He knows where we are! It's the kitchen.

Damian accepts the "insinkerator".

Before the P is even revealed, Anne solves ENCORE PERFORMANCE. It's all over for Simone.
Rob's really glad that she solved it, so at least she can take home a metal detector, a Stanley Rogers 88-piece cutlery set, or an Electrolux front-loading washing machine.
Anne takes the washer.
