The wormhole opens onboard a plane in midair, as the Sliders leap in from Eskimo world. They find a party going on, but when turbulence forces the plane into a nose-dive, the Sliders find no crew in the cockpit. They are doomed. The Sliders discover it is a simulation, and the passengers -- all strong, young types -- disembark into a warehouse. A video screen announces the beginning of “the game,” as the passengers choose from a selection of weapons. The Sliders elect not to join the game, but overbearing heat from panels built into the ceiling force them out. They enter a peaceful neighborhood, but lawn sprinklers pop up shooting laser bolts, until Quinn (Jerry O’Connell) and Arturo (John Rhys-Davies) jam the devices.

While exploring this world, a beautiful woman, Monique (Mari Morrow), mistakes Rembrandt for his double, and flies him to Los Angeles for lunch agreeing to return him in time to make the slide out. Later, the remaining three are chased by a group of motorcycles, and soon are trapped. One motorcyclist, Logan St. Clair (Zoe McLellan), knows they are sliders, and recognizes Arturo (John Rhys-Davies), whom she thought was dead. She claims that she did not know Arturo well, but his death was a great loss for the program. She takes them to her lab, where she and Arturo worked on the sliding project. Logan points out that a probe to another dimension is returning. It comes in melted, as all the probes seem to do. It seems they can create and track the wormholes, but they cannot control the re-entry coordinates.
