Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who was the person initially chosen to succeed Lieutenant Fancy?

Answer: Susan Dalto

Dalto is the first choice to replace Fancy. She is abrasive and ball-busting to nearly every person in the precinct. John the PAA explains to the precinct that due to her manner, she had earned the nickname "The Winemaker" for her ability to stomp on grapes. John explains the nickname is metaphorical. Gibson briefly becomes leader of the squad in later seasons. Rodriguez would take over for Dalto who is quickly re-assigned after Fancy intervenes. Rodriguez is not the true successor to Fancy, as Dalto had the job first before she is disgracefully re-routed.

Her overbearing leadership made too many enemies in the 15th Precinct. Dalto was played effectively by actress Denise Crosby. She is the granddaughter of Bing Crosby.
2. What is the name of Gibson's niece that Sipowicz briefly dated?

Answer: Cynthia

Gibson set Cynthia and Sipowicz up shortly after the shooting death of Sylvia. Sipowicz was still mourning the death of his wife and Cynthia had not dated for years. She had been taking care of a sick relative that had passed away after a long illness. Their brief relationship is compromised by Cynthia and Gibson sharing too much information about Sipowicz.
3. After she is widowed by Bobby Simone, Diane Russell dates Danny. Then she dates someone who both her and Bobby knew. Who does Diane Russell date after Danny?

Answer: A doctor

Diane runs into the doctor while working a case. She and he had had friendly interactions of hope and positivity when Bobby was first admitted to the hospital. Once Bobby dies, Diane mourns for s while. When her partner Jill is compromised, Diane kisses Denby to get information on Jill's ex-husband and their drug smuggling ventures. Diane then scorns and rebukes Denby and ultimately shoots Denby to death in a hostage standoff. Diane dates Danny before the doctor.
