Ep 9. Play It Again, Seymour - April 14, 1953

Sam leaps into the body of Seymour, a piano player in a bar in April 1953. Seymour is a shy, introverted man who has recently fallen in love with a singer named Ruthie. However, Ruthie is in love with the bar's owner, Roy, who is abusive toward her.

As Sam navigates Seymour's life, he tries to help Ruthie by encouraging her to stand up for herself and pursue her own dreams. He also tries to help Seymour become more confident and assertive, so he can win Ruthie's heart. Along the way, Sam learns more about the corrupt practices of the bar industry and tries to expose them.

As the episode progresses, Sam realizes that he needs to save both Ruthie and Seymour from certain death when Roy orders his henchmen to kill them. Sam must use his knowledge of the future to prevent their deaths and change the course of their lives for the better.

Throughout the episode, Sam also struggles with the fact that he cannot return home until he finds a way to "put right what once went wrong." He must navigate the challenges of his new life and help those around him, all while trying to find a way back to his own time.

In the end, Sam's actions have a positive impact on everyone around him. He helps Ruthie stand up to Roy and follow her dreams, he encourages Seymour to pursue his music career, and he exposes the corruption of the bar industry. Although he does not find a way home in this episode, Sam leaves knowing that he has made a difference in the lives of those around him.
