Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: his brother, David (Michael C. Hall)

In the second episode of the season, "Out, Out, Brief Candle," Nate tearfully turns to his younger brother for support and tells him about the AVM. He only told Claire, Brenda, and his mother after having obvious episodes in their presence.

2. Claire Fisher (Lauren Ambrose) has an AOL account, and the screenname she uses contains a reference to a particular movie. Which one?

Answer: "The Sixth Sense"

Claire's screenname is "ICDeadPeople," a line made famous (and, due to repetition in the media, irritating) by Haley Joel Osment's character in "The Sixth Sense." Of course, the fact that Claire lives above a funeral parlor lends the line some additional credence.

3. In "Driving Mr. Mossback," we meet Nate's former roommate and occasional lover Lisa (Lili Taylor). Claire catches Lisa talking, at length, to something unusual. What is it?

Answer: a group of ants

Lisa doesn't believe that killing the ants in her kitchen would be right, so she tries pleading with them to leave. Claire points out that her father used to set pesky ants on fire.

4. How old was Nate when he lost his virginity?

Answer: 15

When the Fisher kids' Aunt Sarah (Patricia Clarkson) shows up unexpectedly in the episode entitled "In Place of Anger," it's revealed that Nate lost his virginity at fifteen during a visit at Sarah's house, courtesy of her thirtysomething friend.

Answer: Allen Ginsburg

Sarah calls it "The 'Howl' Weekend." One of the most famous works by poet Ginsburg is the collection called "Howl."

6. Rico Diaz (Freddy Rodriguez) has a cousin who works in construction and helps him and his wife decide to buy a house. What is this cousin's name?

Answer: Ramon

Ramon provides viewers (and Rico) with one of the most surprising moments of the season.

7. In "The Invisible Woman," Brenda befriends a client who also happens to be a prostitute. What's her name?

Answer: Melissa

Melissa (played by the alluring Kellie Waymire) gets blamed for Brenda's ensuing sexually adventurous behavior...but I don't buy that any more than Melissa did. Waymire also had a recurring role as Crewman Cutler on "Enterprise"...and disturbingly, I found her more attractive in a Starfleet uniform than in Melissa's come-hither "SFU" attire. Sue me: I'm a geek. =)

Answer: Joni Mitchell

The song was "Woodstock." "Back To the Garden," this episode's title, is a line from that song -- made more famous, perhaps, by the version recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.

Answer: 4

We even see David constructing these braids once or twice.

10. Which of the following violent acts occurs in this season?

Answer: Brenda hits her mother.

During a rather heated discussion in her mother's car -- a "stakeout" of sorts to see if Brenda's father is committing adultery -- Brenda slaps her mother (Joanna Cassidy) dead in the face.

Answer: He has cut his hair.

Billy is sporting a much shorter hairdo this season. Brenda and Nate are, of course, less than pleased about Billy's having been released so soon, given the events of the first season.

12. Brenda, always one to buck tradition, proposes to Nate in "The Invisible Woman." What is the significance of the ring she gives him?

Answer: It's her grandfather's fraternity ring.

Nate later throws this ring at her, once he learns of her sexual exploits throughout the season.

13. Keith's niece Taylor is hospitalized for a particular ailment. Which organ(s) does this ailment affect?

Answer: the appendix

Taylor is hospitalized for appendicitis. She had been complaining about how her "tummy hurt" for several episodes, but no one listened.

14. It happens off-camera, but David Fisher spots one of the cast members of "Friends" at the funeral of Jeff Shapiro, a Hollywood attorney. What character did said cast member portray?

Answer: Ross

David: "I saw one of the 'Friends.' Nate: "Which one?" David: "The Jewish one." Nate: "Rachel?" David: "Ross." David Schwimmer plays Ross Geller on "Friends."

15. Under which circumstances does Nate NOT have a seizure in season two?

Answer: while arranging a funeral

In "Driving Mr. Mossback," Nate has a seizure in Claire's presence while ordering at a fast food drive-through. In "The Liar and the Whore," Nate has a seizure while making love to Brenda. In "I'll Take You," Nate has an episode in the car while Ruth is driving. Nate has never had a seizure during an intake, as of season two.

16. Of the people listed, who was the last person to see Nathaniel Fisher, Sr. (Richard Jenkins) alive?

Answer: Ruth

During the multiple flashbacks in "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," it's made clear that Ruth was the last person to see Nathaniel before he climbed into the hearse to pick up Nate from the airport on Christmas Eve. He tried to kiss his wife good-bye, but she shoved a carrot stick into his mouth instead. Ouch. That's gotta hurt, Ruth.

17. Despite her problems with him in season one, Ruth's co-worker Robbie (Joel Brooks) is quite friendly with her in season two. By what pet name does he usually call her?

Answer: Cupcake

It's clearly a term of endearment, but I get the feeling that Ruth doesn't like it much.

Answer: toxic

Brenda later uses this same word to describe her relationship with Melissa.

19. David has a fantasy in which he and Keith are interviewed as "the perfect couple." Who conducts the interview?

Answer: Leeza Gibbons

In the fantasy interview, David and Keith have two kids, and are thinking about a third.

20. Nate's ex-roommate and ex-lover Lisa moves to Los Angeles this season due to the acquisition of a new job. What job does she now hold?

Answer: chef

She is a vegan chef for an unnamed producer. Part two of this quiz is coming soon!
