Whilst Lidster was working on the treatment, Davies decided to reclaim the idea for use as the opening episode of Series 2. Pressure from other projects meant Davies was only able to write the first scene of the episode, after which it was handed over to Chris Chibnall who incorporated it into what would become the episode "Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang". Davies was impressed with a scene from Lidster's treatment involving Ianto and Maggie on the supermarket roof and asked him to use it in an episode based around their relationship, a dead man helping a grieving widow stay alive, which became the episode "A Day in the Death", which would now feature Owen in place of Ianto.
