Before the show, Vanna asks Pat for ideas how to dress for a Halloween party. Maybe Tinker Bell? Funny Lady? A genie?

How about a game show hostess?

From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! This is Halloween Week!

Today's contestants:
Kelly McGowan: Part-time model, also graduated with a degree in organizational communication; from Dayton, OH
Sue Prather: Aircraft sheet metal mechanic for the government, from Midwest City, OK
Jody Quintinar (male): Paramedic, from Temecula, CA

The top-dollar value on the Wheel is $1,000. Try not to hit Bankrupt, or you might awaken an unknown evil that will haunt you tomorrow.

Kelly: S ($600)
Sue: E (x4) ($2,400)

Chevy S10 pickup (over $24,000)
Frankenstein's Castle tour in the Bavarian countryside (over $22,000)

Things are going well so far. Now Sue picks the H (a cat meows at her), and she could solve this puzzle:

RSTLNE gives her:

CDMO reveals a few good letters.

She instantly solves BOOKMARK...

...so she's taking the Johnson Matthey Gold and Silver bars worth $20,000! Sue finishes with $26,450 and is coming back tomorrow!

In the post-game, Pat was talking with Harry and says that there will be a trip to Denver on November 10th. Vanna also decided that tomorrow, she's gonna be a game show hostess.
