Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. First off, what room number is Julie's office in this episode?

Answer: 121

Which is odd considering in "The Gigolo," her offices were at 203, but 121 is the same office she had in the other episode! Maybe they renumbered the building.

2. Where was Ben going?

Answer: Texas

We learn this when Julie comes to his house to ask Ben to take the case. He says that he cannot take the case because he was on his way to Texas.

3. Why was Ben leaving town?

Answer: To accept an honorary degree

He was on his way to accept an honorary degree from Braddock University, which he had never attended. The University had been asking him for 2 years to accept this and make a speech at graduation.

4. What was the name of the defendant?

Answer: Phillip Sleighton

When Julie was given the case by her friend David, she tells him that she couldn't prosecute the case because Phillip was her friend. However, their boss was out of town without a 'car phone' so she wasn't able to drop the case until he came back.

5. What did Julie's coworker, David, say she needed?

Answer: car phone

David had been trying to contact her but was unable to because, he said, she didn't have a car phone.

6. What was Cynthia's profession?

Answer: author

Her sister Joanna was the one who had given up the modeling career. Cynthia Sleighton was a very famous author - Les even read her books!

7. How much life insurance did Cynthia's husband take out on her?

Answer: $1 million

That's why it looked like he was trying to kill his wife. Cynthia was the one who had all the money, Phillip had (in Cynthia's words) no money at all.

8. Who was Cynthia's heir?

Answer: Her husband, Phillip

She hated her sister, Joanna, because she had come to help during Cynthia's back surgery and never left (this was because Joanna and Phillip were having an affair). Her assistant played only a minor (although crucial) role in the episode and her best friend is the one who was murdered.

9. How did Cynthia describe Elizabeth?

Answer: "Popcorn for brains"

Cynthia didn't get along with many people.

10. How did Phillip describe Elizabeth?

Answer: Nice

It's funny how the husband liked the best friend better than Cynthia.

11. Finally, the question you've all been waiting for: Who was the victim?

Answer: Elizabeth

Elizabeth had been having an allergic reaction to the cat and took one of Cynthia's allergy pills (over the objections of Phillip because they weren't Elizabeth's medication). Unfortunately, the pill was poisoned and she died.

12. How does Joanna say Cynthia treats Phillip?

Answer: With contempt

When Julie first talks to Joanna, Joanna says "Welcome to Oz. Have you met the wicked witch yet?"

13. When Julie asked Joanna if there was anyone who didn't like Cynthia, Joanna replied that the line starter "at the right and went to ____."

Answer: Alaska

This made Julie's job so much easier - now she really didn't have any suspects.

14. What was the only thing the assistant would tell Julie about the murder?

Answer: "Phillip Sleighton deserves better."

Apparently everyone hated Cynthia - even her personal assistant! Cynthia told her assistant that she had to appear calm at all times and that if there was any falling apart that had to be done, that was Cynthia's job.

15. What type of car did Julie drive in this episode?

Answer: Volvo

I couldn't exactly see what color it was, but it was a dark blue or green with tan leather interior.
