Now for the intro, since the source I am using for this recap cuts out in some places, I will piece together whatever I can through knowledge from previous episodes (for the intro) and what happens in the episode itself for everything else.
WHEEL! OF! FORTUNE!
Opening:
Jack: “Look at this studio, filled with glamourous prizes, fabulous and exciting merchandise! Including: This $6,600 dollar American-made hatchback! A handsomely elegant man's diamond ring! And Family fun in a new $7,900 dollar station wagon! Over $55,000 dollars just waiting to be won on Wheel of Fortune! And now, here's your host, Pat Sajak!”
Introductions:
Lou Foxx – A bookkeeper working toward his MBA. Didn't get into UCLA, but plans on trying again next year.
Cindy Roman – A married mother of two. Enjoys playing guitar and singing. Her brother sings professionally, but she doesn't.
Karen Silten – A student at UCLA. Pat tells Karen to talk to Lou and Karen says “Sorry Lou.” Started her own business recently. She is President of a line of active wear. (Whatever that is)
Game Spiel:
“Top dollar value for this round is $1000 dollars, also a free spin out there, try not to hit bankrupt though, if you lose your cash.... if you do, you lose your cash, and not your merchandise, because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep.”
After stumbling over his words he says “The guy is losing it.” in reference to himself.
ROUND ONE
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
PHRASE
SPIN 1- Lou won the draw backstage so he gets to spin first. And right out of the gate, it's a fantastic spin! $1000! He calls a T. Two T's! That's $2000 dollars!
SPIN 2- Lou wants the thousand again, but he won't complain because he lands on $600. He calls an L, but he finds none. Time to give Cindy her first spin.
SPIN 3- Cindy spins and lands on a modest $175 two spaces before Bankrupt. She calls an N as in Nancy, and finds one Nancy worth $175 dollars.
SPIN 4- This time the wheel goes just a bit further to give her a nice $750 dollars. She calls a D. There is a D. Up to $925. Cindy wants to buy a vowel. She buys an A. Just one, in the predictable place. $675 remains.
SPIN 5- With her spin power, it's no surprise, it goes just a little too far and hits the Bankrupt wiping out her $675.
SPIN 6- Karen gets her first spin, and it lands on the red $300. She calls an R. One R and another R, both at the ends of the first and third word. $600 dollars.
SPIN 7- Karen goes just past the thousand and lands on the $200 on the other side of it. She calls a G, and there are two of them. An even $1000 dollars.
SPIN 8- Only one consonant left, but Karen is going to spin to get some more money. Not as big of a spin as she hoped, but still, $175. She calls a B. Two B's, and all the consonants are gone. She's up to $1350 dollars.
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
Only vowels remain. Karen will solve it.
B _ G G _ R
A N D
B _ T T _ R
PHRASE
Karen solves BIGGER AND BETTER for $1350 dollars!
Time to go spend that $1350 in the Utility Centre. For $991 she buys the washer and dryer. $359 to go. For $278, she'll buy the kitchen appliances. That leaves a $81 dollar gift certificate and two prizes for Karen.
Lou - $0
Cindy - $0
Karen - $1350
Duds: L (Lou)
Bankrupt: Cindy ($675)
ROUND TWO
There's still $1000 on the wheel, but also a nice prize as well.
Jack: “It's a trip to the Bahamas! We'll fly you and a guest from Los Angeles to the Grand Bahamas. Where you'll enjoy a wide variety of watersports, entertainment and culinary delight. In the Holiday Inn on the oceanfront in Freeport, Grand Bahama Island. And you'll fly to the Bahamas by a Pan-American World Airways, featuring gracious in-flight service, comfortable seating and a pleasurable dining experience. Furnished by Pan American. Total retail value $2851 dollars!”

THINGS
SPIN 1- Cindy is Player 2, so she starts Round 2. A solid first spin. $400, two spaces before Bankrupt. She calls an S, and there are three of them. $1200 dollars already.
SPIN 2- The spin is closing in, it doesn't look good, Bankrupt is coming up, it looks like it's going to stop..... but the flipper moves one more space at the last second to land on $400. She calls a T. A total of four T's in this puzzle! That's $2800 dollars total.
Cindy wants to solve the puzzle already! Does she know it?
_ _ T _ _
S T _ T _ S T _ _ S
THINGS
Cindy solves VITAL STATISTICS for $2800 dollars!
She'll spend that money in the Country Showcase. She spends it in a big way, for $2620 dollars she buys a trip to Mexico! Quickly that brings her down to $180. For $62 dollars she'll buy the sports tube. That leaves $118 dollars for a large gift certificate.
Lou – Nothing yet
Cindy - $2800
Karen - $1350
ROUND 3
It's the biggie, a $5000 dollar space on the wheel.

PLACE
A lot of letters to uncover as well, good be a huge payday for someone.
SPIN 1- Karen will start the round. The spin looks good, you can see that silver glittery space, it's slowing down..... it lands on the big one! $5000! She calls a T. One big T for a big $5000 dollar start!
SPIN 2- This time it will pass the $5000, but Karen will be happy with this spin too. $1500 this time. She calls an S. There is one S. She has a big $6500.
SPIN 3- The spin is slowing down.... The bankrupt is coming up.... Will it stop? No, it won't. Karen will lose $6500 dollars in a painful bankrupt. Karen will shrug that off, and the turn goes to Lou.
SPIN 4- Once again, that bankrupt looms, and Lou hits it. He loses no money, but does lose his turn. On to Cindy.
SPIN 5- Cindy spins and lands on $250, two spaces before Lose a Turn. Two H's. $500 dollars.
SPIN 6- This time Cindy passes the Lose a Turn to land on the $350 right beside it. She calls an N, and that will add $350 to her score bringing her to $850. Cindy opts to buy a vowel. She buys an E. $250 dollars gets her four E's. Down to $600.
SPIN 7- You can see the $5000, it's slowing down and looks like it won't make it, The arrow is sliding on the last peg before the $5000, and it makes it! $5000! She calls an R. One R dramatically increases her score to $5600!
SPIN 8- It's closing in again, and this time there's no problem this time. $5000 again! Cindy hopes there's an F. And it comes through! One F! $10600 dollars! Cindy wants a vowel and she can sure afford it, she buys an O. There are two O's. Still a huge amount left, $10350 dollars. Cindy buys another vowel. This time she buys an I. There's a pair of I's. Still $10100 dollars sitting in front of her.
SPIN 9- There it is again! That familiar space! $5000! She calls a P, but she won't find a P. She'll find THREE of them! $25100 dollars!
For $25100 dollars, Cindy is ready to solve.

PLACE
Cindy solves THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA for $25100 dollars!!
She will now spend that $25100 dollars. For $7900 she starts with the brand new station wagon! That only took a chip off the total, $17000+ to go. For $6625, another brand new car! This time it's a hatchback. She can't get rid of the money, still $10500+ to spend. When she gets tired from driving her brand new cars, she'll need a holiday, so she buys a trip to Japan worth $4098 dollars. Pat jokes that with her remaining winnings, they'll build her a bridge from here to Japan. For $2800, she buys the man's diamond ring. $3600 to go. For $500, she'll buy the ceiling light fan.

Cindy - $27900
Karen - $1350
