Another world, new dangers. The crime of spray painting a freeway overpass carries the death penalty here. Not just that, but in Proposition 199, known as the "Instant Justice Initiative", the appeal process takes only a moment - long enough for the judge to say "Request denied". Quinn gets convicted of the crime of stepping on the grass, and based on eyewitness and fingerprint evidence. This world's Alternate Quinn probably has a criminal record, apparently. In this new dimension our Sliders find themselves in, Rembrandt finds himself very welcome, actually the Sliders get treated like royalty. He is mistaken for a long-deceased rock legend! Rembrandt is this world's Elvis, basically, and there are Crying Man impersonators everywhere including a shrine to his memory at Memphis. Once our sliders leave this world, Quinn and Rembrandt get jobs as street vendors selling ice cream in this new dimension. The Del Rubio Triplets appear in this episode.

In a new and seemingly perfect earth, Wade wins the lottery. Quinn subsequently learns the real purpose behind the contest. This world keeps society down to a mere 500 million through a wide variety of unethical means including birth control drugs in cola and a lottery system which usually proves fatal to the winners. The president of the USA in this world is Jocelyn Elders. The Sliders are joined by two others from this world: Ryan and a dog named Henry. Ryan, played by Nicholas Lea, is well known to X-Files viewers as Special Agent Krycek (a.k.a. Ratboy). He appears as a potential fifth Slider. Quinn is shot just before the Sliders leave this parallel Earth. What will happen to him? This is the cliffhanger ending of the first Fox season.
