“Just Say Yes” is episode seven of season four of Sliders.
The Sliders, including Colin, who joined them in the previous episode, “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?”, slide into a closet. Maggie is unhappy and starts arguing with Quinn. Colin asks Rembrandt if Quinn and Maggie argue a lot as they head to get a drink. Though Rembrandt doesn’t think much of the selection. Quinn and Maggie are arguing over her swatting a mosquito – an endangered species – when a man, Damon, asks if he can be of assistance. Maggie tells him no, and continues doing so when he persists. Damon says he’s a licensed facilitator and he thinks her dosage needs adjustment. And shoots her with a dart gun. She falls to the ground. And starts smiling.
Maggie is helped up. She seems high and Quinn asks Damon what he gave her. A standard mood elevator; she seemed to need it. And Quinn looks to as well. Damon’s attempt to drug Quinn hits Colin instead. Maggie is now dancing and dances out of the hotel. Quinn and Damon follow and Quinn has to tackle Maggie to get her out of the way of a bus. Damon says the drug shouldn’t do this; his clinic is on the next block.
At the clinic, the doctor, Helena Malone, asks Quinn if Maggie has had a reaction to the drug before. He says she’s never had it before. The doctor wants to know what Maggie is taking, and checks her arm. Not finding what she was looking for, she asks Quinn if he has one. A medication dispenser. Like hers. He doesn’t; he’s not from around here. The doctor muses that some places are still taking medication orally. Like parts of Canada. Not knowing Maggie’s regular prescription, the doctor decides to neutralise all the drugs in her system. She then takes Quinn to the waiting room and leaves. Quinn opens the door and hears her making a call about him. When the doctor and Damon come out to tranq him, Quinn is gone. Quinn finds Rembrandt, with a passed-out Co0lin, and says they need to leave.
Quinn’s double on this world, according to Agent Fletcher Lowell of the Drug Empowerment Agency, has been busted for nonpossession and fled the country. Damon heard he died of an underdose. Lowell says he must have snuck back in to spread more anti-drug propaganda. Damon heads out with more facilitators.
Quinn is telling Rembrandt that everyone is on something when Colin comes around. Colin wants more drugs and runs after Damon’s car, begging for more. He gets some. Quinn and Rembrandt manage to get away.
Maggie is being questioned and not cooperating. So, she’s drugged. Damon returns with Colin, explaining he’s Quinn’s brother, and Lowell asks how he and Quinn got there. Colin tells the truth. Lowell thinks he’s been drug deprived for too long.
Rembrandt and Quinn are outside the clinic and they watch Maggie and Colin taken away. They try to get a taxi to follow them, but the driver is too high to do so. Instead, Quinn suggests they check the clinic to see where the others were taken. The place has zero security and Quinn finds a video of his double telling everyone to tune out, turn off and drop in. Rembrandt has found the others have been transferred to Reorientation Compound 4.
Which looks like, and is, an ordinary house. Colin answers the door. Both are now wearing dispensers and both are high. Both have also decided to stay on this world, because they feel so good. Quinn and Rembrandt only have a few hours to get Colin and Maggie ready, against their current wishes, and they really want them sober when they slide. And they’re being pursued by the DEA, to make things harder.
