The Outsider is the eleventh episode of the second season of Quantum Leap, and the twenty-ninth episode of the series overall. It aired on February 13, 2024.
An anonymous source sends Ben and an experienced local Denver TV journalist on the trail of a dangerous conspiracy as they pursue the scoop of a lifetime in the early '80s. There's trouble at HQ when Ian's past decisions come back to haunt the team.
In the present, Gideon condescendingly tells Magic that Ian stole his chip, threatened his representative, turned his employee against him, and now won't give it back. The Pentagon sees him as a crucial supplier, and Gideon expects that Magic will sort it out. Someone from the DoD will be there tomorrow to make sure that he does.
Ian apologizes to Magic. But Magic is furious, telling him to go home, log out of everything, and not speak to anyone until he speaks to the DoD representative. When Jenn defends Ian, Magic kicks her out of his office.
1982: Ben leaps into Brian Conway, a TV news producer in a Denver phone booth. A caller says that "they know" and blames him for talking too much. He says that people will die because of Ben's mistakes and hang up.
Connie Davis, the reporter Brian works for, is not the reporter she used to be. Brian is new, and she asks that he not mess up the biggest story she's had in months, which is a contest-winning pumpkin. Addison appears, and tells Ben that Hannah got his letter, and they caught the heart disease in time, but he died in a car accident a year later. Addison gets him Hannah's number.
Connie was a very famous reporter in New York City, but she was fired for mysterious reasons, and now she covers pumpkins in Denver. Ben tries to boost Connie's confidence. He suggests they follow up with the source that called him, but she tells him to leave it alone. Ben finds a pay phone and calls Hannah, but he gets an answering machine. A man in a ski mask points a gun at him, demands that he leave the story alone, and pistol whips him unconscious.
Connie thinks that no story is worth that. She doesn't want to talk about what happened in New York. She says everyone wants the big story but no one wants to do the work, and leaves. Addison knows that Ben is distracted by Josh and Hannah. He wonders if that saga was a signal to not try so hard. Addison gives him a pep talk, revealing that she would be a journalist if she weren't working on Quantum Leap.
