In Quantum Leap season 5 episode 7, titled "Deliver Us from Evil - March 19, 1966," the time-traveling Dr. Sam Beckett finds himself in the body of a Navy chaplain named Captain Tom Jarrett. It's the height of the Vietnam War, and Tom is stationed on a U.S. aircraft carrier in the South China Sea.

Tom has arrived just in time to deliver a eulogy for a marine who was killed in action. Sam realizes quickly that he has a higher purpose for being there, as the deceased marine's younger brother (played by a young Jason Priestley) is also onboard and is struggling with his faith and the reality of war.

As the episode progresses, Sam attempts to help the younger brother and other sailors navigate their feelings of anger, fear, and guilt. He also works to prevent a potential catastrophe on the ship, as tensions continue to escalate between the sailors and their commanding officer.

Through his own chaplaincy work and his newfound knowledge of the situation on the ship, Sam tries to bring a sense of peace and understanding to the crew. However, as always, he must do so while contending with the "Al" character who guides him through his leaps and provides snarky commentary along the way.

"Deliver Us from Evil" is a powerful episode that grapples with issues of faith, morality, and the human toll of war. Scott Bakula delivers a nuanced performance as both Sam and Tom, and the episode is notable for its emotional depth and thoughtful exploration of the challenges faced by those serving in Vietnam.
