Sam leaps into a mafia hit-man who may not live long since he is romancing the godfather's girlfriend. Also an attempt to bring Sam home causes the 1965 east coast blackout.
This was the second episode filmed but pushed back to later in the season.
I can see why. It is an episode that is unsure of itself. It starts off as a pastiche of The Godfather and then confused as to how it will resolve the story as it has tied itself in knots because of the people Sam has leapt into.
Sam leaps into a mafia enforce, Frankie La Palma and he is making love to Teresa who is a hairdresser and squeeze of crime boss, Don Geno Frascotti.
Don Geno is not happy that Teresa might be cheating on him. Meanwhile Al thinks that Sam needs to be responsible for a major power cut as well as bring Frankie and Teresa together.
The story has a lot going for it. Sam is lost at first and he needs to sing at the wedding in Italian. There is some good comedy as well as peril in this one.
