Oh right, while I remembered that he *chose* to keep leaping, I forgot that he was doing it so somebody else wouldn't be stuck leaping or some similar twist.

His best friend Al was a soldier in Vietnam. At one point he's taken captive, and spends a few years in a POW camp. When he finally comes home, he discovers that his wife has remarried, because she assumed he'd died. Because she was basically the one true love of his life, he never really has a successful, stable relationship afterwards, and still sort of regrets that he lost her. This has actually been established across multiple previous episodes - and in one episode, Sam actually has a chance to potentially save Al, but doesn't, because he's too focused on completing the requirements of the Leap for the person he's inhabiting (which he feels guilty about later).

In the finale, Sam is given the choice to pick ONE Leap that he has full control over - which he can use to Leap home. Instead, he uses it to Leap back to visit Al's wife, telling her that Al is still alive and she should wait for him. In the new reality, she waits, they stay married, and have a happy life together with multiple kids.

But "Dr. Samuel Becket never returned home".
