The unaired pilot is almost identical to the first episode "Wax Lion" with only a few changes. Most notably, the characters of Mahandra and Aaron are played by different actors; Kerry Washington and Adam Scott respectively. In the DVD commentary, the creators explain that the original actors were unable to commit to future episodes. This version is also missing two scenes. It omits the scene where Jaye throws a quarter into the fountain near the beginning of the episode. The network supposedly wanted an impetus for why the muses started talking and added this scene. The second scene omitted is when Thomas tells Jaye at the end that he is going to marry the nurse. The scene was added because the network wanted the Thomas subplot resolved, even though the creators disliked the scene.
