Charlie solves THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY.

$3,850 |
Charlie seems to be good at picking up prizes, so maybe he can grab a pair of Yamaha Razz scooters (labeled SCOOTERS) worth $2,598.
We have a $2,500 space and a big puzzle, in case Charlie isn't confident about the upcoming Bonus Round (if he gets there).

Charlie solves I NEVER MET A MAN I DIDN'T LIKE. Wouldn't he like a $500 bonus? He just needs to know who said it.
His guess is Mae West. We have to move to Wyatt.
He has the right idea. It's Will Rogers. Pat would've said Madonna.
Lisa | Charlie | Wyatt (DP) |
$4,850 | $1,800 |
Lisa doesn't like the thought of leaving empty-handed. We could make up for it if she hits the $5,000 space or even a trip to ST. LUCIA.

Unfortunately, that is how it ends for Lisa. She's leaving with the nice parting gifts.
Wyatt's Double Play ends up double-crossed.
BONUS ROUND:
Charlie will be leaving with $32,010 if he doesn't get this one, but he'll do what he can. We have some new prizes...
Riviera (over $33,000)
Orient Express rail journey (over $23,000)
Lumina minivan (over $22,000)
Gold necklace (over $16,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)
"The cash" ($25,000)
Will all of these inspire Charlie to win? We'll see after he takes the H (again) and we give him this puzzle:

His final choices are KCGI...
...and that makes three outs.
He guesses FLUKE and SLITE, but he does not solve ALOHA...
...and this time, it's the $25,000. Charlie is leaving with $32,010 in total.
In the post-game, Pat notices real clouds moving across the skyline above the Orient Express prize. If we can get it to rain in this studio, it would be realistic like a blizzard.
