* NamesTheSame: [[invoked]] Two-times over: After Sam stirs awake, Al informs Sam that he has leapt into one Sam Beederman, and remarks that he can use his own name in this leap. However, while panicking over where he is, Sam eventually states his actual name. Namely, [[Recap/QuantumLeapS2E04WhatPriceGloria "Samantha Stormer".]]



* WhamLine: [[invoked]] After Sam stirs awake from getting shocked at the start of the episode, he begins panicking and is on the verge of a breakdown, wanting to get out of the mental asylum. Dr. Masters is trying to see if Sam remembers who he is, while Al is trying to feed him information about who he lept into, [[NamesTheSame Sam Beederman]]. Sam proceeds to snap at Al, stating that's ''not'' his name.

* WrongGenreSavvy: One of the doctors observing Sam at the hospital assumes that the reason why Sam keeps shifting through personalities is because the electroshock treatment triggered some repressed childhood trauma in "Mr. Beederman", causing a mental floodgate to open. One of the other doctors immediately causes this into question once it's brought up; there's nothing in Beederman's files that suggests childhood trauma.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Nurse Chatham was present when Butch administered the original electroshock that caused Sam's personality problems, and yet did nothing to stop him. The guilt starts really getting to her the worse Sam gets, and reaches its peak when Sam is being prepped for ''another'' round of electroshock, and screams that he needs the same voltage Butch gave him before.

Possibly out of fear of repercussion for not being able to stop him, she doesn't tell the doctors what happened either. The guilt starts really getting to her the worse Sam gets, and reaches its peak when Sam is being prepped for ''another'' round of electroshock, and screams that he needs the same voltage Butch gave him before.

I know Adult Fear was dewicked, but I think this example applies under this other trope name.
