Aired the day of Charlie O'Donnell's passing. Because this episode (and possibly the Tuesday show?) had already been fed, Pat refers to Charlie being out for the week. By the time this aired, the reference had become slightly and accidentally macabre as news spread.

This must be Rashad's copy from back when he used to post all of S28 on YouTube. I recognize WLS Chicago's small ABC 7 bug in the top-right corner at the beginning.
It is just so uncanny that the episode that aired the day Charlie died, he just happened to be absent from ("downtime", as Pat put it), but he was back in the studio for a few tapings after this.
Such a shame he had to go out that way on-air. The only saving grace was that they didn't touch his voice on any reruns of episodes that originally aired prior to November 2010.
I also remember Charlie's voice continued to read the new SPIN ID's dubbed into Saturday reruns. I definitely remember his voice reading the ID on the 11/6/10 rerun, because I tuned in just to hear if someone else would have to read it. I'm pretty sure he read the ID for 11/13/10 as well. I don't remember when after that, but they eventually had Vanna read the rerun SPIN ID's.
The last ever television airing of a Wheel episode with Charlie's voice to date was on August 25, 2012. That was the last Season 28 Saturday rerun of an episode from before his death (10/21/10), and the third-to-last rerun of that season overall.

I could’ve sworn that right when Charlie passed away, they started dubbing over his voice immediately after he passed, for some reason he was dubbed over this week by Johnny and the other week that taped with this. Which I’m assuming was military week? I know the other week Johnny filled in for, Big Money Week from Las Vegas, was definitely taped with Charlie as all the Vegas shows were usually taped in a period of a few weeks. But am I completely misremembering history about the whole situation?

^ This week was definitely taped without Charlie. He died on Monday morning, so there wouldn't have been any time to dub him out so quickly. You can also see Pat actually saying that Charlie has "downtime this week"; this wasn't dubbed in because the mouth movement matches.
I actually misremembered it as Pat saying, "Charlie O'Donnell is under the weather this week."

For some reason I just remembered him being dubbed over from the get-go.

Here is the YouTube copy just in case the Dailymotion copy gets taken down (which is premiering on my channel right now):
