  Willow: They didn’t find the snake? (Xander shakes his head) Which means we probably will some day. Oh Goody!
• What Could Have Been:
  • Machida was originally supposed to be in at least two episodes, but the makeup was too difficult to put on, and there were some technical problems (such as one of the stuntmen fainting), he was killed off.
  • The following is from the original script:
  Tom comes to near the altar. And, unbeknownst to any of our heroes, the snake body begins slowly moving. Until it joins up with the torso. A squooshy sound of flesh and protoplasm meeting and the two halves re-join!
  Cordelia: You’re going to jail for about fifteen thousand years. Oh God, it’s over…it’s really……
  That’s when Machida, re-joined, suddenly pops up again.
  Angel takes a threatening step forward next to Buffy, growls.
  Machida towers over Tom.
  Machida: For a hundred years I have given your forbears wealth and power. And this is how you repay me. From this day forth you are alone in the world.
  Machida slides back down. Cordelia is afraid to breathe. With good reason. Machida pops back up, grabs Tom.
  Machida: One for the road”
  Machida disappears into the pit with Tom. We hear Tom’s screams, a quick couple of chomps and then silence.
