The script that the completed episode of the same name is based has several major differences between its script and final product.

• Starbuck, Apollo, and Boomer are undercover in a bar attempting to find information on the Cylon pursuit.
• The Cylons have a plan to attack and ram Galactica called "The Delta Factor".
• Starbuck is convicted of killing the husband of a woman he meets.
• Apollo is forced to seek out laser power packs for Adama's surgery.
• Starbuck uses his Viper to extinguish a blaze.
• Boxey, who just happens to witness the murder Starbuck is falsely charged with doing, is targeted by the real killer himself, but is saved (in a timely fashion) by Apollo.

Notes

Coincidentally, this is the script that results in Sloan getting a story-by credit on "Murder on the Rising Star", since the murder plot in this original script draft is moved to become part of the "Murder" episode.
