The Evil Leaper Project
In Season 5, Sam discovered a leaper from another project. This leaper project seemed to follow the same structure and scientific principles as Quantum Leap, but was dedicated to the opposite goal of putting wrong what once went right.
- Alia (Renée Coleman) - Sam's counterpart, a beautiful and deadly woman who is leaping around in time, committing terrible acts in an attempt to get home. After meeting and failing to kill Sam twice, Alia abandons her old ways and tries to escape the ones controlling her leaping with Sam's help. At the end of "Revenge of the Evil Leaper" her leap is accompanied by a blue flash rather than her usual red flash, implying she has escaped the Evil Leaper project. It is implied that Alia was an unwilling participant in the project.
- Zoey (Carolyn Seymour) - Alia's holographic partner. She is a cruel and sadistic woman who, after Alia breaks free of their project's control on her, leaps back in an attempt to kill Alia herself.
- Thames (Hinton Battle) - When Zoey leaped, a darkly comical man named Thames became her hologram.
- Lothos - The other project's computer system, analogous to Ziggy.
