Today's graphic of Elizabeth combined with the quote from Joe doesn't mean that Joe has had plastic surgery to look like Elizabeth - or that he's had the quickest sex change operation in history.
No, it's simply that Joe is scripted to deliver today's quote -
Page 30 - Joe: 'I don't understand. The Sheriff said she'd been attacked by an animal.'
- but in the actual pilot it's Elizabeth who, after Carolyn's appearance, asks "Can I walk with her?" - and after it being indicated that she can, does so as Carolyn is taken off.
And at this point in the pilot the scene picks up next with stuff taken from the corridor scene. However, the script still has four more days worth of quotes to be featured before we get to that point in the slideshow. And fear not because much of the stuff that was scripted/dropped from the upcoming four quotes from the hospital room scene will be dealt with in one form or another in the new version of the corridor scene.
Also, with his explanation about Carolyn's accident, we saw the last of Joe's dialogue in the pilot. He does appear in one more scene, but he doesn't speak - and you'll understand why when we get to the scene in October. And speaking of Carolyn, she also has only one more scene coming up in the pilot - and not coincidentally, it's the same scene in which Joe doesn't speak. Interestingly, though, in the script they both share an upcoming scene with Julia followed by a long exchange between the two of them once Julia leaves the room - however, the scene was never shot - and that's most likely because Kelly Hu wasn't cast as Julia until like halfway through the production of the pilot. But the scene will be coming up in the slideshow in August/September...
