In Valerie's case, she loses $350 on the MDW's right-side while Marian gives back $1,250 to the normal one. Brian next picks up DVDEmpire.com gift tag Valerie missed out on earlier with the M. After getting $1,000 with two P's while on FP, he then lands on the Mystery Wedge between that and LAT. He fills in the D, and doesn't take a risk of $4,000 in cash and gift tag (too bad, because that one had the $10,000). He then hits his third BANKRUPT of the night to lose that stash.
