Ep 19. The Breeder

In Sliders season 3 episode 19, "The Breeder," the group slides into a world where humans have been genetically modified by a powerful corporation to become sterile and subservient. They discover that a rogue scientist named Dr. Tassler has been secretly breeding a new generation of humans who are not affected by the corporate genetic alterations.

As the Sliders try to help Dr. Tassler protect his lab and his work, they run into opposition from the corporation's enforcers, as well as a group of human collaborators who benefit from the status quo.

The group also struggles with ethical dilemmas as they question whether it is right to create a new breed of humans, and whether they should stay to help Dr. Tassler continue his work, or slide out and leave the conflict behind.

Meanwhile, Quinn begins to feel a strong attraction to one of the new breed of humans, a young woman named Caryn, who has grown up in isolation from the rest of society. As their feelings for each other deepen, they face opposition from both Quinn's companions and Caryn's protectors, who worry that their relationship could undermine the delicate balance of power in this world.

Ultimately, the Sliders must make a difficult decision about where their loyalties lie, and whether they are willing to risk everything to help Dr. Tassler and his new breed of humans. Along the way, they learn more about the complexities of genetic engineering and the dangers of unchecked corporate power, and they face unexpected challenges that test their courage, their moral compasses, and their relationships with each other.
