Gray clouds cover the sky. At the cemetery on the ground, a crowd of people gatyher, all wearing dark coats. This is the funeral for the man called Gooshie.

Accompanied by his wife Beth, Al looks at the tripid containing the picture of Gooshie, wearing a blue coat, white shirt, and blue necktie. It contrasts to the dark clothing everyone here wears.

Memories arise as the preacher delivers his sermon, memories of first meeting Gooshie at Project StarBright nearly twenty years ago. Not only did they work together, they hung out together and attended various social events- including weddings. Gooshie was such an integral part to Project Quantum Leap, and now they all have to say goodbye.

The preacher finally ends his sermon. Memories of Gooshie still dominate the surface.

Al knows, deep down, that tomorrow he must continue his mission to bring Sam home.
