NBC has released some promotional photos for “One Night in Koreatown” which is the Wednesday, November 1 episode of Quantum Leap. Here’s how the episode is described; a gallery of photos can be found below. It looks like Magic is going to be Ben’s hologram for this one! Also, original Quantum Leap guest star Susan Diol (as Beth, mom of Janis and wife of Al Calavicci)… we see you in these pictures!
Ben lands in in the body of an 18-year-old working for his father’s shoe store in Koreatown in Los Angeles at the start of explosive 1992 riots. Facing an emotional connection in the riots to his past, Magic joins Ben on the leap.

It’s been nearly 30 years since Dr. Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished. Now, a new team, led by physicist Ben Song (Raymond Lee), has been assembled to restart the project in the hope of understanding the mysteries behind the machine and the man who created it.
Everything changes, however, when Ben makes an unauthorized leap into the past, leaving the team behind to solve the mystery of why he did it. At Ben’s side throughout his leaps is Addison (Caitlin Bassett), who appears in the form of a hologram only Ben can see and hear. She’s a decorated Army veteran who brings level-headed precision to her job.
At the helm of the highly confidential operation is Herbert “Magic” Williams (Ernie Hudson), a no-nonsense career military man who has to answer to his bosses who won’t be happy once they learn about the breach of protocol. The rest of the team at headquarters includes Ian Wright (Mason Alexander Park), who runs the Artificial Intelligence unit “Ziggy,” and Jenn Chu (Nanrisa Lee), who heads up digital security for the project.
As Ben leaps from life to life, putting right what once went wrong, it becomes clear that he and the team are on a thrilling journey. However, Addison, Magic, Ian and Jenn know that if they are going to solve the mystery of Ben’s leaps and bring him home, they must act fast or lose him forever.
