Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opens with one of the iconic visuals of the show: Most of the family lined up brushing each other's hair. What is the correct order from right to left (beginning of the brushing train to the end)?

Answer: Wednesday, Morticia, Gomez, Mama, Fester, Thing

Wednesday played with her doll while Morticia brushed her hair with a new cactus brush (the old porcupine one wasn't as good). Gomez brushed Morticia's hair, and Mama brushed his. Fester brushed Mama's hair and Thing used a back scratcher on Fester's bald head.

Fester said the back scratcher had a slight hangnail and Thing got upset, threw the scratcher on the floor, and ran off.
2. Morticia notices Thing is acting strangely and begins questioning the family. It turns out everyone is annoyed with Thing's attitude. He wouldn't even sit at the table with everyone during lunch, so Morticia decides to have a talk with him. But he's not in his boxes! Morticia didn't find Thing, but what did she find in one of his favorite boxes?

Answer: Picture of his parents

Morticia found a framed portrait of two hands holding each other: Thing's parents. She said it must have been their wedding picture. Gomez and Morticia didn't think he would pack up and leave without taking the picture, so they began to suspect foul play.
3. Gomez begins interrogating the children first. Wednesday claims she won't talk without a lawyer. And when Gomez turns to Pugsley, he claims which amendment?

Answer: 5th

Pugsley claims the 5th amendment, but Gomez doesn't remember which one that was... he was absent that day in law school. (For others who don't remember, that's the one that you claim when you don't want to say something that could incriminate yourself.)

Fester walks in to say the piece of the hose Gomez was holding to intimidate the children was missing from the basement and the basement was flooding, so the children grab the hose and run to the basement to fix the flood.

Morticia responds that at least they learned one thing: They needed a plumber.
4. Fester is the next person to be questioned and he tells Gomez that Mama is the person he really should be questioning. Why did Mama have a problem with Thing?

Answer: He ruined her pie

Mama said he ruined her blackbird pie by letting the birds go. Mama the threw the suspicion onto Lurch, but Lurch didn't even know Thing was gone.
5. Gomez and Morticia decide to call the police, but they have trouble explaining what Thing is. He's a family retainer but not a person. What advice do the police give Morticia?

Answer: Run an ad in the paper

So the Addams family puts out an ad that says:
Liberal Reward - For missing Thing. Addams, 0001 Cemetery Lane.
6. People begin coming to the Addams house with random objects. Of course, weird objects are what the Addams family loves to collect, so they keep buying them off the people who bring them to the house. However, the first clue to Thing's whereabouts comes in the mail. What is it?

Answer: Ransom note

The ransom was to be paid by a disinterested party at midnight, so Gomez decided to call a private investigator named Sam Diamond.
7. While introducing Sam Diamond to the case, we learn Thing's full name is what?

Answer: Thing Thing Thing

He signs his name Thing T. Thing.

Sam is about to leave when Gomez says he will pay Sam's fee in diamonds. Fester cracks the safe and Gomez finds a cigar, a bomb that won't go off for another six months, and the bag of diamonds he was looking for. Morticia explains all their really fine diamonds are cursed and have been in the family for generations.
8. Sam Diamond goes to deliver the ransom in the cemetery at midnight. What happens?

Answer: A hand came out and took the ransom.

Gomez and Morticia were playing chess waiting for Sam Diamond to return after paying the ransom. Sam comes in scared to death and explains he saw just a hand come up and take the ransom. Morticia and Gomez are excited because this was Thing!
9. Thing returns, jingling the bag of diamonds. Who figures out that Thing set up the whole kidnapping?

Answer: Gomez

Gomez realized that Thing set up the whole scheme himself and the kidnapping was a hoax. That's when Morticia exclaims that she thought the handwriting was familiar. Thing explains that he felt neglected and wanted to test them to see if they really cared about him to ransom him back. Morticia decides they have been neglecting Thing so they should take him to a concert.
10. In the last scene, everyone makes sure Thing feels appreciated. Which is NOT something given to Thing?

Answer: gloves

Mama gives him a giant nail file. Lurch gives him a musical instrument. Fester gives him a framed picture of Fester as a baby.

Morticia and Gomez didn't bring him anything, but they were taking him out to a concert. Gomez was worried and asked Morticia where he would ride. Morticia responded that he would ride where he always rode: in the glove compartment.
