The Sliders arrive on a world where disease is running rampant, and it appears that Quinn's counterpart is the source of the nastiest of these epidemics, a plague called the "Q Virus." Quinn is quickly tracked down and captured by the health agency, but the Sliders' problems escalate when Wade develops signs of being infected. Now Arturo is in a race against time to develop a cure.

Episode Notes |
| |
Some of Arturo's favorite foods includes Asparagus and Beef Wellington.
| LOOK HARD: The ad that we get a small glimps of in the pharmacy reads "When at home, I'm in Chanel. When in a crowd, I'm in my RACLAR Puncture Proof Germ Free Suit."
| According to series creators, Motel 12 is not an affect of sliding, it's a parody of Motel 6 that is constant in every world.
| FOX failed to air the episodes in order. In the first season this episode was meant to air 4th, but instead aired 2nd.
| "The Q" world was set up to be a world where modern medicine hadn't been invented yet.
| SEASON 1 OPENING NARRATION: What if you could find brand new worlds, right here on Earth, where anything is possible? Same planet, different dimension. I've found the gateway. -- Jerry O'Connell
| The first world we see the crew in shows San Francisco reaping the benefits of an Oil Boom, where deposits are found under everyone's home.

Episode Quotes |
| |
Arturo: Well, gentlemen, we're in a world where they do not like to kiss pretty ladies for a little over two days.
Rembrandt: Oh great! We get twenty minutes in wealthy-land, we're stuck two days here in Psychoville.
| Rembrandt: Lord, Lord! You can take a man's body and beat it, you can take his soul and try it, but to do this to a hamburger? It's just downright unkind.
| Quinn: Wanna know what I've been doing that could have cured me? Fine. I'll tell you. I've been sliding through an interdimensional wormhole seeing how many different ways people like you can screw up civilization!
| Rembrandt: You really do love driving cabs, don't you?
Pavel: Ah, yes. It's my destiny.
Rembrandt: You don't know the half.
| Quinn: You're okay.
Arturo: Rather confirms one's opinions that biology is what you do if you haven't got the maths for real science.
| Rembrandt: Who do you suppose they're gonna eat first?
Arturo: I suppose the younger, more tender.
Quinn: Age before beauty, that's the universal tenet.
Rembrandt: (to Arturo) Don't look at me, I'm just a Chicken McNugget. You the Quarter Pounder.

Episode Goofs |
| |
When it first cuts to Quinn when he thinks the waitress is pointing at him, we can see that his arms are hanging at his side. But when it cuts back to him a couple of seconds later, his hands are in his pockets, and it seems unlikely that he would bother doing such a thing in mid-reaction.
| When Quinn is standing over Wade's sickbay, we see his hands holding hers. However, whenever the shot cuts away from Wade, we see that his arms are hanging straight down.
| The sick Quinn gives Rembrandt an earring as proof that he's the real Quinn in their world. But wait, the other Quinn has been sitting under care for hours. Wouldn't Dr. Stanley have seen there was no earring hole and known it wasn't him? (Reply: For all she knew, her Quinn could have taken his earring out and the hole had closed.) (Another possibility: he may not have actually put the earring into his ear until later. Especially if it had not been pierced when she gave him the earring.)
| The guards are armed with high powered guns. When they shoot the cab, the bullets only dent. With guns like that, the bullets should have punctured through the car.
| Apparently on "The Q" earth, they're not very good at making battering rams either. All the props manager did was take a bunch of tough wire fences, and bound them together on the front of a garbage truck.
| Dr. Stanley gets shot, but we see no bullethole or blood on her way down the stairs.
