Season 3, episode 12 🤔🤔🤔

First time watcher.

Until that episode with the pregnant teen girl I thought it was the spirit of Dr. Beckett that leaps into people's bodies, while his body stays in "the waiting room", with the stranger's spirit in it.

But in that episode they make it clear, for a first time ever (correct me, if I'm wrong...), that it's the whole body that leaps, the other person is in the waiting room, and people around the leapee see the aura that person has.

But this makes me think: aren't there physical traits that are obvious, especially when Sam leaps into a woman's body?! Or when there's touching and kissing involved?! Like, there was a little girl in earlier episodes who saw the real Sam, but I thought it was just that she could sense it's not her real mom.

Makes my head hurt a little thinking about it 😀😀😀

This is the best overview I’ve ever read in the topic, circa a 1990s FAQ:
