Nah, we wouldn't cancel the donuts. We can enjoy some while looking at a Thermal-Gard bay window (labeled WINDOW) worth $4,200.

She's silent halfway through, but then she blurts out JUNK MAIL to take the money! Marlene is going home with $29,600!
In the post-game chat, Pat mentions that Monica looked at his hand and saw a "double lifeline". Comparing to Vanna's hand, Pat thinks both their hands are similar. Vanna also has some sparkles or "silver stuff" on her hand. It's probably from her dress.
