Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. How was Nurse Michelle Charters restrained during her attack?

Answer: by her wrists

She was thrown onto the cot in the room and the wrist restraints were closed. Then, she claimed, she was raped by a ghost.

2. Mulder was watching the video about Charters' attack when Scully arrived at his office.

Answer: False

Actually, Scully was watching the video when Mulder arrived. Mulder told her that whatever tape she had found in the VCR wasn't his, to which she replied, "Good, because I put it back in the drawer with all those other tapes that aren't yours." Good to know they work around Mulder's little quirks.

3. How old was Hal Arden?

Answer: 74

When Scully and Mulder were talking to him in the bathroom about Nurse Charters' allegations, he told them that he was 74 years old and had plumbing older than the building. Then he took off his towel and showed Scully and Mulder his "plumbing".

4. What disease did Hal suffer from?

Answer: Alzheimer's

He was part of a test group at the Excelsis Dei Convalescents Home using an experimental drug to combat the effects of Alzheimer's. The drug had proved remarkably effective. Hal, for example, had barely been able to construct a sentence before to being a somewhat viable rape suspect!

5. Leo, the artist, could barely draw what shape when he had arrived at Excelsis Dei?

Answer: circle

Doctor Grago, in charge of the experimental drug program, gave Scully and Mulder another example of the patients' remarkable progress. Under the influence of the drugs, Leo had regained some artistic abilities and at a later point painted a remarkable and haunting mural on the wall of one of the community rooms.

6. Why was the orderly having trouble holding onto the eave to wait for help to arrive?

Answer: his fingers were being bent back

The ghosts that pushed him out the window then started bending his fingers backward so that he couldn't hold on. Mulder ran up the stairs and was in time to grab one hand, but it wasn't enough to save him. The orderly fell four stories to his death.

7. What was Gung, the Asian orderly, growing?

Answer: mushrooms

He told Scully and Mulder that he was growing them and giving them to the residents in small amounts. They were traditionally used by his ancestors to speak with the dead in the spirit world.

8. How were the ghosts going to kill Mulder and Nurse Charters?

Answer: drowning

The ghosts trapped them in the bathroom and then burst all the pipes and stopped all the drains so that the room filled with water. Scully went to try to turn off the water main, but it was stuck. Luckily, the ghosts left Excelsis Dei before Mulder and Charters were killed.

9. Where was Gung from?

Answer: Malaysia

After it was discovered that he had been providing the patients with unauthorized substances, the government was preparing to send him back to Malaysia.

10. The combination of the controlled drugs and the illegal supplements had lasting effects on the patients of Excelsis Dei.

Answer: false

After the traces of the drug had disappeared from their systems, the symptoms of Alzheimer's returned in full force.
