Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Whose idea was it to have a DNA run after their blood type came back as incompatible with their parents'?

Answer: Bay Kennish's

In the first episode, Bay was seen in class with her then boyfriend Liam. They were doing blood typing. Bay's blood type, she found out from her father John Kennish, was not compatible with his and his wife's. Bay pushed them for a DNA test, and they discovered that Bay was not their biological offspring. Vanessa Marano played Bay.
2. How did Daphne Vasquez become deaf?

Answer: From antibiotics to treat meningitis

Regina first explained to the Kennish family that Daphne became ill with meningitis at age three, which caused her to lose her hearing. She later went in depth that it was actually the antibiotics used to treat Daphne that caused her to become deaf. Regina chose the possibility of deafness for Daphne so she would not die from the illness. Daphne still had a tiny portion of her hearing, which explained why she wore hearing aids, and could read lips extremely well. Actress Katie LeClerc played Daphne, who herself started going deaf from an illness.

She does not actually have the affected deaf accent when she speaks, but added it to make Daphne more realistic.
3. When the series began, Daphne's mom Regina already knew they girls had been switched.

Answer: True

When Bay went in search for her biological father, Angelo, she found a guitar pick inside his old car. Emmett then told Bay that Regina was particularly protective of an old guitar case she owned. Bay passed this on to Daphne, who figured out that the three digit code was the numerical equivalent of Bay's name on a telephone key pad.

Inside the case, Daphne found many pictures of Bay from different time frames. Regina found out about the switch after Angelo left her. She hired a detective to find out what happened to her real daughter, after her own DNA test revealed that Daphne was not her or Angelo's child.
4. What happened to Daphne's friend, and Bay's boyfriend, Tyler Mendoza in episode five "Dogs Playing Poker"?

Answer: He left to be in the military

Tyler revealed that he'd joined the military. At age nineteen, and with little prospects, Tyler had decided to enlist without telling Bay or Daphne. Regina explained that many young men from their old neighborhood would do this for their future. Bay was crushed that he was leaving, but in the end they parted as friends.

This opened the way for Bay and Emmett to grow closer. Blair Redford played Ty. He went on to star in the TV series "The Lying Game", another ABC Family original series. Constance Marie played Regina Vasquez.
5. What was the name of the band Toby and Wilke had, that Emmett later joined on as drummer?

Answer: Guitar Face

Toby and Wilke were skeptical about Emmett joining, as he was deaf. Daphne assured her brother that Emmett was a great drummer, because he could feel the music. It turned out she was right, and Emmett was a great drummer. In one episode, they lied and said their band name was Free Booze, just to get people come and hear them play. Wilke explained that Guitar Face was a name his mom had come up with to explain the look on his face while he played. Lucas Grabeel played Toby, Austin Butler played Wilke and Sean Berdy played Emmett.
6. Which actor played the role of one of the girls' fathers, Angelo Sorrento?

Answer: Gilles Marini

Angelo was first known as the guy that left Daphne when she became deaf. It was later explained that Regina had some part in his leaving. Yes, he did not believe her when she swore to have never cheated on him, and did his own DNA test. The test proved he was not Daphne's biological father.

This made Regina realize something was wrong, which lead to her own test. She told Angelo that if he couldn't trust her, that he should just leave. So, he did. Bay searched for him unsuccessfully with Emmett's help, but with none from Regina or Daphne. But, it was an article he read that brought Angelo back to town. Angelo revealed to John Kennish that he knew the nurse on staff at the hospital had been on duty for 48 hours straight.

This could help John and Angelo win money from a lawsuit.
7. In which US city did the show take place?

Answer: Kansas City

They all lived in or around Kansas City.
8. What was the name of the school for the deaf that Emmett and Daphne attended?

Answer: Carlton School for the Deaf

Emmett's mother, Melody, was a guidance counselor and basketball coach at Carlton. Also in season one, Daphne took at class at Toby and Bay's private school, Buckner Hall, and John coached basketball at Carlton as well. Marlee Matlin played Emmett's mother Melody. Melody was not fond of Emmett and Bay's romance.
9. What kind of class did Daphne decide to take at Bay's school, Buckner Hall?

Answer: Cooking

Though Daphne was a vegetarian, Kathryn Kennish urged her to take Buckner's cooking class. It was hard for her at first, and she had to accept an interpreter from the school. Daphne did not make exclusively vegetarian dishes in her class, but did become closer to Wilke while at Buckner.

She later quit her Carlton basketball team to join Buckner's team, despite John's disapproval. Lea Thompson played Kathryn and D.W. Moffett played John.
10. What was the name of Emmett's motorcycle?

Answer: Ripley

In "Les Soeurs d'Estrées", episode fourteen, Emmett was forced to sell his beloved motorcycle. Daphne told Bay that he'd received it for his thirteenth birthday, from his father, and named it Ripley. She said that was after Ellen Ripley, from his favorite movie "Aliens". Emmett had a $5,000 fine to pay after being arrested for vandalism.

He gave his mother the $4,750 he made from the sale, and then informed her he was moving in with his dad. All of the choices are characters from the film "Aliens".
11. Which former "Six Feet Under" co-star played the role of nurse Munoz, who Angelo found to testify against the hospital?

Answer: Justina Machado

Nurse Munoz claimed to have been on duty 48 hours straight the night the girls were born. She told Kathryn she was not completely sure she had switched the babies, but that it was possible. She had distinct memories from that night that convinced Kathryn she had been there. Unfortunately, she was fired from her job after joining the lawsuit, which led to Kathryn to giving her money. That act tainted her as a witness.

Justina played Vanessa Diaz on HBO's "Six Feet Under". The incorrect choices are all roles played by actress Lauren Graham. Lauren starred on "Gilmore Girls" for several seasons, and went on to spend several seasons on "Parenthood".
12. Did Daphne hit the game winning shot against Buckner Hall during their play-off style basketball game?

Answer: Yes

Though Daphne had gone from Carlton to Buckner, and back again, she did not totally relish her spotlight position as deaf role model. Families of deaf children came from all over to watch their game. At the end of the game, all Simone had to do was dribble out the clock, but she took a shot and missed it. Daphne rebounded and Simone fouled her. That gave Daphne two free throw attempts, and she hit them both. Carlton won by one point. This was episode 20, "Game On".
Maiara Walsh played Simone. She also played Ana Solis, Carlos' niece, on "Desperate Housewives".
13. Who told Bay about Emmett and Simone's sexual encounter?

Answer: Emmett

Emmett and Simone slept together after the basketball play-off game. Simone was feeling poorly at having lost the game for Buckner, though I think she fouled Daphne on purpose. Emmett was mad at Bay for helping Melody get full custody from his father.

He hurt his hand and Simone offered him alcohol and sympathy. That led to a supposedly drunken sexual encounter. Wilke found out the truth first and kept it to himself. Then, Daphne found out from Wilke and kept it to herself. Finally, Emmett revealed the truth to Bay at the Carlton Prom.

The season one winter finale ended on that note.
14. Did Bay visit her father, Angelo, before attending the Carlton Prom with Emmett?

Answer: Yes

After having been missing for several episodes, Angelo was finally discovered in the custody of ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He needed an immigration lawyer, and Regina told him she'd look into it for him. When Bay found out where he was, she told Emmett. Emmett suggested to her that they go there, so Bay could visit Angelo before he was possibly deported.

They rode over there on Emmett's newly restored motorcycle. Then, they were able to go the dance and enjoy it. Daphne had invited her new pal Travis after Wilke bailed on her, but then Wilke showed up all ready to go last minute. So, the three of them rode together. Actor Ryan Lane played Travis.
15. When Bay came back from the Galapagos Islands, she had a new boyfriend. What was his name?

Answer: Alex

In episode 23, "This Is the Color of My Dreams", Bay came back to town after spending time away for the summer. This episode aired as a season one episode, six months after episode 22, "Venus, Cupid, Folly, and Time". Regina felt forced to marry Angelo in this episode as well, so he would not be departed to Italy.

This placed a crimp in her relationship with Patrick, and even more so when she had to allow him to move into her place in episode 24, "The Intruder". Bay's relationship with Alex was short-lived, as she was still hung up on Emmett.

She told Emmett that he'd ruined them, and possibly every other guy she might be interested in as time went on. Mat Vairo played Alex.
