Ep 9. The Prince Of Slides

The Sliders team, consisting of Quinn Mallory, Rembrandt Brown, and Wade Welles, find themselves on a world where the Soviet Union was never dissolved and the world is still divided into two superpowers: the Soviet Union and the United States of America. The team quickly realizes that this is a dangerous world, where people are constantly being monitored by the government and freedom is scarce.

As they try to find a way to slide out of this world, they come across a young prince named Mikhail, who has been living in hiding due to a civil war that broke out between his family and the government. Mikhail is the son of the former king, who was overthrown by the current government. The team decides to help Mikhail and his family regain their rightful place in the kingdom and overthrow the corrupt government.

The team devises a plan to sneak into the palace where the government leader is holding a ceremony to celebrate their victory in the war. The team manages to disguise themselves as palace staff and gains access to the palace. However, their plan is foiled when they are caught by the head of security, who proceeds to interrogate them. Rembrandt comes up with a brilliant plan to distract the head of security, while the rest of the team sneaks away.

Quinn and Wade manage to find Mikhail's family and plan their escape, but they are discovered by the guards. Mikhail sacrifices himself to allow the family to escape, and the rest of the team is forced to leave the world without him.

After sliding out of the world, the team finds themselves on a new world where they are greeted by an old acquaintance. This new world seems peaceful, but the team quickly realizes that appearances can be deceiving. They soon find themselves in trouble again and must fight to survive.

Overall, this episode showcases the Sliders team facing new challenges and fighting for what is right. The addition of Mikhail adds an emotional element to the story and highlights the team's dedication to helping those in need. The episode ends with a cliffhanger that leaves the audience wondering what will happen next for the Sliders team.
