Unused Dialogue
Opening Forest Sequence
8 lines marked with an asterisk have their associated subtitles stored in the file forestbeartrap_lee_mark_english.landb. The others have had theirs made from scratch, and as such might not be 100% punctuated like the developers intended. All lines are from an earlier version of the episode's start, with Mark and Lee by themselves.

| Lee |
I'm too hungry to think. |
|
| Lee |
Maybe if we could spot a deer... |
|
| Mark |
Deer? Hell, I'd be happy to find a raccoon. Anything the Walkers haven't already ripped apart. |
|
| Lee |
I dont know, Mark. |
|
| Mark* |
I thought we'd be fine if we survived the Walkers. Never expected that they'd starve us out. |
|
While the line never gets said by anyone in the final release, it is said during Episode 1's "Next Time On" segment. However, in the segment, the line is spoken by Lee, not Mark.
|
| Lee |
Maybe instead of hunting, we should head back to Robins. See if there are any MRE's left. |
|
"Robins" refers to Robins Air Force Base in Warner Robins, Georgia. This is where the group encountered Mark, but it never gets explicitly named in the final release.
|
| Mark |
No way I'm going back there. You saw what it was like when you guys picked me up, completely overrun. |
|
It seems that, at this point, you would've had the usual set of three responses alongside silence.

| Lee |
We've gotten better at defending ourselves since then. |
|
| Mark |
There's still only seven of us, and only five of us any good with a gun. |
|
Mark's math is off. Including himself, there would be nine people in the group at this point.
|
| Lee |
That, uh, includes you? |
|
| Mark |
Okay, four and a half. |

| Lee |
Beats wasting time out here, everything's dead. |
|
| Mark |
Everything except us, and I wanna keep it that way. I barely got out of that base alive. |
|
From this point onwards, it seems that the conversation between Lee and Mark would've simply continued, irregardless of what Lee said previously.

|
| Mark |
You guys went to the base looking to be rescued by the military, and you ended up with a mechanic. |
|
A reason for why the group went to the Air Force base is never given in the final release.
|
| Lee |
You've been a big help, Mark. |
|
| Mark |
Thanks. |

What does Lily think? |
|
| Mark |
These days? She's more concerned about Larry than making any long-term plans. |

What's his problem with you, anyway? |
|
Again, you would get three possible responses, and silence, to choose from. These responses are very similar to the ones used in the final release.

| Mark |
Things can, uh, get tense back at camp. Lily and Kenny sure got different ways of doing things. It wouldn't have been that way back on Robins. |

And Larry's not helping. What's that guy's deal? |

Lee! Please!!! |

This line goes unused, but it's interesting for two reasons. For one, Mr. Parker shouldn't know Lee's name. More notable is that line did get used for episode 1's "Next Time On" segment.

Farmhouse Dinner Sequence
Apparently, while Lee was off to wash his hands, some ambient scenes would have played out. They would've given some extra backstory to members of both groups. The associated subtitles are stored in the file env_dairymainhouseinterior_english.landb.

No, definitely not! My family is from Latvia, but we moved to Florida when I was in my teens. |

In the final game, Katjaa can reveal that she's from Belgium in a determinant conversation in Episode 3. Katjaa is a Germanic spelling, eastern europeans use Katya or Katia, which Katjaa is properly pronounced like.

Well, I took over as business manager eventually. Put that college degree to work. |

Unused Models & Textures
Early versions of stuff that would get (re)used in the future, or just general unused models and textures.
Chuck
Just as some of the characters seen in this episode had early textures present in Episode 1, so does this episode contain early textures for some characters later seen in Episode 3. Chuck, for example, kept the same clothes, but they were made darker and grimier in the final release. His hair and face, however, saw the biggest changes. The final version of Chuck looks way more unkempt. He has dirtier, darker skin, thicker eyebrows, more details on his cheeks and ears, a different nose and eyes, a scruffier beard, and darker hair in a different hairstyle. This version of Chuck was seen (albeit shortly, and only from behind) in the "Next Time On" segment at the end of Episode 2.

Omid
Unlike Christa, Omid wasn't yet present in the game's files for Episode 1. He does, however, have early textures in this episode. Weirdly enough, he only has a body texture with his hurt leg. His body texture basically stayed identical, but it got made a lot dirtier. His face texture was also made a bit dirtier, his skin tone changed slightly, as did his beard type. This earlier version of Omid was also seen in the "Next Time On" segment, in a scene that was not present in the final release.

General Notes
- When Lee meets the unknown group of distracted strangers, there was a completely different scene as either Lee, Kenny or Mark had to help Ben shoot the walkers while one of the three cut off Mr. Parker's leg. If Mr. Parker was left behind, Lee could have the option of leaving Ben as well or take him with you. If this option was made then Mark would die in the bandit raid at the St. Johns dairy, and Mr. Parker would take Mark's role of being dinner.
- Travis did not exist originally at the beginning of the episode, he was added much later.
- Ben was a completely different character in early development, he could use a rifle and was more scared than in the final. He also would tell what really happened to his classmates, and had to witness several traumas such as being forced to see rape. This was a major key factor left out, whereas Ben dealt with the bandits to save a friend he thought they had.
- The group was already aware of the bandits, as they had attacked after the events of "A New Day".
- Lee and the group could choose to bring gas or not. If Lee said no, then Andy would come back with some food every day until the group said yes. Ben would stay behind due to his trauma, with Kenny replacing him in the group going to the dairy. Lilly was more acceptable to the newest member, teaching him the basics.
- Found in the files are unused voice lines related to Brenda that indicate that she was originally not voiced by Jeanie Kelsey, and instead being voiced by an unknown actor, half of her lines seem to be similar to the voice lines heard in the final game with only alterations, there are also completely different lines that weren't recorded by the final voice actor.
- There is a dream sequence present in the game's data, whoever you didn't save in Episode 1 would come back to haunt Lee in his dream asking why they weren't saved, and saying that Clementine will die because of his actions. Lee's ex-wife Sam and the senator Hans are mentioned as well. The scene ends with "Do you think you can save me this time?"
- When the group arrived at the farm, the group could either take the biscuits or leave. (Refusing them apparently results in some hilarious dialogue between Mark and Carley/Doug.) Lee could also freely leave the farm and go back to the motor inn if desired.
- There was more to Jolene. Depending on Lee's choice she could mention another bandit called Paul, and her daughter Danielle.
- The dinner sequence was much larger, as an unused subquest occurred where Lee had to cut Clementine's food or let Lilly/Kenny do it. Lee could also choose to add more salt or pepper to Clementine's plate or let the two above do it. There were several retakes of a prayer, and Lee at this point had found out that Mark/David was dinner.
- Larry's death was much more drawn out and emotional, as in his dying breath he would apologize to Lilly for not being able to protect her and her mother.
- The group was scattered at first after the revelation of cannibalism. Lee would find Kenny first, who would have been shot beforehand, and then he would find Lilly before trying to rescue Duck and Katjaa.
- Mark Darin stated in an interview that originally, Lee would have to move from stall to stall while avoiding detection by Danny St. John and he would have to place the bear trap in order to catch Danny (as opposed to him stumbling into it during a cutscene).
- Originally the group did not find a station wagon, the food was in the barn. After Doug/Carley and Ben save Lee and the others and after Andy's fight, they all take a box and go back to the motor inn. The supply room was replaced with a bloody tub, metallic equipment and jars containing organs instead.
- Additionally, after the survivors took the food, you could go around asking everyone how they felt about today's events in the motor inn. If Mr. Parker was left behind but Ben was taken he'd tell that it was a horrible fate for his teacher as he was a good man.
