On the final two pages of the first chapter, similar liberties were taken with the script. Page twenty-two was originally written as a four-panel page. The second panel was described thus:

Buffy drops to the ground, exhausted, wrapping her hand in her coat. Still poised like an animal for flight, up on the tip-toes of her highpoint sneakers. The Ring of Fire is dimming behind her, the flames withdrawing back into the grooves in the ground. Behind the dimming flames, Willow, Xander and Oz stand huddled against a mossy wall.
