The shot of Brenda explaining that she was going to stay until the killer had been caught is slightly longer in the TV Version. In addition to that, Sarah agrees at the end of the shot of Brenda in the TV Version (from the off) while she agrees on-screen in the Blu-ray Version ("Of course."). The subsequent alteration explains why that is…

TV Version 0.72 sec longer


Additional Scene / Extended Scene TV Version
04:53 / 05:27

…because only on Blu-ray, Sarah attempts to avoid the inevitable.
Sarah: "Of course."
Dylan: "Of course."
Sarah: "Yeah, I just wish the house wasn't such a mess and…"
Brenda: "Don't worry about any of that or me. I spent half my life here in this lovely town, I can certainly take care of myself."
(Dylan: "OK, I'm just gonna put this up in the guest room.")

The shot of Dylan starts a little earlier in the TV Version (0.72 sec). As a consequence thereof, only the TV Version shows him responding completely on-screen ("OK, I'm just gonna put this up in the guest room."). The Blu-ray still shows Brenda when he says "OK".

Sarah laughs, then she says: "Sun salutations and blackberry sangria?"
Robin: "Yeah."
Sarah: "You guys really went all out, huh?"
Robin: "Oh, Waterbury is normally a very sleepy town. Tomorrow night, we're gonna party. Hard. All night long."

The conversation with the cops regarding the severed finger starts earlier on Blu-ray.
Sarah: "Why would The Executioner send me Verna McBride's finger?"
Chief Vaughn: "Can we quit refering to him as The Executioner like he's some goddamn supervillain?"
Sarah: "Really? That's what you're worried about? What I'm calling him?"
Chief Vaughn: "I'm worried about arousing unnecessary panic."
Dylan: "Yeah, well, it's a little late for that, sir. There's a serial killer attacking…"
Chief Vaughn: "Once. He's killed once. That does not make him serial killer. (Now, this envelope doesn't have any postage on it which means that somebody had to drop it off.")

22.96 sec



Extended Scene
11:33 / 13:53

And again, their conversation is longer. Only this time, there is just a small little additional comment.

Dylan: "Yeah, well, there's a psycho killer on the loose. Everyone's in danger."
Brenda: "Yeah, but I think she'd be better with me at home."
Dylan: "Well, she doesn't agree and it's her decision."
Brenda: "Because she won't leave you. But if you let her…"
Dylan: "If I let her. You really don't understand how this works, do you? Sarah's not mine. I can't tell her what she can or cannot do. She's my partner. My equal in everything. And I know you think I stole her from you but the fact is she was never yours to steal. So get over it. It's her decision. End of discussion. Good talk though."
Dylan then ditches Brenda who can't stop herself from saying "Nice bike, princess.".
Now, Brenda leaves as well.

The beginning of the shot of the skeleton Sarah finds inside the cave is missing on Blu-ray. Probably removed because it is so dark that one can see a big, fat zippo resp. the longer the shot goes on, the brighter it gets when Sarah uses the light on her phone as some kind of torch.

To illustrate what I am talking about, here a screenshot of the end of the shot:

Alison: "OK. (So, Peter McBride joins the circus.)"

10.68 sec


Additional Scene
23:58 / 28:48

After Alison's theory regarding the death of Peter McBride, the Blu-ray contains some additional footage.

Justin: "I wasn't there for you last night."
Robin: "No, I wasn't with you. If I had been, I wouldn't have been alone and an easy target. Do not feel guilty about what happened."

On Blu-ray, the shot is not over yet.
Robin: "Now, it looks like Cam benches a good hundred pounds more than you."
Justin: "Hey…"
The TV Version also contains Robin's comment about Cam's weight and Justin's reaction - alternate footage has been used though.

Justin: "I'm sure they are but promise me you'll take it easy."

6.12 sec



Alternate Footage
33:53 / 40:03

Alternate footage of Justin doing blow. As a result, only the Blu-ray actually shows him snorting coke. In the TV Version, he does it off-screen which is most likely the reason why the TV Version zooms in on it in the first place. Also, Justin's reaction is a little different.

In the TV Version, the last seconds before the commercial break are being repeated afterwards. For that reason, it is considered a missing scene on Blu-ray even though it is quite obvious that there is no commercial break on Blu-ray which is why there is no repetition necessary.

Tom: "He or she is smart. A magician. Got you looking over here while he was killing over there."
Sarah: "Fine. He's the Houdini of serial killers. (But I've done my research, OK? None of the punishments for deadly sins involve poison.)"

With Sarah's "But I've done my research, OK?", the versions are more or less back inn sync resp. alternate footage is being used here. The Blu-ray stick with Sarah while the TV Version shows Tom at first. At the beginning of her comment "None of the punishments for deadly sins involve poison.", the TV Version cuts to Sarah.
