Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. As the episode opens, we learn that secretary Agnes Dipesto has won a contest. The prize is a trip on a special train line. Which of the following is it?

Answer: A 'solve a mystery' train

The train trip was hosted by author J.B. Harland. Rick Jason played the part of the novelist.

Answer: J. B. Harland

The remaining passengers scurry about the train in a panicked attempt to find some clues. Since the train is already in motion and not scheduled to make any stops for two days, there is no chance to get the police.

3. Passenger Janet McCall makes a speech about the clashes between men and women. Afterwards, she confides in someone about this and other issues in the case. Who is it?

Answer: Maddie

McCall and Skyler Cantrell argue over who among the passengers is the most likely suspect. Later, McCall sits down to talk with Maddie. There is ill will between most of the people on the train, which adds to the tension of the case.

4. What weapon was used in the murder?

Answer: A knife

This episode first aired in the United States on March 26, 1985. It was the fifth episode of the first season.

5. The detectives take time to ponder the facts of the case. David and Maddie have a seat on a bed in the corner of the room. What happens next?

Answer: The bed folds into the wall

When the bed folds out again, Maddie is furious. She insists David did it on purpose. He denies it, but that doesn't stop them from getting into a fight.

6. The first suspect in the case is none other than Agnes Dipesto. Why is this?

Answer: The body was found in her room

Luckily, it turns out the theories were incorrect. Agnes had no motive. Also, viewers would note that jealousy and violence are very much against the placid, upbeat personality of the Blue Moon receptionist.

7. David spends some time talking to passenger Rodney Dillon. Although it's been a short trip so far, Rodney says he's starting to fall in love with one of the passengers. Who is this?

Answer: Agnes Dipesto

In real life, actors Vincent Schiavelli and Allyce Beasley were married for three years, from 1985-1988. They had one son, Andrea. (Ali Marie Matheson was one of the writers for the show.)

8. Rodney says he had a lot of resentment toward J. B. Harland. In a shocking move, he pulls a knife on Agnes. What does Dipesto say?

Answer: Love is hard!

Rodney uses Agnes for a hostage, so he can get out of the room. He then hurries to escape, and winds up letting her go.

9. A chase breaks out. The man hurries to what part of the train?

Answer: The roof

The detectives rush after him. It's not easy to hang on to the roof; David warns Rodney to look out for a bridge that's just around the bend. Dillon still thinks he can beat the odds--but he doesn't... Another case resolved, albeit in a ghoulish manner. At least the detectives live to see another day.

10. Back at Blue Moon, things return to normal. Agnes tells Maddie she has some good news. What is it?

Answer: She's going on a date with the sandwich vendor

Agnes has a date with the man who sells lunches in the office building. They're going out for "hot food." It would not be until the third season that Agnes met Herbert Viola, who was her boyfriend thereafter in the series.
