A pilot was shot in May 1992, starring George Newbern, Anne Le Guernec, Robert Knepper, Kurtwood Smith, Hoyt Axton, Max Grodenchik, and Carrie-Anne Moss,[1] but was not picked up, and the project was shelved.

A mysterious feral woman, known only as Cat (Anne Le Guernec), appears in the middle of a motorway, causing some cars to crash.

The next day Thomas discovers Cat has been removed from the hospital and is confronted by FBI Special Agent Trager (Kurtwood Smith), who escorts him to a secret underground lab and holding facility.

There, Dr. Roth (Max Grodénchik) explains to Thomas that Cat's weapon (the "phut BOOM" gun[2]) and her bracelet (the "geosyncronator"[2]) have an unusual mixture of organic and technological properties, and do not appear to have been designed for human hands.

Cat and Thomas are arrested by this world's version of Agent Trager and are held overnight to be escorted to jail in the morning.

Anne Le Guernec was cast as Cat, but the actor that the production company wanted for Thomas, George Newbern, was in the middle of shooting a movie.

Martin worked on those scripts for the next six months with Michael Cassutt, Ed Zuckerman, Steve De Jarnatt, and J. D. Feigelson.

Explaining the plot, she says: It's a dark sci-fi/fantasy, that's not unlike the Twilight Zone in terms of taking an ordinary person and suddenly confronting them with very bizarre events and people.

[7]Martin noted in the first issue of Doorways that artist Stefano Martino has not seen the pilot, and the visual representations of the characters and architecture are totally changed.
