And now here's DC's script's first version of Scene 63:
63 INT. - JULIA'S ROOM COLLINWOOD - NIGHT
Rev. 3/25/70

It is later. We come in on the unconcious Daphne. She is receiving a blood transfusion. A nurse sits by the bed. The Sheriff is bending over looking at the fang marks.
SHERIFF I don't understand those marks, doctor. Julia is replacing bandage JULIA Neither do I, Sheriff.George They x to mirror SHERIFF It looks almost as if it could be a human bite. |____________________________ CU Julia

They move toward the door. Julia to the nurse:
JULIA I'll sleep in the next room tonight. If she becomes conscious again, wake me. When she regains ness
SHERIFF Why didn't she remember anything? Why?

It's fascinating that even with all those changes, and then changes to the changes, they still ended up doing another rewrite before the scene was shot, which, for what it's worth, was originally supposed to be on April 1st. Though I do suspect that the reason why they switched from Julia not completely understanding Daphne's condition to the sheriff being the one who's totally puzzled is because even at the point of this scene, given some of Julia's body language, it seems as if she could have her suspicions.
And yes, the first instance of "unconscious," as in "We come in on the unconcious Daphne" is misspelled in the script...
