Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The episode opens to the sight of an attack on an abortion clinic. Which of the following events is it?

Answer: Bombing

The attack kills one person at the center. When the detectives take up the case, they soon find themselves in a heated debate about the abortion issue.
2. The detectives find an important clue in Mary Donovan's car. What is it?

Answer: A flier from an anti-abortion group

The flier names an organization called "Women for Life." Group members say they are opposed to violence, and just as surprised as anyone else by the outcome of events. This group is fictional and has no relationship to any real organizations with similar names.
3. The police speak to Mary's family. Her brother Kevin, who works in a lumber yard, says that Mary's father has struggled to deal with the shock of the event. What did her brother say was a sign of this?

Answer: Her father made some coffee and poured it down the drain

Mary's brother is, understandably, also deeply shaken. "Just like that, I had a sister, and now I don't."
4. The detectives talk to Mary's boyfriend. Where does he work?

Answer: A private school

Patrick Dunne is a teacher. So was Mary, prior to her death. Patrick says he and Mary had talked about getting married.
5. The detectives go to the home of Mary Donovan's parents. What happens there?

Answer: The parents are both upset but disagree about what Mary did

Mary's father, Geoffrey, says the woman "did what she did out of her own conscience." Her mother, Barbara, says that even so, it wasn't worth it, because Mary can't come home and enjoy what would have happened in the rest of her life.
6. The detectives find out that Patrick Dunne had an additional connection to the incident. What is it?

Answer: His fingerprints were on a fake ID card Mary had with her

Dunne is taken in for questioning, as is Mary Donovan's brother, Kevin. Barbara Donovan tells the police Mary had gotten in a fight with Dunne the day of the clinic incident, and Kevin broke it up.
7. Patrick Dunne breaks down under police questioning. What does he say?

Answer: Mary had gone to the clinic to get an abortion

Patrick reveals that Mary was at the clinic as a patient. This, then, completely confounds the theories as to who put the device in Mary's car and why. Kevin Donovan, meanwhile, is furious that Patrick talked about it. He jumps up and punches Patrick. Kevin is promptly arrested.
8. The district attorney's office proceeds with the case. Of the following, who is indicted?

Answer: Rose Schwimmer, head of Women for Life

A woman named Celeste McClure was found to have the fertilizer used to make the bomb. She agrees to testify about Rose's involvement in the case.
9. The defendant insists on testifying. Which of the following does he or she say?

Answer: The incident was justified

Rose Schwimmer takes the stand in her own defense. She had earlier refused to accept a plea bargain. She makes an impassioned speech. When she stands up, the judge tells her to stop. Schwimmer refuses.
10. Assistant District Attorney Ben Stone gets in one last remark. What is it about?

Answer: If the defendant regards abortion as "murder," the incident at the clinic was essentially the same

Stone says that if Schwimmer thinks abortion is "murder," then "weren't you guilty of murder when the bomb killed Mary Donovan's unborn child?" Despite this direct confrontation, Schwimmer stands behind her plea of not guilty. She is, nevertheless, convicted of second-degree felonies in murder and arson.
