Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What deformity did Amanda's baby display?

Answer: tail

The doctor was somewhat shocked when the baby came out, and the nurse dropped her scissors. He did a good job of reassuring Amanda, then took the infant behind a screen, held it up, and said, "Good Lord, not another one."
2. When Mulder first told Scully about the case, who did she say should be investigating it?

Answer: local health department

Mulder informed her that the health department was already investigating, so Scully read the rest of the tabloid headline and noted that the rag suggested the mothers had mated with "visitors from space."
3. Who did Amanda say fathered her child?

Answer: Luke Skywalker

Before the birth, she'd told the nurse that the father was from another planet. When Mulder tried to question her, he had a bit of a hard time, pressing for her to confess to having been abducted and impregnated by aliens. She set Mulder straight, though, saying "No, no, I didn't say he was an alien, I said he was from another planet.

His name is Luke Skywalker. He's what's known as a Jedi Knight." Scully asked dryly, "Did he have a light saber?" Amanda missed whatever mockery was in that comment and answered earnestly that he hadn't brought it, but had sung her a song. By that point, Mulder had left the room and Scully was left to question Amanda about her "Star Wars" obsession.
4. What did the mothers of all the deformed babies have in common?

Answer: same OB-GYN

Scully showed Mulder the blood tests from the babies that revealed they all had the same father. Mulder still seemed a bit foggy, and asked, "How would this happen?" Scully replied, "The birds and the bees and the monkey babies, Mulder." Mulder took that theory one step further, saying, "Birds do it, bees do it, even educated MD's do it. All five of these women shared the same OB-GYN, didn't they?" Mulder reminded Scully that the four women other than Amanda had been receiving insemination therapy and implied that the doctor hadn't quite been following protocol.
5. After Dr. Alton implied that the women had conceived by having sex outside their marriages, Mrs. Nieman asserted, "I haven't been with a man since ____!"

Answer: 1989

Fred tried to calm his wife down, but she exclaimed, "No, I want to know what he means by that. I haven't been with a man since 1989! I mean, not counting you." Dr. Alton pointed out that Amanda hadn't undergone artificial insemination, so he couldn't be responsible for the sperm involved in all five babies.
6. Mulder found Eddie fixing the plumbing on a sink. When Mulder said he was with the FBI and wanted to ask Eddie a few questions, did Eddie run?

Answer: yes

When Mulder said he had some questions, Eddie said, "Uh, yeah. Okay." However, just after saying that, he bolted from the room and ran off down the hall! In a classic reaction, Mulder sighed and rolled his eyes before pursuing Eddie and tackling him in the hall.
7. What mistake did Eddie point out in his name on the paternity tests Scully showed him?

Answer: left out a silent "h"

He told the agents that it was a silent "h", but that lots of people spelled it wrong.
8. When Mulder asked Eddie if romance was involved in getting the five women pregnant, what appealing quality did Eddie suggest he might have?

Answer: personality

Eddie had objected to Scully's scientific phrasing of events, so Mulder asked, "So you're saying there was romance involved?" Eddie retorted, "Why is that so hard to believe? Just cause I was born with a tail no woman would want me? Maybe I got... personality. Ever think of that?" Scully took Mulder out to the hall and, quite nobly, declared, "On, uh, on behalf of all the women in the world, I seriously doubt this has anything to do with consensual sex."
9. How did Eddie knock out the Deputy who was entering his information into the computer?

Answer: bashed his head with a desk ornament

The officer was being impudent and mocking Eddie's insistence on the silent "h". As he entered Eddie's information, Eddie morphed into looking like the officer, and when he looked back over, Eddie hit him over the head with a desk ornament of a pig dressed in a cop's uniform.
10. When Scully beat Mulder to the theory that Eddie was able to physically transform into other people, what did Mulder suggest they do?

Answer: pick out china patterns

After interviewing the Deputy, Mulder told Scully, "I have a theory. Do you want to hear it?" Before he could get any of it out, though, Scully volunteered, "Van Blundht somehow physically transformed into his captor then walked out the door leaving no one the wiser?" Mulder asked with satisfaction, "Hey Scully, should we be picking out china patterns or what?"
