Originally though, her ending was a lot more disturbing.

In an abandoned script page shared by Harness, the police officer pushes Kate into a dark side room. Here, she starts to hear some unexplained thudding, scratching and scraping sounds, setting her on edge. It's then revealed that she's being attacked by a gang of Zygon babies, which actually look like overgrown, clawed, lumpy caterpillars.
