When originally working on the series' scripts in the writers' room, the plot revolving around Walters' origin was in the fourth episode of the series. Gao wanted the series to start "in situ" so the audience could have a few episodes to get to know the character and her reluctance in her life after her accident, with the backstory in the fourth episode giving context to what was previously seen. However, as the series began production, this material was pushed to the eighth episode of the series, which was the result of "a lot of discussion". Finally, while in post-production, the Marvel Studios executives wanted to move Walters' origin to the first episode because they were finding from test screenings that the audience wanted to know more about the character sooner. Gao was resistant to this change because she had taken for granted that the average viewer would have been able to know and understand the character going into the series at a similar level as her. She ultimately was happy with the outcome, but wished she had been able to design the episode to accommodate the origin from the start.
