Here's a fun tidbit: I had up to Round 3 of this show recapped in June. I just completely forgot about this episode until today. Anyways, let's go.
RETRO RECAP: 2/14/86 Daytime (Randy + Melissa/Matt + Lori/Morton + Patti)
Look at this studio, filled with glamorous prizes! Filled with exciting merchandise, including: this spiffy new $12,000 American made car! A beautiful $4,700 ruby bracelet! And a romantic second honeymoon in the Poconos! Over $66,000 just waiting to be won today, as we continue couples week on Wheel of Fortune! And now, here's your host, Pat Sajak!
Here are today's couples! (Pat mentions wrapping up the week, so this is a Friday.)
Randy and Melissa Wolfmeister are from Las Vegas. Met at an ice show. Melissa is a three-time national championship skater with brother. Won $16,450 on Thursday?
Matt and Lori Jigelca? are from Hayward, CA. Won $8,065, which put them in third place. Has two children (Eric and Michelle).
Morton and Patti Hollander are from Philadelphia. Won $9,065 on Monday.

Had I counted the Daytime episodes in my ongoing 4+ list, this would have been the first use of this puzzle that we know of, and made the puzzle back in October its fourth use. However, already excited, Morton and Patti solve NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS in unison.
Grand total: $27,477!
Pat chat: Vanna gets Pat a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Pat, who didn't buy anything, gives Vanna a couple bucks for her to spend on herself.
My rating: 8ish? My judgement is kind of clouded due to not doing this in one go.
