Wrapping up this particular section of the current sequence, beginning with Julia's scripted reaction to Daphne's hysteria:
Julia moves quickly to calm her, cradling her in her arms.

And that's where today's first quote -
Page 114/Scene 254 - Julia: 'It's alright. It's alright, Daphne. No one is going to hurt you. You can sleep now. You're safe... you're safe.'
- comes up, followed by the script explaining:
She settles Daphne back onto the pillows, watching her closely, as the girl's breathing becomes more regular.
A beat, she turns to look at the two men. They are both standing there, stunned by what's just happened.
254A CLOSE - WOODARD
As he studies the girl for a long moment. Then, eyes narrowing, he turns to look at Julia. HOLD a beat, and . . .

And when it comes to what's different about the dialogue, what Julia actually says as she's calming Daphne is "It's alright, Daphne. It's alright. You're safe. You're quite safe here. Calm down. It's alright. No one is going to hurt you. No one will hurt you. You'll be alright, Daphne. There. Now... you can go to sleep. Quite safe" - and after a bit she also adds an unscripted "Go to sleep."
And when it comes to any differences in the direction and descriptions, while Julia does indeed move quickly to calm Daphne, she does not cradle Daphne in her arms because what she actually does is reach out and hold Daphne as she calms her with her words - and because of that Julia doesn't settle Daphne back onto the pillows, but she does watch Daphne closely as her breathing becomes more regular - and after having turned to Woodard and Patterson, Julia actually rubs Daphne's shoulder, and that's also when she adds the unscripted "Go to sleep" - and Scene 254A does not appear in any version of the pilot, nor is it indicated anywhere as having been shot.
