- After Gerard drives his truck head on at Alex' car and only swerves away at the last minute but quickly turns the truck around to pursue Alex, CBS cut Alex calling Gerard a "son of a bitch." And almost 30 seconds of the action involving Gerard ramming the back of Alex' car and then pulling up alongside the car to ram it off the road is cut - though in that case I would imagine it was for time and nothing to do with standards and practices. Though who knows?
