MIA is one of the most important episodes for the series. It's premise and plot is revisited in the Series Finale, "Mirror Image." The love story between Al and his first wife Beth is set up here. It starts out a fairly mundane leap for Same, but there is something going on that Sam has yet to figure out, and Al is not telling him the whole story! It sets up the reason for the torch Al carries life-long for his first wife. The very last scene, between Al and Beth, is so beautiful, however it must be seen for the first time in it's original form, not on the newly released DVD set. The music has been changed from it's original airing form and has changed the tone and meaning of the scene quite a bit. But it remains the beginning of a superb love story.
