Sliders “My Brother’s Keeper” – Season 4 Episode 19

This is an interesting episode that takes a look at the possibility of clones. The Sliders come into this world and Quinn is immediately greeted by this hipster looking dude that says “hey Quinnster”.
Apparently Quinn is a Gen X version of Dean Martin as he says.
They don’t think too much of it but since there is a lab Quinn and Collin decide to go take a look at this for recon purposes. Maybe this world has some sliding technology they can use to help get back to their home world.
They go to the lab and Quinn immediately sees his double doing something incredibly dangerous with a laser. He’s using way too much power for a photon laser. That uses too much electricity. A great accident happens which electrically burns his eyes. They run to the aid of the Quinn double.
They call in security.
Security mistakes the Slider Quinn for this Quinn’s clone and they shock him unconscious.
Collin does everything he can just to escape so the captors have Quinn. They’re quite surprised because they thought the clone had gotten out of its cage. What they come to discover is the clone is safe and sound in its repository. So they have no idea what this one is.
Quinn has a father on this world who is a doctor. He is a surgeon who is doing this work of harvesting the clone’s organs and body parts.
This world is highly stratified as well. Maggie and the rest of the Sliders are back at the Chandler Hotel. They see these poor people suffering with no medical care or help. Before they had clones rich people offered to pay poor people for their hands and other body parts they needed.
But there is an underground movement to help out the clones.
The Sliders go in to get Quinn out of the hospital captivity but instead take the clone. So now the real Quinn is scheduled to be harvested so his double can have his eyes back. Only what the double’s father doesn’t know is that his own son is part of the underground resistance.
He refuses to take the clone’s eyes.
But his dad can’t accept this so is keeping him sedated in order to force him to take the new eyes. The underground resistance ends up coming and taking back Quinn and his dad as a hostage.
The Sliders don’t know this and so make an attempt to get Quinn back. They are captured in the process and so we have an old-fashioned Mexican standoff developing. They look to negotiate a trade.
Things heat up and the doctor comes to realize that the the clones aren’t just mindless beings. The Quinn clone steps in front of a bullet for the doctor and so he is now convinced. He stops what he is doing and starts offering pro bono medical care for the poor people of this world.
Slider Quinn narrowly escapes having his eyes taken from him. He and the rest of his group get to slide off of this world with all their body parts intact.
