The original plans for this episode were much more elaborate:

* Wade's double would have been referred as Wade-Kathleen

* Charlie O'Connell had a much larger role as QR's younger brother, the idealistic Robbie

* Wing would have returned as QR's long-time enemy Clifford Wing

* QR is still alive more much of the episode and is conducting an affair with Wade-Kathleen's sister.

* Wade-Kathleen has a drinking problem and has been involved with Cliff Wing

Finally the episode ends with Jerry O'Connell getting shot. The Cliffhanger "Who Shot Which Quinn?"

"If we end every season with the possibility of Quinn him think were going to kill him every season, it will keep him humble,"mused Torme.

The conclusion would have resolved the PTSS storyline when Suspicion falls on the Professor as the main suspect.

BTW, if you thought this "original script" was too derivative. You don't want to see this author's proposal for an "Invasion" follow-up. It's titled "Dynasty".
