First of all, Addison (Caitlin Bassett) and Tom (Peter Gadiot) begin the episode by telling the others of their engagement—and plans to get married that day! “I planned a wedding once. Once was enough,” she explains.

She doesn’t get the prospect to inform Ben the information, however perhaps that’s a great factor, contemplating she decides on the finish of the episode that Tom was proper and she or he did get caught up within the second. She wished him to brush her away, “but I just think we both underestimated what me being back here would mean.

She affords to remain in Jenn’s (Nanrisa Lee) spare room, however he’s going to go again to DC.
“I knew I was rushing you,” Tom says. “I knew it, that the more time you spent in the past, the farther apart things felt here in the present. I started to worry about the future.” Addison insists it isn’t about Ben. “You take that time. I think you’ll come to a different conclusion,” Tom says earlier than strolling away. So, what’s going to that imply for Addison and Ben?

But the most important shock comes again on the challenge.

Now, Gideon is aware of there’s a mole, Rachel alerts Ian, and he has somebody looking everybody’s workplaces. “Once he finds me, he finds you, he finds everything,” she warns them. Jenn tries to discover a hacker to tangle with Gideon, however nobody desires to chunk. “That was the only way to find Ben,” she reminds Ian of the selection they made.
The episode ends with Rachel strolling into Quantum Leap, however there’s no time for Ian to be relieved. “He’s here,” Rachel says proper earlier than Gideon walks in—and James Frain performs him! “She’s fine. I told her I wasn’t upset. I totally get it. Water, bridge. Jenn, it’s good to meet you,” he says, strolling over and introducing himself. “Wow, look at this place. This is something.
