The Family Ties Quiz | 'O.C.' - Seasons and Episodes

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What band is featured at The Bait Shop in this episode?

Answer: Modest Mouse

Modest Mouse performs at The Bait Shop. Although this indie band formed back in 1993, it didn't score a hit until 2004's "Float On," off its best-selling album "Good News for People Who Love Bad News." In this episode we hear their songs "Paper Thin Walls," The View," and "The World at Large." Blue Foundation and Olympic Hopefuls are also featured on this episode's soundtrack, but we don't see them perform.

2. "How much vomit? Like the girl in 'The Sixth Sense' or the guy in 'Monty Python'?" Seth says this after his drunken experience at The Bait Shop. What actress plays the little girl in "The Sixth Sense" that Seth is referring to?

Answer: Mischa Barton

Mischa Barton (Marissa Cooper on "The O.C.") played Kyra Collins in 1999's "The Sixth Sense" starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. She was the little girl that was slowly being poisoned by her mother.

3. This episode marks which character's final regular appearance, though he guest stars in future episodes?

Answer: Jimmy Cooper

Tate Donovan is the first original cast member to leave the show. Chris Carmack (Luke) has left but he began his contract as a guest. The writers for "The O.C" have revealed that another main character will be leaving the show during season three. The show also lost Alan Dale (Caleb Nichol) at the end of season two. Since Caleb died on the show, I'm assuming we will not be seeing any guest appearances by him in the future.

4. The gang heads off to The Bait Shop, with Seth trying to impress Alex with his newfound bad-boy ways. When Seth approaches Summer, she tells him that his breath smells like ____.

Answer: Marissa

Seth comes up to Summer and Zach. Summer takes a whiff of him and says, "Your breath smells like Marissa! You are so drunk!" We've seen Summer have plenty of confrontations with Marissa's alcohol consumption! This quote takes place right before Seth blurts out Zach's secret about his old tutor that he kissed over the holidays.

5. Marissa arrives drunk at the good-bye party at the Cohen house. She gets into an argument with her mother and father, saying that it's no wonder she's screwed up. She then says that she's the daughter of what two things?

Answer: a thief and a slut

Marissa is upset that her father is leaving, seeing as how he was the only person keeping her sane in Newport. Plus she's recently found out that Julie and Jimmy were having an affair. She arrives at the Cohen house with DJ and immediately confronts Julie, calling her the wicked witch of the west coast. An argument ensues and Marissa ends up storming out with DJ in tow.

6. Seth pulls out a flask in front of Alex at The Bait Shop. He says it's his old friend. Which name does he NOT give?

Answer: Jose

John is the first name that Seth says, but Alex has never heard of a drink with the name of John (though there is a Johnny Red and Johnny Black). The other two names mentioned are Jack (Daniels) and Jim (Beam). He didn't mention Jose, but there is a Jose in the drinking world: Jose Cuervo.

7. In one scene, Zach is telling Seth about his holiday. While Zach was away, he ran into an old tutor that he'd had when he was 14. They ended up kissing and now Zach is trying to justify his actions to Seth. Zach mentions a musical artist as an excuse. According to Zach, who was playing?

Answer: Chingy

Seth swears not to tell anyone, especially Summer, about Zach's little infidelity. Unfortunately, Seth is never good at keeping secrets and his drunken escapade at The Bait Shop only serves to loosen his tongue.

8. Who walks in on Ryan and Lindsay making out in the poolhouse, causing them to spring apart instantly?

Answer: Kirsten

Ryan and Lindsay are debating whether or not the revelation of Lindsay being Kirsten's half-sister will mean that Ryan kissing Lindsay will be like kissing his sister. They decide to test it and end up making out in the poolhouse. The door opens and they spring apart just in time to see Kirsten at the door. They decide that they won't fill Kirsten in on their romance.

9. During the good-bye party, Seth leaves to go see Alex. He steals Caleb's car in order to do this as well as to impress Alex. What kind of car does Caleb have?

Answer: Aston Martin

Alex walks out of her house and sees Seth and Caleb's car. He claims he stole it, leaving out the fact that it's his grandfather's car. At the Cohen house, we see the valet telling Caleb that his car has been stolen. They obviously call the police because they show up at Alex's house and escort Seth back to the Cohen house.

10. Marissa arrives at the Cohen house at the end of the episode, after her teary scene with Jimmy on the beach. What has she brought the Cohens?

Answer: bagels

When Marissa shows up at the Cohen's door, she says she's just finished seeing her father off. She then tells Sandy that she's brought bagels. Sandy says, "Well, that's the secret password into the Cohen household," and invites her in. They go into the kitchen and join Seth, Ryan and Kirsten, who are all extremely sympathetic and nice to Marissa.
