June 6, 1961: As a high school nerd, Sam must prevent his sweet sister from marrying an abusive drinker, with the wedding only three days away. This hits a little close to home, as Sam's own sister married into the exact same situation at a young age.
By drag racing the prospective husband, and beating him with a car that couldn't have won without nitrous oxide, Sam is able to bring the groom's true tendencies to the surface, affecting more than just his sister.

In this episode we learn about Sam's little sister Katie, and how she married an abusive alcoholic.
(edit)
Kevin Spirtas who is best known for playing Craig Westley on Days of Our Lives, is listed in the credits as "Kevin Brown." He changed his name after this episode aired.

This episode's "kiss with history": Michael Jackson. As Sam stands in the bathroom of the reception hall, a young (and somehow familiar) boy exits a stall. When the boy does a small dance step, Sam counters with dance moves of his own, possibly 'teaching' the moonwalk to the young Michael Jackson.
(edit)
Al: He-he-he-he-he-he… you know normally, I’m against spreading men’s room gossip, but in this case…
Sam: It would be criminal not to. (edit) Jill: Cam?! Are you naked?
Al: Do the initials B.A. mean anything to you? (edit) Sam: (Just after leaping in) My God, I'm a dork. A dork with teeth that could pick up radio transmissions. Oh boy... (edit)

The episode title, "Camikazi Kid" uses the Japanese word meaning "Divine Wind," used to describe suicide pilots. However, it is spelled incorrectly. The correct spelling is "kamikaze". The reason that it's spelled that way was to link the title back to the leaper's name, Cameron (Cam, for short).
(edit)
Just before he leaps, Sam is about to kiss the teen girl and the song playing is "Let It Be Me". But the version playing is from 1964, by Betty Everett and Jerry Butler, 3 years in the future. The Everly Brothers original should have been played, from 1960.
