Warning! The next comprises spoilers for the Quantum Leap episode “Secret Historical past.” Learn at your personal danger!
Quantum Leap Season 2’s “Secret Historical past” was an enormous one for Dr. Ben Track, who could have already (so to talk) discovered a brand new love curiosity after the shock break up with Addison. This stunning improvement got here after the re-appearance of Hannah Carson, performed by new Season 2 common Eliza Taylor, who shared a kiss with on the finish of the episode, sparking all method of agog reactions and questions on what it means for the long run. Luckily, CinemaBlend chatted instantly with Taylor and co-star Raymond Lee in regards to the smoochy second, and heard their ideas on what’s occurring with every character.
Dr. Ben Track is having a tough season, as he lately realized he was lacking for 3 years, and his fiancé Addison is now in a critical relationship with one other man. The breakup is fairly contemporary to the time traveler, which had me flip to Raymond Lee for solutions on what’s occurring in Ben’s thoughts when he went for that kiss. Here is how he defined that impulse:
What I believe is happening with Ben is he has spent about twenty leaps not having the ability to bodily be with anyone, not having the ability to bodily contact anybody. And he is come near loads of simply intense moments and right here comes somebody who he finds a right away attraction with in a approach that’s stimulating to him. I imagine there, I do not know what the share is of physicists on the market, however I can think about there are lots of, and particularly while you’re leaping by time and also you’re working into anyone once more. You simply have a really particular pocket of overlapping pursuits. And, , Hannah is an interesting particular person, and it simply made sense for that attraction to be there.
Co-showrunners Martin Gero and Dean Georgaris hinted the place Season 2 is headed to CinemaBlend, and likewise famous there is a pure connection between Ben and Hannah. Raymond Lee went a step additional to level out how statistically inconceivable it’s that two physicists would cross paths twice on a leap and the robust attraction that’s created between them consequently. Is it destiny that these two are collectively, or is Ziggy deliberately placing Hannah in Ben’s path for a motive?
Eliza Taylor could not share what’s forward for Hannah in the remainder of Season 2, which can return the week after Thanksgiving, however she did supply some attention-grabbing perception for followers to mull over as they binge the newest episodes with a Peacock subscription. Hannah has seemingly discovered somebody she needs to know every part about, which is heartwarming and gut-wrenching on the similar time, all issues thought of. In her phrases:
I believe for Hannah, it’s extremely bittersweet, ? It is the identical type of feeling as Ben in the way in which that she’s discovered somebody who’s so like-minded and so fascinating and is doing one thing that she’s in all probability theorized about ever since she found her love for physics. So I believe that she’s lastly discovered this individual, her individual, and he is, he is gotta go, and he or she does not know if she’ll see him once more. So, very bittersweet.
Romance and time journey will be sophisticated, however there are fictional {couples} who make it work. Physician Who‘s Physician and River Track come to thoughts, however possibly it is somewhat untimely to check Ben and Hannah to that sci-fi coupling after one kiss.
In any case, one may categorize this as a rebound for Ben, who went from engaged to single in what felt to him like an instantaneous. Contemplating a part of the rationale for this breakup and bombshell time soar reveal was to deepen Season 2’s emotional storytelling, I may see Ben finally regretting or changing into conflicted after the kiss.
Sadly, it is perhaps some time earlier than we see extra of Ben and Hannah, contemplating the returning episode will present him in 1600’s Salem. Except she’s some type of witch, she in all probability will not be alive throughout that episode, and if she is, I do not like her probabilities of surviving the leap. Govt Producer Chris Grismer talked about this leap when it was revealed in the course of the trailer and famous it as a leap to be enthusiastic about. With an prolonged wait to see how issues play out, I’ve nothing else to do however be excited and surprise what else is occurring on this large season.
Quantum Leap returns with a brand new episode on Wednesday, December sixth, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Control CinemaBlend for extra on the hit NBC collection within the meantime.
