Quantum Leap: A Little Miracle

🎄It’s 1990… or 1962… and a quantum physicist forgot to powder his boss’s underwear.

This Scrooge Sunday edition of the Advent Calendar House involves time travel of a different sort as we follow Dr. Sam Beckett on a mission to save a mission, and the soul of the man trying to tear it down.

* CONTENT WARNING: This episode briefly discusses the death of actor Charles Rocket and the would-be death of his Scrooge-like character, Michael Blake.
