Last week on Sliders.

Who the hell are you?

Quinn Mallory.

He seems to have
absorbed some or...

or maybe all of the sub-atomic
structure of your Quinn.

I am having thoughts and
memories that I just don't understand.

Are you two people?

Oberon Geiger, he is
collapsing universes into one another.

He'll destroy all those worlds
and kill billions of people.

He has to be stopped.

Geiger is unstuck in space-time.

I'm goin' with you.

It's the only chance I got.

What about you?

I'll need a few things.

Heads up!

Nice hands, chief.

Good game, guys!
Catch you tomorrow.

- Ah!
- Make some friends?

Oh, frat guys.

Yeah, it's good to be
up and around.

I never thought I'd be
running a post pattern.

You know, I'm glad you all
are enjoying our stay here,

but your Quinn and mine are
still wrapped up in this body

and I can't get them apart
with dead lithium cells.

Easy, sister. We all
know why we're here.

Okay, we got 56 hours
left to go.

If this world's as close
to yours as you say it is,

then the Chandler Hotel
should be that way.

Okay. Well,
that's a guarantee,

'cause there's only minor fluctuations
in the quantum matrix, right?

Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!

I'd call that
a major fluctuation.

Mommy, look what I did
at school today.

I, um...

It's, it's very nice but I think
you've made a mistake, little girl.

I'm not your mom.

Aw, come on, Mom.

No, really. I'm,
I'm not your mom.

But you are my mother!

- You are my mother!
- Some mother you are.

Okay, come on. We'll
find your mom. It's okay.

It's okay, sweetie.
Let me see.

Don't get upset.

- This is a beautiful picture.
- Nadine!

Did you do this all
by yourself? Wow.

Nadine!

Listen, I think you oughta
make yourself scarce.

- Why?
- Nadine!

That's why.

Nadine!

What if you found
a portal to a parallel universe?

What if you could slide into
a thousand different worlds

where it's the same year
and you're the same person,

but everything
else is different?

And what if you can't
find your way home?

Sliders.

I'm guessing she belongs to you?

Thank you.

Honey, I told you never to leave
playcare until I came for you.

But I saw you!

She normally listens so well.

Must be her father's side
coming through.

Oh, she's no trouble
at all. She's adorable.

Oh, thank you.

- Don't forget this.
- Oh. Thank you.

Honey, did you do this for me?

It's beautiful!

Come on. Let's go. Let's
leave these people alone.

Come on.
Here we go.

But that lady
looks just like you.

Trippin'.

That was me.

That was your alternate
on this world.

Something you have to
get used to.

Does that mean there's
another one of you on this world?

Yeah and you're not
her type either, Mallory.

What's with
the attitude, Beckett?

My name's Quinn.

Why don't you get used to it?

I knew a Quinn once and
there's no resemblance.

To me you're a Mallory.

Ouch.

We're gonna
have so much fun tonight.

Watch your step!
Oh, fun!

Here we go.

Ready? Okay.

You know, I think we
ought to get something straight, too.

I think you need to sit.

I don't know what is going on.

More pesky quantum fluctuations.

Remmy, this is just like the
world we were at, with the thing.

Yeah, I know, and the
guy with all the stuff.

- And the monkey...
- And the monkey!

You guys are gonna love
this place! Come on!

As long as they've got
110 volt power.

Quinn, come on.
You're going to miss it.

Quinn!

- Miss what?
- What?

What did you call me?

I didn't call you anything.
Are you all right?

- Yeah. Sure.
- Let's play.

I don't know how he did it,

but Quinn always had a
knack for hitting lucky numbers.

Come on, Quinn!

Lucky seven, Q-Ball!

Hey, hey!

What is it?
Ah!

No!

What happened to him?

Why don't you ask me?

Okay. What happened
down there?

Some kind of a killer déjà vu.

One minute I was standing there
next to you guys and then I was...

standing there next to you guys.

It was the same hotel.

I was playing roulette
with Remmy and Maggie.

But I don't play roulette,
it's a sucker's game.

It was like having this

incredibly vivid memory of
something that never happened.

Take off your shirt.

Oh!

What the devil?

That couldn't have
happened when he fell down.

That looks like a burn.

Someone shot me.

What?

I was at the roulette table
and this guy...

Big, ugly, I...

He thought I had
cheated him at cards.

So he pulls out a gun
and shoots me.

What is it?

That happened to Quinn.

Our Quinn.

All right, I understand how
Mallory might remember something

that happened to Quinn, but...

that scar...

How is that possible?

The fluctuations in Mallory's
quantum matrix, they're increasing.

Again with the fluctuations.

After Mallory and your Quinn
were merged in the Combine,

there were wild spikes in the boson
emissions from the phased matrices.

Okay.

Quinn and Mallory were fighting

for control over a single
dimensional reality.

One body.

- And Mallory won.
- Well, sort of.

His pattern clearly
became the dominant one

and Quinn's became dormant.

There's something waking him up.

That scar.

Quinn's body is
remembering who he is.

He's trying to come back.

That's what you want, isn't it?

To get your Quinn back.

That's the only reason
you brought me along, right?

If there's a chance that we can
separate you from Quinn, we can...

And what if there's not?

What if you only get
one Quinn per customer?

Which one do you want?

That's what I thought.

The Feynman high energy
particle reactor, ladies and gentlemen,

is the most advanced fusion
generator on the planet.

We're trying to generate energies
equivalent to the big bang, people.

So, please, please,

read the instructions,
before you use it.

What's the maximum Planck
energy this reactor can sustain?

10 to the 19th giga
electron volts.

At that level,
however, we can...

Have you tried
modulating the size

of the 11th dimension
to reduce the Planck length?

Excuse me, miss,
are you in this class?

Uh...

Hey.

You mind if I...

How do you feel?

Tired.

It's hard to sleep when I can't tell
which dreams are mine and which are his.

Well, it's this place.

Quinn remembers it
or some place like it.

That your theory or Diana's?

It just makes sense.

Uh, so...

where is the good doctor?

She went to the university to see if
she could use their equipment to...

um, restabilize you.

Do you want me
restabilized, Maggie?

I...

I don't know.
I just miss Quinn.

Come on. I want to
show you something.

Come on.

I don't like surprises.

Well, now I know that's not
Quinn talking. He lived for them.

Hey, welcome to
the Chandler Travel Agency.

The world in one room.

One of the quantum fluctuations
Diana discovered about

this world is that its technology
is a bit more advanced than yours.

So?

So, we're gonna
take a little trip.

Now, I want you to put
your hands on this gizmo.

- Why?
- It's a surprise.

Nice place.

A little Wonder
Bread for my tastes.

No, this is... This isn't real,
this isn't real. I'm at the hotel.

I'm at the hotel. I'm...

Hey, hey, hey!
Take it easy, fella.

You're right,
you're at the hotel.

This is a hologram.

It scans your thoughts and
shows you where you want to go.

This is my street.

That's our house.
I lived here.

Those are my parents.

Before they...

They look so young.

Why are we here?

You were having some trouble
adjusting to the sliding.

We thought familiar
surroundings might help.

I'm not sure what to say.

Thanks, I guess.

We're going to fix this
problem, Mallory. Okay?

You can't... What?
No! Don't you get it?

Doug, we've been through this.

No, you cannot have
Nadine this weekend.

Because the judge said so.

Look, don't threaten me, okay?

You can't make my life any
worse than you already have.

Doug, Doug, you cannot
withhold that check!

That is blackmail!

Doug, I'm gonna...
Doug? Dou...

Oh!

Congratulations,
you just made it worse.

We were thinking without
the hotel to jar his memory,

Mallory might stop
having the visions.

Hello?

Sorry, um...
That's a good idea.

The stimulus is probably
exacerbating the fragmentation effect.

So any luck at the university?

Maybe, they have a
fusion reaction chamber

that's beyond state of the art.

But I had to audit
the class to use it.

So it's back to school
for you, huh?

Let's see how
the young man is doing.

Oh, my God!

Mallory!

Out of the way!

Hologram.

Yeah, but what is it?

It's a Kromagg.

Why in the devil would
you conjure up a Kromagg?

You think I did it? I've never even
seen one of those things before!

Then how?

How do you think?

I was using the travel agency
and these visions started again.

Nightmares.
I saw some place.

My home being overrun
by these things.

My mother was taken away.

They were torturing you.

And this thing made it real.

I saw a man, a friend,
shot dead in front of me.

Professor...

I don't know who he was.

But he meant so much
to me I can't stop hurting.

I feel like I'm losing my mind.

Both of 'em.

Don't worry. I'll head back
to the university right away.

What are you looking at?

Oh, excuse me!

Oh, my Lord!

Oh my...

Who are you?

Can you believe this?

I mean, I've never...

We could be sisters.

What's your name?
Are you a student here?

Wait... Sorry.

I'm Diana Davis.

My friends call me Didi.

Wow!

How do you do it?

What do you mean?

The things I've seen.

I mean, the things Quinn's seen.

These Kromaggs invading worlds.

People you care about dying.

Not having a home to go to.

Well, it's not just a job,
it's an adventure.

When I first started sliding,

I thought I knew everything
that was important in life.

You know?

My father always taught me

it's more important making
political contacts,

than it is making friends.

Well, Rembrandt, Colin,

Quinn.

They're friends I thought
I'd never have.

And, uh...

I... I don't think
I would change that.

Even if I could.

Come here.

Take my hand.

Close your eyes.

Trust me.

Don't be afraid.

Open your eyes.

What's this?

Well, you said that you've only
seen bad things through Quinn's eyes.

I thought maybe I'd
show you something good.

And a ruffled shirt is supposed
to make me feel better?

This is where we went
the night of our prom.

Your prom?

It's hard to explain, but...

Well, Quinn and I were trapped
in this bubble universe and...

We spent a whole lifetime there.

Well, you don't look that old.

Thanks.

I lost my home

and this slide gave me
a chance to

have a home again,
at least for a while.

You know, I lost my
virginity the night of my prom.

Whoa! Sorry, stud.

But you don't get drunk
off of holographic hooch.

Damn. And I got
holographic condoms.

Hmm.

Well, I know I'm not adopted.

My mother always whined about
how much pain I caused her coming out.

Big head.

Um, I better get
back to the lab.

You know, it's funny. They say
everybody in the world has a double,

but the odds against meeting
them are astronomical.

I guess we just lucked out.

I suppose so.

So, are you a student here?

Hmm, I wish!

When Nadine was born,
I had to drop out.

I work in the
student activities office.

What about your husband,
doesn't he...

I don't have a husband.

I just have bad taste in men.

Doug, well, he loves
everything about being a father

except paying for it.

What about your parents?

Rich. But I don't take
money from them.

They didn't want me
to keep Nadine, so...

we don't speak.

Hey, I was a physics major too.

Before I dropped out.

Whoa, it got pretty intense.

Professor Dillon's
class nearly killed me.

Yeah! Me, too!

"You people are trying
to grasp infinite concepts

"with finite minds."

So, I switched
to American literature.

And then I met Doug, the poet.

But, uh, you toughed
it out with Dillon.

Well, barely.

Yeah, I was thinking about
switching majors too, and, uh...

then I met someone
who changed my mind.

A man?

No, a mentor,
I guess you could say.

Dr. Geiger, he took
me under his wing and

he inspired me.

I wish I'd met
someone like that.

I had better get going.

- See you around?
- Oh, hey, um...

what's your name?

Um...

Maggie.

- Quinn.
- Hmm.

Do you remember it?

- What?
- Think.

Do you remember being here?

Do you remember what
the next song is on the radio?

Oh, that's what this is.

You take me for a little
romantic drive down memory lane

and your Quinn wakes up.

No, I just...

You get your Quinn back and I
go away like I never existed, right?

That's not it! I just need
to know if he's there!

What if I don't
want him to be there?

I can't live like this.

I can't be two people.

Quinn!

Quinn.

I'm not this Quinn.

The fragmentation effect
is getting worse.

Something is causing them to
move even further out of phase.

It's my fault.

I thought I had a chance to get
my Quinn back. I pushed him...

It's okay.

All right. How about it?

Any chance you can
get our guys apart?

Well, I got into
the physics lab today

and I may be able to
use their fusion reactor to

generate a stable
dimensional bubble.

Like the one Geiger lived in?

And if you can't?

Well, eventually the phase
differential will grow so large,

he won't be able to exist
as either Quinn or Mallory.

He, or actually they, could
become unstuck like Geiger.

In any case, he can't
live as two people.

That's what he told me.

We may have to choose
which one to save.

Okay, get on with it.
You got 21 hours.

Hey, Diana.

Is there something else?

Gosh, I don't know.

Isn't keeping Mallory from ripping
himself apart at a subatomic level enough?

Come on.
You know what I mean.

Look, did something
happen today?

Would it have anything to do
with you seeing your alternate?

I ran into her at campus.

And what happened?

She thinks I'm groovy.

She figures it's some kind
of cool cosmic coincidence

that she met someone
who looks just like her.

She says we're destined
to be friends.

Well, now, that's a relief.

- Well, isn't it?
- She's not me.

She's not supposed to be.

She dropped out of school

because some deadbeat
poetry major knocked her up.

She's got a minimum wage job and
a car that runs about 30% of the time.

Look.

I've been to a lot of different
worlds since I started this game,

and I've seen different versions
of myself, too, and it's freaky.

I mean, seeing how
your life could have gone.

But you can't judge
this other Diana

by the standards
that you set for yourself.

Why do you assume that
she would want your life

any more than you
would want hers?

I just...

She just has such a hard life.

What if Dr. Geiger
was right?

What if I had a chance to make this
universe a better place and I passed it up?

Okay, come on!

125% percent, it's not
too much to ask.

Okay.

Okay.

Stay stable.

Come on, stay stable.

Oh!

Come on, stabilize!

Damn it!

Diana?

Diana!

Oh, my God.

Dr. Geiger?

Dr. Geiger?

- Can you hear me?
- No need to shout.

I'm right here.

Could you try reducing the
electromagnetic confinement

of the particle stream?

Yes.

Much better.

It's good to
see you again, Diana.

I've had quite an adventure
since we saw each other last.

Since you betrayed my trust.

- Doctor...
- But never mind that.

All is forgiven.

Very clever, creating this
dimensional bubble.

You must have realized that

I would be naturally drawn to the
most stable region of the multiverse.

But this isn't my lab.

You brought me here by accident.

After your containment
field broke down...

After you destroyed it!

I went through the dimensional
wormhole with Mallory and the others.

I slid with them.

Why?

I don't know, uh,
time was running out.

I hadn't been able to decompile
the two Quinns we combined.

I couldn't just let him
go like that.

- I promised that we were...
- You promised!

What about your promise to me?

I offered you
the mysteries of creation.

You obviously weren't feeling
very loyal to me,

when you decided to unanchor me.

Years of my work ruined.

My quantum essence sent spinning
off like a leaf caught in the wind.

Diana!

Look what you've done to me.

What about the lies
that you told me?

That we were using the Combine
to composite a better world.

We were.

A better world for you and
to hell with everyone else!

No. There was
a place for you there.

What makes you think I would
have wanted a place in your world?

And why not?

What would you be
leaving behind, hmm?

Estranged from your family.
No relationship.

All you had was your work.
All you had was me.

Good morning!

Stan at the security desk told
me you'd been here all night.

He thought I was you.

We could pull some
serious mischief with this.

Brought you some coffee.

Were you talking to someone?

No, uh...

I... I guess I'm just
getting a little punchy.

- Thanks.
- No problem.

Well, uh, don't work too hard.

Fascinating.

An alternate version
of yourself.

You're actually getting
quite chummy, too.

She's, uh...

nice.

Oh, I'm sure she is.

Hardworking, a good mother,

a real trouper.

What are you talking about?

I do a lot of traveling,
Diana, remember?

I've seen other versions
of you. Many, many.

What?

Well, let's see if I can guess
what this Diana Davis is like. Hmm.

Dropped out of school because she
couldn't handle the pressure. Hmm?

Menial, low-paying job and, oh!

Does this one have twins
or just the one?

How?

How do I know?

Because she's you, Diana.

They're all you.

The person you would have
been if you hadn't met me.

If I didn't give you
a reason to exist,

you would be living
the same meaningless life

as a billion other Dianas.

Now, don't you feel special?

Hey.

Doug, you cannot do this!

Talk to your lawyer.

- Doug, wait...
- I'll drop her off, Monday.

Damn you!

Not in front of the kid.

- Out, get out.
- What?

Out, out, move it.

Come on. Out.

- Hey.
- Yeah, get out.

Okay.

Okay, come on.

Come on.

That was unpleasant.

I downloaded nearly all of your
data before I slid off of our world.

With the facilities in this lab,
we could pick up our research

right where we left off.

Yes, but?

But this time, we stick
with the original experiment.

The experiment you told me

was to create a better world so
people like Mallory could walk again.

And so this world's Diana Davis
can have the advantages that you had.

That's the deal.

Plus, you have to help me
undo what we did to Quinn.

To Mallory.

Put them back
the way we found them.

And if I refuse?

When do we get started?

Yeah. I miss him too.

I never really thought about how
much responsibility Q-Ball took.

We were always looking
to him for the answers,

assuming he would
figure something out.

- He usually did.
- Yeah.

A lot for a young man
to deal with.

Looking after us
and his brother, Colin.

Crazy farm boy.

I know, I just keep expecting
to look over at that bar

and see 'em both sitting there.

Mallory!

Hey, man, you feeling okay?

Better.

The hallucinations are gone.

For the moment anyway.

Mallory, I'm sorry,
I was being selfish.

- Forget it.
- No.

It's just...

the time that Quinn and I
spent in that universe,

that life that we had.

Well, it was like
being home again.

And if I give up on
trying to get Quinn back,

I'll be giving up on
a chance at that life

and I'll never go home.

Hey, it's cool.

I never went in for that
school dance crap anyway.

But if I had gone
to your prom with you,

oh, I think I could have gotten
all the way to second base.

Increase the boson emissions
by 0.0061 percent.

Are you sure?
I double checked...

Stop trusting the data!

I am in the eye of the storm.

I can feel the particle stream.

You don't have enough power to
extend the bubble beyond five dimensions.

Yes! Yes!

Yes!

Now!

Mallory!

Something's wrong. The
field strength is off the scale.

The field strength
was just right, Diana.

How did you...

The increase in
the boson emissions

was just what
the doctor ordered.

It expanded the stable dimensional
bubble beyond the reaction chamber.

I'm now free to
move about the cabin.

At least for a while.

You tricked me.

Thank you for your help, Diana.

I can take it from here.

What did we do to this world?

What did you want to do?

My God.

Didi?

Who the hell are you?

Arrest her.

Wait. Didi, it's me.

That is not my name.

- How did you get in here?
- It's okay, uh...

I'm a student here.

Don't you remember me?

Students aren't
allowed in this area.

This is a high-security area
contracted for military use only.

Now I will ask you again,
who are you?

I'm, uh... Maggie.

It's me, Maggie, remember?

Why are you impersonating me?
Who do you work for?

I don't work for anybody.
Think, you know me.

I know your daughter, Nadine.

I don't have a daughter.

What?

Take her.

Use the other door.
Go get her!

I don't understand you.

I mean, what in the devil...
What were you thinking?

I had him contained in
the reaction chamber.

I thought I could control him.

Well, you thought wrong.

He changed my equations!
He expanded the bubble.

Look, I know you're new to this

and you're gonna make mistakes.

But there's one thing
you have to understand

and that's we are a team, okay?

Now, why didn't you call us?

I just...

I saw the way my double
was living and I couldn't take it.

I mean, he ruined
her academic career.

He made her life miserable.

And so you thought
you could fix it.

On our world, Geiger and I...

We made Mallory walk again by
combining healthy genetic fragments

from dimensional alternates
into his quantum matrix.

I thought I could apply the
same principle to Nadine's father.

Gene splicing Mr. Right.

Yeah, but it didn't
work out that way.

I should have run a probability
profile on all the possible outcomes.

You know, by making him
more responsible

maybe she would have never
gotten pregnant in the first place.

Well, without her
daughter in her life

maybe there was nothing to
distract her from her career.

It's more than that. She's
different, she's hard, suspicious.

She's not the woman I met.

Her child is gone.

Oh, I had no right.

I can't control my own life.

What makes me think I
can control someone else's?

You can't try to make someone
into something they're not.

What about Mallory?

I'm not sure.

When Geiger increased
the field strength,

it sent quantum ripples
through this entire universe.

It may have upset the phase
balance within his recombinant matrix.

It messed him up.

Okay, look, we've got
32 minutes to undo this mess.

Geiger expanded the bubble
to include a large part of the lab.

If we can get
Mallory over there,

we may be able
to restabilize him.

How are we supposed to get in?

Thanks to you, that lab is now

a high-security
military research center.

I should have the same fingerprints
and retina scan as my double, right?

Let's go.

You got three minutes,
do your stuff.

The bubble's still stable.

So is he.

How do you feel?

Okay. A little nausea,

but that's probably the
Monte Cristo I had for lunch.

He's fine.

For how long?

Well, the quantum ripples that destabilized
him were limited to this dimension.

Once we slide, he'll be no
worse than he was before.

Sounds good to me.

Let's roll.

Okay, I've got to straighten
a few things out here.

If I can realign the quantum
matrix to the initial settings,

we're out of here.

Get away from that console.

What are you doing?

Please, in just a minute, you
won't remember this ever happened.

I'm calling security.

Hold it.

Just give us two minutes and
then we'll be out of your hair.

Oh, no.

"Oh, no," what?

I'm locked out. I can't
change the settings.

And why would you want
to change the settings?

We expecting anyone else?

This is the world
you created, Diana.

Isn't this what you wanted?

I was wrong.
You are wrong.

We have got to put this
place back the way it was.

I've rather grown
to like it here.

It seems like a good place
to continue my work.

You unlock that computer.

Or what?

I could make this place rather
unpleasant for Mr. Mallory.

Likewise!

The stable field's collapsing.

No!

What did you do?

I have the security code.

I overrode the lockout.

The reactor chamber's
breaking down!

Diana, let me stay here.

Let me back into the system.

What happened to him?

I'm calling security.

Don't!

Look, I know this is crazy,

but you have got to trust me.

The work that I've been
doing, this equipment,

it can alter your reality.

I tried to use it to make this world
a better place and I screwed up.

I changed who you are.

- What?
- Listen.

You have a daughter. Her name
is Nadine and she is beautiful.

You pick her up from
playcare every day at 2:00.

I've taken a piece
of your life away.

And I want to give it back.

You're insane.

What do you think
just happened to Geiger?

Look at me.

I'm not some spy Diana
Davis in disguise! I'm you.

10 seconds.

No!

It's time!

Go!

Come on!

You have no idea
what you've done!

Diana, we have to go now.

I can't leave
this world like this.

You have no choice!

Come on.

Ah!

Well, you must feel like
you screwed up pretty big.

Maybe you did.

I mean, you're human,
it happens.

When you make
a mistake in the lab,

people don't vanish off
the face of the earth.

This isn't a lab.

Nope.

I don't know if I can go on.

You can.
Your work isn't finished.

And we need you.

I need you.

I mean, don't forget,
we're a team.

I won't forget.

Not ever.

Go ahead and drink up.
We slide in an hour.
