This scene was cut for two reasons: time and because we decided to decrease the focus on this subplot. If it had aired it would have occurred before the Sheriff's Dept scene in Act 1 occurred.

Larry is working on an exhibit near the entrance. Deputy Green appears outside the glass doors and knocks. Larry goes to the doors, unlocks and opens one.

He steps back to let him in. Green continues talking as he enters and Larry re- locks the doors.

Larry perks up at this information.

This scene was trimmed for time. This is how it would have aired in its entirety.

Isabel is at a table with two of her friends (previously seen in Leaving Normal and The Toy House.)

Elana and Vanessa smile broadly.

As Isabel starts to answer, the camera pans over to Alex and Maria sitting at a table eating lunch. Max and Liz can be seen in the background, nestled together under a tree, talking quietly. Max is leaning against the tree and Liz is leaning against his chest, but looking up at Max; his arms are wrapped around her. They are completely engrossed in each other.

This scene was trimmed for time. This is how it would have aired in its entirety.

Alex, Maria, and the rest of the band members: Chris, Marcos and Nicky, are there, as are other bands. Elana and Vanessa, and the rest of the dance committee who will be choosing the band, are seated in the front row. The auditioners are scattered among the seats in the auditorium. There is one set of drums on stage, to be used by all the auditioners. Alex, Marcos and Nicky are holding their guitars and Chris a pair of drumsticks. Chris is "drumming" on the back of the seats. Marcos and Nicky are tuning their guitars. Alex, his back to the stage, is arguing with Maria.

The guys see the determined look on Maria s face. Nicky shrugs.

Maria sings the last two stanzas of the song a capella. Others in the auditorium turn and listen.

There is a smattering of applause from others in the auditorium.

Chris, Nicky and Marcos nod and mutter words of appreciation. Maria smiles at the attention.

Maria swirls on him angrily but before she can respond, Vanessa stands up from the front row and makes an announcement.

Alex, Maria and the others climb the stairs to the stage and start to set up. Elana and Vanessa exchange stunned looks.

This was a possibility for the conversation between Kyle and Isabel at the party, but we couldn't agree on whether Kyle would say that and decided to go in a different direction.

This scene was trimmed for time. This is how it would have aired in its entirety.

Alex and Michael watch as Max, Liz, Maria and Isabel approach.

Max, Liz, Maria, and Isabel look at each other. They point at each other in various ways, trying to figure out which pair Michael could be referring to.

Max turns to Alex who nods. Maria seems unconvinced but before she can say anything, Michael interrupts.

Liz waits, thinking there's more. There isn't.

She steps face to face with Michael.

Michael points at Kyle, who can be seen through the living room window talking to Elana and Vanessa, who are trying their best to ignore him.

Alex perks up at this information.

Alex moves closer to Michael, as if in support.

Max puts his arm around Liz and glares at Michael for his verbal attack on her but remains calm in his response.

Michael glares at Maria but then heads towards the house.

There are nods and sighs from the others as they start back toward the house. As they enter the house, they pass Phillip and Diane who look concerned at the serious expressions on the kids' faces. Isabel notices and forces a smile.

This scene was trimmed for time. This is how it would have aired in its entirety, with a slight change at the end.

Max, Liz, Michael, Maria, Isabel and Alex are standing near an entrance to the school that is not in the main flow of traffic, wearing their new looks and trying to remain inconspicuous. They are all wearing clothing suitable for middle-aged parents. Max is now blond with a beard, Liz's black hair with gray highlights is in a bun and she is wearing granny glasses, Maria's sable brown tresses are permed and she is wearing faux tortoise-shelled glasses, Isabel's dark brown hair is in a french twist and her burgundy colored glasses have beveled lenses, Alex now has ash blonde hair and a mustache and Michael is the same as in the Eraser Room, with the addition of glasses with black rims. It's obvious they have been discussing their mission.

Liz places her hand in the crook of Max's arm. Alex, Maria and Isabel look mildly amused at Liz's eagerness. Max smiles down at Liz. Michael, Alex, Maria and Isabel are not rushing to choose a partner and are avoiding looking each other in the eye. Finally Isabel moves towards Alex and takes his arm. He does not resist but he does not beam at her attention either. She pretends not to notice.

They split up, each set of pairs going down different hallways. The camera follows Michael and Maria. Michael stalks off ahead of Maria and she has to rush after him.

Michael pulls ahead again and starts to turn left at the intersection.

Michael stops and turns to her.

On Michael's embarrassed expression we cut to:

This scene was trimmed for time. For those of you wondering what happened to Jen after she went to the restroom, here is the explanation. :- )

Jen exits the kitchen. Max, Liz and Maria are using surreptitious signals to determine who should bring up the bullet. They look on in horror as Nancy takes the plate and starts walking towards the exit with it.

Suddenly Maria screams, causing everyone to jump and Nancy to drop the plate. The gunk on the plate splatters on the floor. Maria, Max and Liz watch apprehensively as the bullet skids across the floor towards the grill; it looks like it might go under it.

Nancy heads towards the sink

Nancy has stepped on something that hurt her foot and stops to examine it.

Jeff stoops and picks up the object Nancy is pointing at, then holds it in the palm of his hand to examine it. The others gather around.

The others call out goodnight as we hear the back door open and close, but their attention stays on the metal lump in Jeff s hand.
