Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. The episode opens at the facilities of SRT Industries. They are about to unveil a new product. What is it?

Answer: A portable laser gun

In the demonstration, however, something goes wrong. It seems the laser had much more destructive power than the company bargained for, and is very difficult to control.

2. Brian Baker, a young executive at SRT, asks the Blue Moon detectives for help. David Addison goes to the firm's headquarters first. He uses some shaky research methods. Which is one of them?

Answer: Playing poker against SRT employees

Maddie walks in during David's game against one of the workers. Addison calls it "psychological research." Hayes is not impressed, to say the least. To David's credit, he had already tried some more standard tactics before Hayes arrived. These included interviewing the SRT workers and searching the building for listening devices.

3. Maddie decides to try a different tactic. She goes to dinner with the head of a rival firm. Who is this person?

Answer: Preston Holt

He is the leader of Holt Aerospace. In terms of personality, he seems to be about as lively as a washboard. David mercilessly ridicules Maddie for this fact. (Scott Gordon was a writer on "Moonlighting"; Nyby and Finnerman were directors.)

4. Maddie heads back to her home. What does she find there?

Answer: David let himself in

Preston goes back to Maddie's house. David, who never liked the idea of Maddie going to dinner with Holt, pretends to be one Hank Skipsquat, waiting for 'Sissy'-- that would be Maddie--to come home. The ploy works: Holt is persuaded to leave.

5. Which of the following things did Maddie learn from her research efforts?

Answer: The head of the rival company consults a psychic

Preston Holt was known to take advice from Omar Gauss, who claimed to obtain trade secrets from the spirit world. The detectives head to Gauss' home.

6. The detectives have a long talk with Omar Gauss. David is able to gain a little extra information. How does he do this?

Answer: He takes Gauss' appointment book

The book shows that Gauss has met with Brian Baker many times. It seems the source of the information is an ordinary living human--the disgruntled young executive.

Answer: Brian is afraid his sister Vivian will be given control of the firm

Brian thinks his father, Carl, will cut off the funding. He says this in an aside to Omar, out of Carl's hearing. Earlier in the episode, Maddie described Vivian as one of her best friends. This is a relatively rare thing on the show.

8. The detectives are found out by the occupants of the house. How do the gumshoes manage to get away?

Answer: They jump off the roof and into the pool

Gauss sees them in the window. He pulls a gun and fires. Luckily, no one is hit. The detectives rush to get away, but the only avenue for escape is to the pool below. Time to go swimming! They are shaken up but safe in the event. They rush to the getaway car. Maddie's red sports car is never seen again after this episode.

9. Later on, David thinks about the oddities of the case. He decides to give Maddie a call. What does he talk about?

Answer: Someone must have sabotaged the initial SRT product demonstration

The detectives also get a call from Vivian Baker. She tells them they need to come to the SRT offices.

10. What happens when the detectives get to the SRT offices?

Answer: Vivian Baker has taken control of the laser cannon

Vivian was irate that Carl had passed her over in favor of Brian. Vivian opens fire; Brian and the detectives rush out of the way. Then, one of the laser shots dislodges a piece of the ceiling. It crushes Vivian. Brian and the detectives get out safely.
