- The next-day forecast begins with a diner and separate rooms in one hotel, followed by Graduate-like uncertainty; another version has Sam visiting Annie's room once Jonah sleeps.
- Annie is expected to move to Seattle and lose her Baltimore Sun job for misuse of resources, a speculative aftermath rather than an onscreen fact.
- The silent, awkward elevator walk is criticized as robotic but defended as a believable, brief first meeting; a hot-dog walk is an alternative to the diner.
- The pair's first questions may expose alarming stalking rather than romance; Sam's duty to protect Jonah, lack of identity verification and the unattended backpack all challenge the fantasy.
