Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. As the episode begins, Al Swearengen is in apparent physical distress. What is he doing?

Answer: Lying on the floor

Still bearing the facial marks of his savage fight with Seth Bullock, Swearengen is alone in his room, convulsing in pain. His employees are concerned because he has locked himself in alone, something he has never before done.

2. A well-dressed newcomer arrives by stagecoach. How does he first introduce himself?

Answer: Mr. W

Francis Wilcott claims to be the agent of a very powerful and wealthy mining magnate, George Hearst.

3. Almost immediately upon the arrival in camp of the stranger, Mayor E.B. Farnum attempts to swindle him. What does Farnum offer for sale?

Answer: Letter

Upon first greeting the stranger, Farnum is told that his intention is to "locate and secure an assortment of claims", which Farnum interprets to make the man an easy mark. In a complex transaction, Wolcott buys the last letter written by Wild Bill Hickock, which is purport to contain the location of a valuable mining find.

4. Which Deadwood resident recognizes the stranger?

Answer: Maddie

Maddie, Joanie's partner in the new brothel, immediately recognizes Mr. Wolcott, and remembers his peculiar preference in women.

5. Who is the first person the stranger seeks out in Deadwood to discuss business?

Answer: Cy

The people in Deadwood are worried that 'the Hills' will not be represented when they are is annexed into the United States. They are fearful that all mining claims will be voided. Tolliver's reputation as a ruthless businessman is well-known to the stranger and his principal, and Cy is the first one contacted by Wolcott to help spread the rumor that Deadwood's gold claims may not be valid.

6. After inspecting her mining operations with Ellsworth, what does Alma Garrett express a desire to buy?

Answer: Hotel

Alma lives in the hotel owned by E.B. Farnum, and would like to remodel it. However, her primary motive in purchasing the hotel was that it would "offer the further pleasure of putting Mister Farnum in the thoroughfare." Farnum never missed an opportunity to make some snide or rude comment about Alma and her romance with Bullock.

7. Seth Bullock encounters Sofia and her nanny in the hotel. What does the nanny give Bullock?

Answer: Watch

Seth had given a pocket watch as a gift so that Sofia could learn to tell time. Apparently, Alma remains bitter over the romantic breakup with Seth. She also later fires the nanny for failing to give a complete and accurate report of the meeting with Seth, where he reiterated his desire to leave town with Alma.

8. How did Dan Dority injure his shoulder?

Answer: Breaking down a door

Despite pleas from Jewel, Trixie and Doc Cochran, Swearengen refused to unlock the door to his room. Finally, in desperation, Dority smashes into the door, only to bounce back with an injured shoulder. He later succeeds in kicking down the door.

9. What turns out to be Swearengen's medical condition?

Answer: Kidney stones

As Doc Cochran probed his patient's bladder with a long medical instrument, Swearengen's screams could be heard throughout Deadwood.

10. The mysterious stranger finally stops at the new brothel, Chez Ami. What is the name of the woman who takes him to a room?

Answer: Joanie

Maddie had previously warned Joanie that Mr. Wilcott "enjoys being cranky with his women". When Wilcott is informed that the special girl that he wants has been delayed in arriving in Deadwood, Joanie tries her best to entertain the gentleman.
