In the script, Sheila is introduced as "twenty-three, a knockout in leather jacket, shorts, cartridge belt, boots, an Uzi planted on her hip... A crowd of men watch - attention divided between the equipment and Sheila's - vulnerable eyes, tumbling blonde hair and legs as long as half-time at the Super Bowl."
In the script, Tyler Jastrow is described as "incredibly beautiful, a sultry quality; hair that tumbles onto her shoulders as she breaks into an appealing, disarming smile. She's twenty-six - and is as intelligent and calculating as she is beautiful."
Richard Herd remembered this episode: "That was during my 'bad guy' period," he said. "I was always throwing grenades and firing machine guns back then."
According to the script, the missing Tom O'Malley had been at a desert spa all along, recovering from his first four nights at the survivalist convention.
