Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The show opened with a mock newsreel that played up the infamous lag between new episodes. The narrator became frustrated with reading the announcements, and told the audience to do something. What was it?

Answer: Read the card

"*You* can read the card," the announcer muttered, to the sound of a record suddenly being stopped. The montage showed hilarious stock footage of people dancing on skyscrapers, riding rocket-packs, and other bizarre events.
2. The episode proper opens as Maddie goes home after having spent the night working on a case. Her boyfriend Sam is waiting there. What does he do?

Answer: Offers her breakfast

Sam questions her, vaguely, about the doings of last night. Then he offers her some cereal; however, unlike yesterday with the dinner, he has already eaten his own.
3. Sam tells Maddie she should get some rest. After Maddie takes a phone call, Sam leaves her and goes out. Where does he go?

Answer: David's apartment

Sam listened while Maddie told the caller, whom she said was her mother, that she had been doing "nothing special." Crawford, not exactly thrilled by this assertion, added everything up. He tells David what he said to Maddie the previous night, and warns Addison to stay out if he knows what's good for him.
4. When Maddie gets to work, David is in her office. He is furious that she didn't tell him the big news when she stopped to see David the previous night. He chases her down the hall. In the middle of this dispute, where do they get stuck?

Answer: Walking in and out of the elevator doors

This frustrating detour adds a funny moment to the bitter argument. They run down the hall and back to the office.
5. The fight ends up in Maddie's office again. This time it's Hayes who takes the driver's seat. She demands that David tell her how he feels. She puts a hand on his heart and forces him to back up across the room. What is his response?

Answer: None of these

Hayes admits that she did hear the fateful words from Sam, but she thought it was her business to decide what to do about it. David clams up and says stares back, until Maddie, crestfallen, asks if "we're through." David says, "Sure sounds like it," and leaves.
6. Next we see how the tension between the Blue Moon bosses has caused a lot of stress and confusion for everyone else, too. Agnes and Bert are playing cards at the front desk. Bert wonders what could happen if things changed and the warring parties ever did try to act on their feelings. What does Agnes say?

Answer: Do you have any threes?

Agnes and Bert are playing Go Fish. By turns, each player asks for cards from the opponent, and discards matching card pairs. You switch turns when they have no matches to give you. The winner is the person who runs out of cards first.
7. Sam shows up to take Maddie out. Bert greets him with outright anger, and Agnes turns her back. As soon as he's shown to the other office, the two workers run to Mr. Addison's room. What do they see?

Answer: David has destroyed the place

A heartbroken David has demolished almost everything in his office except for the television set. He slumps on the couch and watches "Divorce Court." (Listen closely: an ironic audio clip reports the risque details of a case.) David is at first too worn out to move, but he perks up when Agnes and Bert warn him this might be his last chance to talk to Maddie. David jumps up and runs out.
8. David hurries to confront Maddie and Sam. Where does he meet them?

Answer: In the garage

David catches them in the building's garage. Sam is driving Maddie's car. David stands in the way and Crawford hits the brakes only just in time to keep from hitting Addison.
9. David slaps the car and tells Maddie he wants to talk to her. She just stares; Sam warns David to leave. The argument escalates until a distraught Maddie gets out and runs away. Both men follow, but don't catch up. Sam then turns to face David, and asks him to take a walk and relax. What happens next?

Answer: A fight breaks out

David takes the first punch... which Sam absorbs as if it meant nothing. David is in for a brutal thrashing. At the end of the sad mismatch, Addison is thrown into the wall. Maddie then emerges from the elevator, and is horrified to see an injured David on the ground. "I just wanted to talk to her," the stupefied Addison says, as he gets up and walks away.

A shocked Maddie can only watch.
10. Sam and Maddie try to salvage their date. Once they're back in the car, Sam explains he didn't start the trouble. For the first time, we see him lose his temper with Maddie. What does he say angers him the most?

Answer: In the phone call that morning, Maddie told her mother "nothing special" was going on

Sam had waited for an answer to his news from last night. Yet when Maddie spoke to her mother, she said there was nothing going on but "the usual." To Sam, that didn't add up. Although things cool down, and they're both joking when they get to Maddie's house, Hayes drops off her friend and decides to go back to the office.
11. Maddie returns to Blue Moon headquarters. What does she do there?

Answer: Goes to David's office

Maddie walks over to David's office, where she is shocked by the wreckage. Agnes meets her, and asks if anything is wrong. Maddie tries to play it down; Dipesto, knowing better, asks if the boss wants to go get drunk to take her mind off things. The two set out to a club.
12. What drink does Maddie order at the bar?

Answer: White wine

Maddie is at first confused, but after some contemplation, says she is determined to tell Sam the truth. Agnes, meanwhile, downs several rounds in rapid fashion. We don't see how Agnes gets home (whether Ms. Hayes drops her off or she takes a cab), but she does show up at work the next day.
13. Maddie opens the door to see that Sam is not waiting for her this time. The house is dark. Maddie goes upstairs, thinking Sam must have gone to sleep. Asking him not to get up, she makes an impassioned speech explaining that she has agonized over his question. Then Maddie gets under the covers. What do we see next?

Answer: That's not Sam

It is one of the most shocking moments of the entire episode. Waiting in bed is none other than David Addison. This sets off a furious argument; there is no turning back.
14. A vicious shouting match erupts. Maddie backs toward the door. Panicking, she grabs an object with which to defend herself. What is it?

Answer: A lamp

David refuses to apologize for his deception; quite the contrary, he gleefully jokes about it. Maddie asks what happened; David explains Sam packed his bags and left. A stunned Maddie orders David to leave. At first he refuses, but the two are soon arguing again. Addison heads downstairs, calling insults as he goes. Maddie hurries to get back at him.
15. In the living room, the fight gets even more volatile. Maddie lashes out. How many times does she strike him?

Answer: Two

Maddie twice slaps David across the face. He stares in abject shock the first two times. Although Maddie does swing a third time, the last never lands. David grabs her left hand. For an instant, they are both still. Then, other emotions overwhelm them. Moving to the floor, then to Maddie's room, they at last consummate the pursuit in which they had, knowingly or not, engaged since they met.

The emotional and provocative episode earned the highest ratings in the show's history.
