The scene in "Space Colony" in which [[spoiler:Adam volunteers to destroy Dr. Gao's doomsday rocket and {{flatline}}s while doing so]] wasn't supposed to be a BaitAndSwitch, but the real deal: [[spoiler:he was supposed to either burn up completely and be reduced to ash in his attempt to stop the rocket, or [[HeroicSacrifice succeed in destroying it but perish alongside it]], with him consequently being mourned as a hero and TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth]]. Disney presumably vetoed it for being too dark and depressing, even for a show that's supposed to be DarkerAndEdgier than their usual fare, so the scene in question, and everything that happened afterwards, was rewritten so [[spoiler:Adam just blacked out]].

This could be also why they had [[spoiler:Adam opt to stay behind in the academy rather than join Bree and Chase in the Elite Force]]. Presumably, [[spoiler:Kelli and William had already signed onto ''Elite Force'' while Tyrel and Spencer were set to leave to pursue other projects; when Adam's death was vetoed and his ending was rewritten, they had to resort to having him and Leo being [[PutOnABus put on the same bus]].]]
