I do admit that I find the “TO BE SHOT” part to be slightly curious, like, is it something that hadn’t been shot yet due to actor unavailability, so it’s gotta be added in last minute? But, I’m certainly not gonna get any hopes *twitch* up, because it probably means something completely different.
That is a good observation. It would be similar to Merlin’s scene from “The Dark Swan.” According to Elliot Knight, it wasn’t originally filmed with the rest of the episode, nor was it even in the initial script. Though with this supposed Neal scene, it might have been in the script all along, and they just needed to schedule around MRJ’s availability.
