He guesses BIRTHREADER and PERFORATOR, but he does not solve HEARTBREAKER, which was his "next guess". Scott leaves with a grand total of $49,992 in prizes.
In the post-game, Pat and Vanna can't decide who reads an offscreen card. Pat walks over to pick it up, and it says: "35 yr. anniv. KFDX-TV Witchita Falls, Texas". After reading it, Pat quickly rips the card.
