Now the answers seem to be in the year 1965, Gavin heads there with his daughter, his niece and Sam … whose daughter may be captive with Gavin’s wife and son.

2) “Quantum Leap,” 10 p.m., NBC. Unlike “La Brea,” his scii-fi show remains kind of reasonable. Time shifts are moderate; dinosaurs are scarce. Tonight, Ben leaps back into the 1980s, when a TV reporter chases a conspiracy theory; at the lab, Ian’s past decisions pose a problem … leading into next week’s two-hour season-finale.

3) “The Bachelor,” 8-10:01 p.m., ABC. The dramas – “Rookie,” “Will Trent,” “Good Doctor” – will finally start their seasons next week. This week, however, “Bachelor” gets a second night. It starts with the end of Monday’s messy cocktail party; then everyone goes to Spain for more dates, airing on the eve of Valentine’s Day.

4) “Gospel” conclusion, 9-11 p.m., PBS. In Monday’s opener, Henry Louis Gates took us through the early years of gospel music, with soaring voices and soulful lyrics. Now the changes come. Kirk Franklin and others briing flash, flair and a rock attitude. As producer Donald Lawrence puts it, “They want the Good News without the rules.”

5) “Good Trouble,” 10 p.m., Freeform. A well-made show is near its end, with no new Freeform dramas on the horizon. Callie and Jamie are engaged and his mother wants to throw an engagement party, stirring trouble. Also, Dennis and Davia’s date night is interrupted and Joaquin gets key info.
