A scene was filmed where River is so intrigued by the idea of Mal marrying Saffron she proposes that she and her brother Simon get married, something that horrifies him but highly amuses the rest of the crew. When he refuses she sticks a jumper under her top and tells him they must be married as she is now pregnant. The scene was cut from the show so River now has no lines whatsoever in the episode but is obliquely referred to by Joss Whedon and Alan Tudyk in their DVD commentaries, hinting at an incestuous relationship between the Tam siblings. These comments are baffling to the viewer until they watch the deleted scenes section on the DVDs where the sequence is included.
