of this season.

Taylor is joining the cast on a full-time basis, so this isn’t some one-off guest appearance. That also means Hannah is likely putting on a front for Ben in this scene. Alternatively, Hannah may not even be aware that Ben is a leaper. From all outward appearances, Ben is simply a normal man.

So who is Hannah? From a purely speculative perspective, there are three possibilities. In the first, Hannah is someone who may be aligned with Project Quantum Leap from a different point in time. That would make her a potential friend and ally to Ben, once they discover they are both leapers. The next alternative is that Hannah is somehow tied to Leaper X, Richard Martinez (Walter Perez), the man who was sent back in time to destroy Quantum Leap last season.

Finally, the most enticing possibility is a callback to the original Quantum Leap series. Under this scenario, Hannah’s leaps back in time would be under the control of the malevolent A.I. known as Lothos. That would make Hannah the new Evil Leaper, someone who is sent back in time to ensure that tragedies and terrible things happen to good people. The literal opposite number to Sam Beckett in the first series, and now to Ben as well.

We’ll learn more about Hannah when Quantum Leap season 2 episode 3 premieres this Wednesday, October 18 on NBC. The episode will also be streaming on Peacock as well.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
