Body Swap Mystery - Quarantine Leap 76 "Emily"
Added 2023-09-23 21:33:55 +0000 UTCHi All,
In this episode, the Leaper lands in body of a woman, covered in blood, holding a bloody knife, and standing over a dead body. Let's just say not an ideal situation for the Leaper to find himself in. Over the next 24 hours the Leaper needs to discover what happened and what he's going to do about it. We're also in a new country!
A little backstory about this episode, I've been trying to make something with this start (the leaper stand over a body with a bloody knife) since the very end of season 1. I did a professional posting for it in 2020 and didn't have any luck, and have pitched to different actors over the years. It was one of those storylines I've wanted to do, but never thought I would get too. Then when we cast "Emily" aka Bella, she was up for anything, so I pitched her a number of difficult ideas and she was really interested in this one. I can't tell you how much I love it when an actor really wants to do something more difficult. She's very talented and I'm so happy to have her involved in the series. There's a long story there too, as she was basically traveling the world and had to wait until she got home, but it gives us an interesting location for our Alternate Ending, too.
As always, thank you for making these episodes possible! Hope you have a great weekend,
James
P.S. Please don't share videos with non-patrons. They'll get to see them next week. Thanks!

Thank you so much! I'm glad I got to do this episode, as it was one of my dream starts for the longest time. I always wanted to the Leaper have to 'solve a murder', and never planned that part, as it could have been self defense or something else where the person had to kill someone, and then the Leaper showed up. Making videos with the actors is very collaborative and we went with things that worked best with Bella's circumstances and what she wanted to play in the video. Even her tattoos were worked into the script. I'm so impressed with what Bella did with the episode, such a great actor.

2023-10-01 15:24:22 +0000 UTCThis has been a fantastic episode, James! After seeing the cliffhanger in the last episode I didn't know what to think. Maybe the Leaper jumped into some weird roleplay. Or maybe this was just a scene in an indie movie production. I honestly didn't think that this was real! Bella did an amazing job of portraying the Leaper in this extraordinary situation. Great, great work! And after watching this episode I can see why you wanted to do something like this for so long. I loved every single second of it! Thank you James. And thank you Bella!
