- Quotes
Dr. Sam Beckett: You know, Al, this ghost hunting equipment that Dr. Mintz has placed around the estate, it's not bad for '71. It's designed to pick up a wide spectrum of electrical activity, including brain waves. Get a load of this. It picked up my leap-in last night.

Featured review
This particular episode....
Growing up I never heard of this show. It was like 2011 or later, when my husband (back then boyfriend) wanted me to find this show for him. He tried to explain the concept but at the time he confused the heck out of me. So in 2011 or later I was already hooked on ABC Family's show, "Pretty Little Liars." Still 1 of my top 10 favorites! So then I found Quantum Leap for my hubby & when I saw the title for this particular episode, I was like "hmm." "A portrait for Troian." Troian isn't a common name. & at the time I only heard of the name Troian as in Troian Bellisario! Spencer from Pretty Little Liars. So the 2nd episode after this episode on Quantum Leap, I see at the bottom names, Troian Bellisario! & I finally googled everything & felt so dumb not putting it together before! Quantum Leap's creator Donald Bellisario! & in this episode both of Troian's parents star in it! (LOL! Hahaha!) But I gotta say though, Deborah Pratt's (Troian's real mother) who plays the character "Troian" in this episode, her performance was awful... Laughable even! Somewhat worse than a Soap Opera actresses performance! Thank goodness Troian's acting is awesome! Learning all that made me enjoy Quantum Leap a little bit better, but the reboot, NOPE!!!
