"Mirror Image" (the series finale) was originally intended to be a season cliffhanger into the sixth season, but the show was cancelled due to low ratings in the end of the fifth season. The producers then decided to reshoot some scenes and make this episode the series finale. The result was rendering the episode a bit lacking, and leaving many questions unanswered. The ending was left open to allow for the possibility of a TV-movie, or even a theatrical film at some point. Neither ever came to pass.
The end is not really lacking. When Sam fixes Al's past, he sacrifices his chance at coming home. He knew that Beth would believe him and wait for Al. Because Al and Beth reunite upon his return, Al never joins the Quantum Leap program. Therefore, Al is never there to help Sam find his way home.
