Directed by Deborah Pratt who wrote many episodes of the original Quantum Leap series.
There is something very traditional old school about this episode. Ben leaps into the body of Kamini Prasad. Daughter of Indian immigrants whose family runs a restaurant.
Kamini's father died a year ago. Her mother Sonali has struggled since then and has run up a debt with their landlady.
Ben has to sort out the financial crisis and has a day to do it. Maybe a gala dinner with a new menu created by Kamini's sister could do the trick. Only Sonali is against change.
The episode had a nice vibe as the family uses Hindi words and phrases.
Only a lot of the story is pants. At one point it is left to Ben and Sonali to cook and serve dinner as all the other staff were not available. There seemed to be no urgency at all including a pizza break.
It was noteworthy that the story was set in 2009. Which for Ben would had been recent.
