Bobby runs away when he feels underappreciated and unloved.
While stranded at JFK Airport during a snowstorm, Ann will do anything to get to an audition on Broadway.
In the laboratory of Dr. Geiger (Peter Jurasik), his lab assistant (Robert Floyd) is preparing for a mysterious experiment. A laser gun fires at him and he vanishes. At the same time, Rembrandt (Cleavant Derricks), Maggie (Kari Wuhrer), Quinn and Colin are getting ready to slide out of a dangerous situation, but something goes wrong in the vortex. Maggie and Rembrandt make it out of the slide, but Quinn and Colin have vanished.
Onboard a plane zooming through a war zone, the Sliders have seconds to slide when a missile destroys the tail of the plane. Quinn and Rembrandt are knocked unconscious. With the parachutes destroyed, Maggie makes a snap decision -- she opens the vortex outside the plane, and she and Colin dragging the other two, leap into it. When they land in another world, Maggie quickly realizes that Quinn may be dying. She sends Colin in to town to find help; he soon comes across a buggy driver who gives him a ride into town. He reaches the city, finding it to be normal -- except that there are no gas-driven vehicles and everyone is armed.
When George and Louise meet Florence's intended, they worry that he may be too good to be true -- and soon find out they are exactly right.
