We need to "bandage" the Wheel for a few minutes, and we'll do it with an IBM compatible CSR 286 Slimline computer with color monitor and keyboard (labeled COMPUTER) worth $2,799.
When one step at a time is too slow, there's always the $2,500 space.

Charlie plays a critical role on our show! Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to give anyone a Fred Hayman Beverly Hills shopping spree featuring Fragrance 273 (labeled SHOP) worth $5,500.
Charlie says $5,000 for the prize value but corrects himself. That's too many numbers, and to complicate it even more, "the price keeps going up". 
With those scores, the $5,000 space will play a vital role in this game.

CPMO plays a vital role in this solve...
...until we find out it really doesn't.
She guesses THE WORD until realizing it can't be THE. She does not solve DIE HARD...
...and she won't escape with the golf vacation. Kathy finishes with just $2,800 in cash, but she'll be coming back for another game.
In the post-game chat, Vanna tells Pat that springtime is her favorite time of the year. It's fresh, the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing. What else does she like? Everything! Pat likes November 5, and that's about it. He also explains that we had 30 seconds left, and Vanna has 10 more to talk about spring. She hopes spring is also our favorite season.
