Shannon finally reads what's on the board. "Welcome to our new season!" How about an extra $500 for your troubles? Answer this clue:
She guesses to the left of your plate, which wasn't the intended answer. Diane could take it.
And she does with an answer of tine (though prong is also accepted).

That round gave us more than enough time for this prize. We have a Lobster Gram seafood gift certificate (labeled LOBSTER) worth $1,000.

She tries RECKON and RAYON, but she does not solve RIBBON...
...and it's not going to be the gazebo/spa. Diane still has $9,450 and will be returning.
In the post-game, Pat mentions that Vanna's new son Nicholas will be coming by later in the week. Is he ready for this?
