Ford completed two drafts of the script before being asked to instead work on that year's finale episode for "Sarah Jane Adventures". By the time he had returned to work on the episode plans for Series 2 had changed significantly. The story arc for series two now involved Owen (rather than Ianto) being killed mid-season and returned to life in an undead state, meaning that the story no longer fit Owen. Ford instead began work on a different episode for Series 2 which would be broadcast as "Something Borrowed".
