Parallel Play

There were two further scenes in the script that occurred after what is the current ending of this episode. The first showed firemen arriving at the house after the bonfire has been extinguished. Claire and Anita flirt with the firemen, music is blasting, Claire is taking pictures and George and Ruth have their own interactions with the firemen. The next scene showed Nate lying in the grass alone, probably thinking about Lisa. Both scenes were cut in favor of ending the episode with the bonfire. Several shots of the first scene can be found in the "Cut by Cut: Editing Six Feet Under" featurette available on disc 5 of the Season 4 DVD set; however, the second scene was cut before it was even filmed.

As Nate is going back into the coach house to get more items to put into the fire, you can clearly see his mic from the back of his shirt.
