Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. After the service for Bruno, Terri and Margi approached Boom at his car and told him that the cult was reportedly coming after who next?

Answer: blonde virgins

He offered them a ride home, but they continued on the virgin theme until they got Boom to stop on the side of the road to take their virginities and thereby lessen their danger of falling victim to the cult.
2. What did Scully say she doubted Detective White was?

Answer: a blonde

After Scully recounted the traditional "blonde virgin" victim element of satanic cults, White walked off. Mulder leaned in and commented about her unexcused departure, "You don't think she's a virgin, do you?" Scully replied acerbically, "I doubt she's even a blonde."
3. What did Terri and Margi tell the agents the cult killed in the ceremony Boom took them to?

Answer: infant

Scully and Mulder interviewed the girls separately and they gave nearly identical accounts of being taken to a clearing with robed men. One of them had a long blade with a snakehead hilt with ruby eyes. Then they brought out an infant to sacrifice, telling the girls that the body would be added to a mass grave outside town.
4. What shape did Mulder and Det. White see burned into Boom's body?

Answer: horned beast

Scully was quite cynical, insisting that they were seeing things that weren't really there. Mulder was clearly annoyed by her skepticism and left after asking, "If it's no bother...if it's not too big a deal, perhaps you can get me a few photographs of that thing that bears absolutely no resemblance to a horned beast." Scully snapped her glove on and said, "Sure, fine. Whatever."
5. How did the girls kill the basketball player?

Answer: crushed in bleachers

He was pushed into the table of cups during a practice, spilling all the water on Terri and Margi. They were angry, to say the least. When he went under the bleachers a few minutes later to retrieve the basketball, the girls turned the lights off and then collapsed the bleachers into the wall, crushing the player.
6. The bag dug up by the townspeople belonged to whom?

Answer: pediatrician

The townspeople stormed his house, where he was dressed in women's clothing. Mulder and Det. White took him into custody for questioning, but Scully interrupted their interview to inform them that the man's story had checked out and the bones belonged to a dog.

Then Terri came into the room to find her dog's remains on the table and Mulder interjected a random observation: "This may not be the time to mention it, but someone is wearing my favorite perfume." Scully looked at him sharply, saying "Can I have a word with you?" and pulled him out to the hall to take him to task.

As she aired her complaints, he smelled her to see if she was the one wearing the perfume, and determined that it must have been Det. White.
7. When Brenda used the Ouija board to find out who she'd marry, who did the board name?

Answer: Satan

Scott was her basketball player boyfriend, and the girls thought he'd be named, but it turned out to be Satan. Brenda escaped to the bathroom, but found Terri and Margi there chanting "Bloody Mary" into the mirror.
8. What vices were Scully and Mulder indulging in at night in their hotel rooms?

Answer: Scully was smoking a cigarette; Mulder was drinking

Mulder mixed what appeared to be frozen orange juice concentrate into a bottle of vodka. I suppose that's how you make a Screwdriver in an emergency. Scully, meanwhile, was puffing away on a cigarette as she muttered to herself about Det. White.
9. Mulder asked Det. White to spend the night with him.

Answer: false

White actually invited herself. She took her shoes and jacket off as Mulder tried to call the front desk to get her another room. Then she pushed him onto the bed, saying perhaps they could "solve the mystery of the horny beast." She started kissing him passionately and Scully burst into the room to tell Mulder that there had been another murder.
10. Did Scully let Mulder drive?

Answer: no

They fought about it and she asked, "Why do you always have to drive? Because you're the guy? Because you're the big macho man?" He smiled and said, "No. I was just never sure your little feet could reach the pedals." Then he took Det. White's car and told her to ride with Scully.
11. What phrase did Mme. Zirinka NOT use when describing for Mulder what was special about the town?

Answer: planetary intersection

Zirinka was explaining what was special about the town's location. She first described the area as a geological vortex; a high-intensity meridian. Mulder gave her a blank look, so she clarified: "a cosmic g-spot."
12. Who or what did Terri and Margi have their falling-out over?

Answer: Scott

They'd already killed Brenda, so Scott was single, but when they showed up at the diner, he blew them off. While one of them was angry about the rejection, the other didn't seem to be deterred, and ditched her friend to go after the guy. They had a confrontation and threw some metal rods around, accidentally killing Scott in the process.
13. Who or what hit Scully's windshield as she and Det. White were driving to the scene of Brenda's death?

Answer: birds

There were some strange thuds and then a bird smashed into the windshield. Scully stopped the car and she and White got out to look at the birds all over the road. As they stood there, the townspeople approached in an angry mob.
14. Where were the girls when furniture started moving and guns started going off spontaneously?

Answer: police precinct

The agents brought them there to get formal statements, but once they were in the same room, there seemed to be small earthquakes, the furniture all moved around, and all the guns started firing independent of handlers.
15. Both of the girls survived the day.

Answer: true

They spent the last few seconds locked in a room together, but when Det. White opened the door after midnight, they were huddled in a corner together crying. The townspeople concluded that it had been Satan after all, but Scully and Mulder knew better. Scully and Mulder went back to their hotel and packed their belongings.

As Mulder put the suitcases in the trunk, Scully readjusted the driver's seat so she could reach the pedals. Mulder had to crunch a bit to fit into the passenger side seat, and then they set off.

As they approached the intersection they'd fought over at the beginning of the episode, Mulder tried to give Scully directions, but she just sped right through the stop sign. Mulder admonished her, saying she'd just ran a stop sign, to which she replied, "Shut up, Mulder." His response? "Fine. Whatever."
