[edit] Plot
Dan wakes up in 1994 finding himself in a wedding rehearsal, soon after he enters a bar where a woman is presumably waiting for a man she met on the World Wide Web. He helps her avoid an angry ex-boyfriend. He later discovers that her date married her and she was murdered. He saves her life in 1998. He learns that she later is arrested for murdering her husband. He returns to the same night and takes the ex-boyfriend, who is a cop, to find her. They fail to prevent her from killing her husband but she now has a witness to confirm that it was self-defense.
Meanwhile, Dan contacts Professor Elliot Langley (Tom Everett) about tachyon particles. While in the past, he mysteriously receives a phone call on his old cell phone from Doctor Langley.
[edit] Trivia
 |
Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines. The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones. |
- Spin Doctors song "Two Princes" is played at the beginning of Dan's travel.
- The episode does not explain what happened to the woman or her ex-boyfriend in the present time.
- The Priest's reaction to Dan waking up in the pew ("Oh boy") was the catchphrase of Sam Beckett on Quantum Leap.
- The appearance of the Dancing Baby on Ally McBeal in a scene set in 1997 is an anachronism. The Dancing Baby first appeared on Ally McBeal in the 1998 episode "Cro-Magnon".
