Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Susan wanted to get to the bottom of Mary Alice's suicide and that meant letting Paul and Zach Young into her life. Which of the following was NOT one of the things Zach did to Susan during this tumultuous time?

Answer: slashed her tires

Zach held her at gunpoint when he thought Mike had kidnapped his father and he blew up her kitchen after Susan and Julie told him that neither wanted anything to do with him. It was an accident that Zach threw gravel in Susan's face, as he was throwing it at Julie's bedroom window to get her attention and Susan just happened to open the window at the exact moment he decided to throw more rocks.
2. Susan decided to take her mother, Sophie, to a spa for a day of relaxation. During their visit Sophie invited herself to stay with Susan until she got back on her feet and that idea shocked Susan from the moment she heard it. What did Susan accidentally do when her mother asked to stay with her?

Answer: kicked the pedicurist in the face and broke her nose

Susan's mother, played by Lesley Ann Warren, came to stay with her during the show's second season. Her arrival was announced when she crashed her car into Mike Delfino's truck. As soon as Mike realized that Sophie was Susan's mother, he told her that Susan's personality "made a whole lot more sense" to him.

She was quirky, flirty, ditzy, desperate for love, and going through a break-up with her long-term boyfriend, Morty Flickman, played by Bob Newhart.
3. The show's fourth season brought another set of new neighbors, Bob and Lee. Susan did not make a good first, second, or third, good impression on them and they very quickly decided they truly didn't like her at all. Which of the following was NOT one of the things Susan did that upset them?

Answer: hung a rainbow flag outside of her house and gave them one 'so they could match'

Susan's relationship with Bob and Lee has been very contentious from the first day they met. Lee hoped that they could 'live up the the stereotypes' Susan imposed upon them at their first meeting, and they were even more hostile after Susan kidnapped their dog and then made herself appear as the 'selfless neighbor' who left a party to help Lee find him. Upon receiving the chocolate bars Susan tried to take credit for, Lee asked if they had nuts in them, as he was deathly allergic, and he soon realized that Susan had lied to him yet again.
4. In the show's second season Susan decided to try and write a book about her past. She had many questions about the father she never knew, and her mother eventually revealed the truth about who he was. What was the name of Susan's father?

Answer: Addison Prudy

A guest at her wedding said that he knew Addison and that Susan could find at him at Prudy's Feed Store across town.

Answer: crashed into Ian on her bicycle after she was distracted by Edie

Susan had also rolled over in bed and slapped him hard on his forehead, as well as given him a rose that was full of thorns. Susan has always been clumsy and careless, but it was when she accidentally lit his mother on fire that Ian realized just how careful he would need to be for the rest of their lives.
6. Susan has been known to be extremely over dramatic, over emotional, and hyper sensitive. In the third season she had to attend court ordered anger management counseling with a therapist. What incident led to Susan having to attend this therapy?

Answer: locked a man's head in a car window over a parking space

Susan's frustration over whether to chose Mike or Ian lead her to assault a rude man who blatantly stole her parking space. She took his keys, locked herself in his car, and intended on moving it so that she could take the space. However, the verbal argument that ensued led to her locking his head in the car window and threatening to decapitate him because he was just another jerk/man.
7. Susan married Karl for a second time because she needed immediate insurance coverage in order to have a vital operation. What was Susan's medical issue that required immediate surgery?

Answer: wandering spleen

Edie came up with the idea for Susan to marry a man with great health care coverage so that she wouldn't have to worry about the massive hospital payments after her spleen removal surgery. When Edie's first choice, a gay business associate, was unable to marry Susan because his partner objected, Karl offered to marry Susan as repayment for how horribly he had treated her in the past. Karl had secret motives in his act of generosity, but it provided Susan with the insurance she needed to have the surgery.
8. Susan was the last person in the neighborhood to find out that Mike had awoken from his coma.

Answer: True

Edie found out first...she told the nurse, Dr. Craig, who called his aunt Ida (Greenberg), who told Lynette Scavo, who told Tom Scavo, who texted Carlos Solis, who called Gabrielle Solis, who called Bree Van De Kamp, who told Danielle Van De Kamp, who called Julie Mayer...who was unable to reach her mother. Susan didn't have good cellular reception at Ian's majestic cabin so she remained in the dark about Mike's condition until her daughter was finally able to reach her several days later.
9. While Susan began a career as an elementary school art teacher in the show's fifth season, the majority of her career was spent as an illustrator and author of children's books. What was the name of Susan's first (and only mentioned) book?

Answer: Ants In My Picnic Basket

While Susan has been frequently referred to as a "children's book illustrator," she apparently wrote "Ants In My Picnic Basket" at the start of her career. The title of her book was displayed in the episode where her book agent, Lonny Moon, was introduced, and it was also shown in the show's third season at Edie's son's birthday party.
10. Once Mike woke up from his coma Susan wanted to make him remember the love and relationship that they had shared. Which of the following was NOT one of the things Susan did to try and make Mike remember?

Answer: brought him her scrapbook of memories/photographs

Susan's mac and cheese was notoriously horrible and it was also the reason that the two had them had first met at Mary Alice's funeral/wake. Susan sang and danced around the room, like a desperate fool, to the song 'Carwash,' and she even kidnapped him from the hospital and took him for a stroll down Wisteria Lane.

It was only after Susan tripped on the curb that Mike started to vaguely remember her from the past two years.
11. After Susan and Mike found out they were pregnant their doctor recommended that they visit a genetic counselor to provide a detailed medical history from each side of their families. Which of the following was NOT listed in Susan's family medical history?

Answer: epilepsy

After she revealed these facts about her family medical history, Mike responded by stating that, "I guess I've married into carnie folk." However, Susan soon became consumed with questions after Mike told the counselor that his father was alive, and not dead as he had told Susan at the start of their relationship. Susan then learned that Mike was ashamed to tell her that his father was in prison for murder.
12. Susan and Mike delivered their son in the show's fourth season. By the start of the fifth season, the original name that they had given their son had been shortened to simply 'MJ.' What does the 'M' stand for in his name?

Answer: Maynard

Mike wanted to honor his grandfather because he had died just a day before MJ's birth. Susan misunderstood what name Mike would be using and she agreed before realizing that his name would be Maynard. She tried to go behind his back and change MJ's name to Conner, but she was caught by Mike as they were checking out of the hospital. Susan realized how important Mike's grandfather was to him and she eventually decided that it would be a wonderful name for their son to try and live up to.
13. Susan and Mike's relationship has always had a sort of ebb and flow whereby they were together one day and apart 'forever' on the next day. Which of the following was NOT one of the reasons they broke off their relationship?

Answer: Susan found out that Mike had cheated on her with one of this clients

Mike's mysterious identity in the first season prevented them from getting too close to one another and the knowledge that Zach was Mike's biological son kept them apart for the show's second season. It was only after Mike awoke from his coma and won Susan back from Ian, that they were finally able to tie the knot.

However, the five year jump from seasons 4-5 revealed that they had divorced because they had been unable to move on from the car accident that killed Lila and Paige Dash. As of the start of the show's sixth season, Mike and Susan have remarried and have tried to live in domestic bliss; but who knows how long that will last.
14. In an effort to show Susan that she was 'so desperate not to be alone,' Edie made a detailed calender that included every relationship Susan had ever had and she tabulated the total days that Susan had been single. Susan's first boyfriend, Todd Schaefer, dumped her in math class at school. How long was it before Susan had a new boyfriend?

Answer: lunch

Susan didn't like to admit her faults and she certainly didn't like to be judged or critiqued by Edie Britt. Edie was easily able to prove her point to Susan, as she revealed that Susan had only really been single for a total of 41 days since she was a teenager. Susan decided not to move away to be with Jackson, and she instead decided to try and enjoy being alone.
15. Regarding the show's first five seasons, which of the following facts about Susan Mayer is NOT true?

Answer: she has been engaged to Karl, Jackson, Mike, Ron, and Ian

Susan has been engaged to Mike, Ian, Jackson, and Karl (briefly), but she only seriously dated Dr. Ron and was never engaged to him. Susan has broken into practically everyone's home on Wisteria Lane, and her first husband, Karl, did leave her for Brandi, his secretary. Finally, it was also discovered, in the show's fifth season, that it was Susan, not Mike, that was responsible for the car crash that killed Lila and Paige.
