Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The show opens with a scene of private detective Maddie Hayes waking up in her room at home. What do we see?

Answer: She is still in her work clothes, and there are papers everywhere

In the first season of the show, it was made clear that Maddie is not a religious person. This makes for an off and on debate between Hayes and her partner at Blue Moon, David Addison.

2. When Maddie gets to the office, what are the employees doing?

Answer: Removing the Christmas decorations

It becomes apparent that Hayes has asked the staff to work during the run-up to Christmas. None of them feel the least bit sympathetic: they're wearing black armbands.

3. David Addison soon goes to Maddie's office to talk to her about the crisis. Maddie says there's a budget crunch and she can't allow people as much time off as they'd like. What does David say?

Answer: Just remember, Maddie, a good job doesn't love you back.

David sticks up for the other employees. In his opinion, if you never take time off to have fun, life just passes you by. It is a warning Maddie does not heed.

4. Maddie gets a phone call. What is it about?

Answer: Her Aunt Ruth died

Maddie was earlier reminded by her parents that she is the "only family Aunt Ruth has out here." Hayes was never able to make time to visit her ailing aunt in the hospital, and now it's too late.

Answer: A bar on the top floor of the office building

The bartender tries to engage Hayes in conversation. She immediately rebuffs his efforts and just keeps drinking.

6. Maddie meets someone else at this place. Who is it?

Answer: An angel

The man says his name is Albert. Maddie thinks he is crazy, and attempts to run away, but Albert follows her into an elevator.

7. The person shows her a vision of a strange place. What is it?

Answer: A company where secretary Agnes Dipesto became a mean boss

Agnes has turned into a different person, making the employees line up so she can yell at them. It seems she learned all too much from Maddie's harsh style of management.

8. The two next go to check out what happened to Blue Moon itself. What do they find at the office?

Answer: Another detective agency has taken its place

The presence of Hart Investigations is a clever nod to the show "Hart to Hart," which aired on ABC before the arrival of "Moonlighting." What bothers Maddie even more, however, is the fact that all the people have become drones. They do everything in a hectic way, tote piles of papers several feet high and have all the charm of androids.

It's another hint from which Maddie will have to learn.

9. The companion takes Maddie to the third site. What happens there?

Answer: David lives in Maddie's old house, and he's getting married

David has managed to woo no less a personage than Cheryl Tiegs. However, he still misses Maddie. "She was even a great slapper."

10. Maddie has had enough and wants to snap out of it. Her companion tells her that's not allowed; he can't reverse what's about to happen. What horrifying vision takes place next?

Answer: Maddie ends her life by driving into a wall

In the alternate world, Maddie couldn't take it anymore, and decided to end her life. Although the angel tells her he would not be able to alter that decision, just at the point when the car would have smashed into a garage wall, Maddie suddenly wakes up in the bar again.

She's shaken but okay. Maddie goes back to the office, where David says they've heard about her aunt. Hayes reinstates the Christmas vacation. And to all a good night.
