Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opens with the date of the departure. What date was it?

Answer: October 14

The show spends just a few minutes on the October 14th of the disappearance. The chilling focus is a parking lot - a woman screaming for her missing baby that vanished from his car seat, a young boy looking for his father as their shopping cart rolls away unattended, and driver-less cars crashing in the street.
2. The series begins with people simply vanishing from the face of the earth. When the dust settles, how much of the global population has disappeared?

Answer: 2%

2% of the population amounted to 140,000,000 disappearances. People simply vanished in the middle of what they were doing. No noise, no screams, no flashes of light; just gone. There was nothing left behind to give a clue as to what might have happened to the departed.
3. After the first few minutes, the show jumps ahead in time. How far ahead?

Answer: 3 years

Just shy of the 3 year anniversary of the disappearances and there is still no explanation for what might have happened. While the departed are a critical piece of the show, the real focus is on those left behind, the leftovers, - individuals and society - and the impact the disappearances made.
4. Part of the aftermath of the disappearance was cults springing up. What is the name of the cult with white-clad, silent members?

Answer: Guilty Remnant

The Guilty Remnant, or GR, remain silent, communicating with whiteboards or note pads. They also chain smoke cigarettes and 'watch' targeted individuals; simply standing silently outside the target's home, watching.
5. The episode centers around Kevin Garvey and his family. What is Garvey's job?

Answer: Police Chief

Garvey is the Chief of Police of the small town of Mapleton. He has two children, high school student Jill, and college dropout Tom. Allusions are made about his missing wife, but we don't learn what happened to her until close to the end of the episode.
6. More fallout of the vanishing, which domesticated animals turned feral when they saw their owners disappear?

Answer: Dogs

Only dogs that saw their owners vanish turned feral. It's implied that all other dogs are fine. No other animals seem to have been affected.
7. Kevin's son, Tom, has joined a prophet/faith healer. What is the faith healer's name?

Answer: Wayne

Wayne seems to have the ability to 'heal' folks psychologically. Those burdened by survivor's guilt, abandonment issues, grief, etc. It's also implied that he has an undisclosed mission and tells Tom to prepare, because the 'grace period' is over.
8. What do Jill and the Dorfman twins find in the trunk of Kevin's car?

Answer: A dead dog

As they're burying the dog, one of the twins starts talking about the dogs that went feral and how they snapped when witnessing their owners disappear. That dogs can't reason and try to understand, they simply go primal. He points out the same thing is happening to the "leftovers", it's just taking longer.
9. What happened to Kevin's wife?

Answer: She joined the GR

Not until near the end of the episode do we learn that Kevin's wife, Laurie (played by "Judging Amy's" Amy Brenneman), is one of the silent members of the Guilty Remnant. Drunken Kevin begs her to come home, but she mutely refuses.
10. Near the end of the episode, an animal is chased and killed by a pack of dogs. What animal?

Answer: Deer

A deer is seen repeatedly throughout the episode but no clue is given as to its significance. Kevin sees one in a front yard, hits one with his car, believes a deer was responsible for his demolished kitchen, and then in the road moments before the deer is attacked by feral dogs.
