Note: As with most ''Series/QuantumLeap'' episodes, this episode ended with Sam leaping to another time and person. Unlike most episodes, this leap was not to the time and person of the next episode.

'''Season 2, Episode 4:'''
!What Price Gloria
->'''Sam''': Two hours as Samantha and I knew that the lyrics to “I Enjoy Being a Girl” were not written by one.
Written by Deborah Pratt
Directed by Alan J. Levi
Airdate: October 25, 1989.
------------
October 16, 1961
For the first time, Sam steps into the high heels of a woman, Samantha, who has to deal with the constant sexual advances of her philandering boss while keeping Samantha’s starry-eyed roommate from making a tragic mistake.
!Tropes:
* AdmiringTheAbomination: A low-key example - Buddy’s boss likes the Ford Edsel, despite the car’s landmark failure.
* BigNo: Buddy’s response when Sam tells him that he is going to prove to Buddy that he’s a man.
* BrickJoke: Buddy dismisses Californians as “avocado-growers”. Later, Al tells Sam that Gloria and her future husband will move to California and grow avocados.
* DrivenToSuicide: When Gloria finds out that Buddy will never leave his wife, she almost takes this route.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In this episode, Al sees Sam as Samantha and is attracted to him. In later episodes, whenever it is brought up, it is stated that Al sees Sam as himself and not the person he leaped into.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: After having some confused feelings for Sam-as-Samantha, Al comes to the realization that he does love Sam like a brother.
* LadyInAPowerSuit: Al tells Sam that Samantha will eventually become one of these, leading the company’s entire car design program.
* TooDumbToLive: In the business world, anyway. Buddy completely dismisses the California automotive market. Even in 1961, he should have known it was the fastest-growing market in America. Furthermore, he’s banking the company’s success on a new car design featuring an oversized chassis, fins, excessive use of chrome and an unnecessarily powerful engine with an atrocious rate of fuel consumption.
