Following Prefect [[Caston]]'s discovery of [[Zoe Graystone]]'s forbidden use of a [[holoband]] in the restroom, Graystone is brought before Sister [[Clarice Willow]]. In her closed office, Willow admonishes Graystone for having second thoughts and "acting out, looking for ways to get caught." 

Graystone protests that she isn't, but Willow assures her that it's all right for her to have second thoughts, as it is "perfectly natural, especially in someone so young" and that she "need not be ashamed of your fear." Willow notes that Graystone is at a crossroads, and can only go either backwards or forwards.

Graystone reaffirms [[Maglev 23|her decision to go forward]], noting that she hasn't been so certain of anything in her life. Willow then notes that she'll send a formal letter of misconduct to the Graystones, but wishes her good luck. Graystone kisses Willow's ring, and is dismissed from the office.

Outside the office, [[Lacy Rand]] meets Graystone and they discuss their next steps; Graystone reiterates Willow's statements about having second thoughts and not being ashamed of the fear they bring. Rand reaffirms her desire to go through with their plan.

After entering the domicile, a hostile Joseph Adama tells Willie to go to his room with haste. Following that, he rebukes [[Ruth]] for planting ideas in Willie's head relating to the [[Temple of Mars]] and a dismissal of the virtual after-life. Ruth dismisses Joseph's opinion, noting that it is like "those Caprican nut cases and their afterlife nonsense." 

Joseph tells Ruth off in [[Tauronese]], and Ruth presses on with her belief that Willie knows he is a Tauron "deep down inside," and that the his heritage should not lost to him and buried under degenerate Caprican societal beliefs.

: ''Note: This is the only time a Sagittaron connection in her past is noted. In the [[Caprica (series)|series proper]], all other information about her youth is based around [[Gemenon]], suggesting that this scene was discarded due to both this backstory revision and the abandonment of the [[Ben-A]] subplot.

=== Zoe-R Asks Serge for Help in Building a Holoband Interface ===

[[File:Caprica - Reins of a Waterfall - Deleted Scene - Zoe-R and Serge.png|thumb|[[Zoe-R]] asks [[Serge]] for help {{CAP|Reins of a Waterfall|del1=y}}. ''Note: [[Alessandra Torresani]] is speaking to a chroma-stick stand-in for Serge, featuring a blue-colored LED denoting Serge's "eye line."'']]

Unable to wear a standard [[holoband]] in her [[U-87|robotic form]], [[Zoe-R]] asks [[Serge]] for help. In the discussion that follows in [[Daniel Graystone]]'s home workshop, Zoe gives Serge a shopping list of her needs, including a [[wireless mobile pack]] from her old room, a set of tools, and privacy. 

Serge asks if he should lock the residence in "maximum security mode," but Zoe-R specifically asks to be notified when anyone comes down stairs. He replies using her name, which pleases her; Serge replies that it's nice to "have her home." 

: ''Note: [[Alessandra Torresani]] is speaking to a chroma-stick stand-in for Serge, featuring a blue-colored LED denoting Serge's "eye line." As the scene was cut, CGI work was not composited for this scene, even in pre-visualization form. Additionally, the chroma-stick was radio control (RC) operated, likely added upon a modified RC-car chassis, which can be heard in this scene as "Serge" leaves the camera shot.''

[[File:Caprica - Reins of a Waterfall - Deleted Scene - Ruth and Joseph Adama.png|thumb|[[Ruth]] asks [[Joseph Adama]] if he's [[Tauron]] or {{RDM|Caprica}}n {{CAP|Reins of a Waterfall|del1=y}}.]]

[[Ruth]] {{inlineref|meatprep|cuts up meat|bold=N}} in the kitchen while [[Joseph Adama]] drinks from a cup. The topic for discussion is justice for [[Shannon Adama]] and [[Tamara Adama]]. Joseph assures Ruth that justice shall be done as it should be, which Ruth replies that "those fancy court rooms just get in the way" of justice. 

Joseph replies that there has to be order, and Ruth scoffs that "Order's nice, if it's on your side." She presses on, saying that he needs to start thinking about "who you are," and asks if he is a [[Tauron]], invoking the Tauron pronunciation of his name in the inquiry. After asking the question again, Joseph ponders the answer and the scene ends.

: ''Note: This is [[Ruth]]'s only appearance in the episode, and so she is not credited in the episodes titles.''

== Gravedancing ==

=== Baxter Sarno Extended Monologue ===

[[File:Caprica - Gravedancing - Deleted Scene - Baxter Sarno and Picon Monologue.png|thumb|[[Baxter Sarno]]'s monologue discussing {{RDM|Picon}}'s demand of an apology from {{RDM|Caprica}}, prior to [[Daniel Graystone]]'s interview post-[[Maglev 23]] {{CAP|Gravedancing|del1=y}}.]]

An extended version of [[Baxter Sarno]]'s monologue before [[Daniel Graystone]] appears on stage in his first interview post-[[Maglev 23]] bombing. In the monologue, Sarno notes that {{RDM|Picon}} demands {{RDM|Caprica}} apologize for "raising the ambient level of terror in the colonies," to which he punctuates with the punchline that Caprica would agree to do so on the condition that Picon "apologize for being a prick." He adds that he mocks Picon because they are "barely a planet."

He leads into his second and last joke about security being called to his studio for "bombing," but lacking the clarity in that he was the one "bombing" in his jokes. The audience boos in relation to the tone-deaf nature of the joke, while backstage [[Cyrus Xander]] notes that Graystone is about to be introduced on stage. Graystone knows and asks for a moment of composure, while [[Priyah Magnus]] sits by his side in the makeup room.

=== Zoe-R Instructs Serge to Purge All New References to Zoe ===

[[File:Caprica - Gravedancing - Deleted Scene - Zoe-R and Serge.png|thumb|[[Zoe-R]] instructs [[Serge]] to purge all post-death references to Zoe from its database {{CAP|Gravedancing|del1=y}}. Note: Chroma-stick with LED is used as a practical stand-in for Serge during shooting, with instructions to the [[VFX]] team to "add Serge" in post-production.]]

In [[Daniel Graystone]]'s personal lab, [[Zoe-R]] instructs [[Serge]] to remove all new references (post [[Maglev 23]] bombing) to [[Zoe Graystone]] to prevent her parents' knowledge of the [[Zoe-A|avatar's existence]], and to "actively deny" that she's here.

After Serge does so, Zoe-R asks Serge if they [[Zoe Graystone|miss her]]. Serge doesn't understand the question due to the new instructions Zoe-R gave it, and Zoe-R notes that "she probably hurt a lot of people," and Serge replies that he has "no reason to disagree" with that assessment. Zoe-R dismisses Serge, and she returns to working on the laptop.

: ''Note: In the initial scene, [[:File:Caprica - Gravedancing - Deleted Scene - Zoe-R Stage Indicator.png|a clear tube with multiple green LEDs (and one blue LED for the eye-line)]], is shown with the chyron "VFX - ADD ZOE-ROBOT." As the camera transitions beyond the worktable, [[Alessandra Torresani]] appears as [[Zoe-R]]'s humanoid form as she speaks to [[Serge]], who is represented by a chroma-green stick with a singular blue LED eye-line indicator. After Serge is dismissed towards the end of the scene, a transition occurs using the worktable as a blocking mechanism to facilitate a switch-over to the Zoe-R as [[U-87]] reference point. As the transition occurs, the clear tube with LED indicators can be seen shaking from its placement on camera by a hidden stagehand.''
