Go!
Melissa solves KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON.
All dressed up for the season finale:
Melissa Cruz: "You are married, but not for long" ...and Pat blew his phraseology. She's just been married for 6 months, and she's a receptionist in Sparks, NV
Jamal Williams: In the Air Force enlisted for 5 years and now 2 years as an officer, and he's in financial management, plus he also coaches at a local high school in Santa Monica; from Torrance, CA
Mary Peak: X-ray technologist for a hospital, from La Grange, IL
Go!
Jamal solves TIKI TORCHES.
It is safe for Pat to remind us that the one-third $10,000 space won't be here for long, especially on the finale.
Melissa solves BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS.
Melissa solves STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS BOOK.
Phew! We finished a full season with the Mystery Round...after this one's over. As usual, you might flip over one of two spaces to find either a BANKRUPT or a prize, and today is a Kia Rio worth $9,745.
Mary solves SPORTING GOODS STORE, and we won't have any goose-eggs tonight.
Go!
Melissa solves SLEEPING IN LATE. Pat misread the last word like "latte".
Someone's snorting their latte after hearing that, but at least that someone didn't spill it all over the $5,000 space.
DING DING! DING DING!
The last bit could cause problems, so why wouldn't Pat give the Wheel a Final Spin? Consonants are worth $900 + $1,000 for $1,900 a piece.
Melissa solves AN AVID READER.
BONUS ROUND:
Mercedes convertible
RSTLNE gives her:
MDPO isn't looking too good outside an obvious letter.
From Sony Pictures Studio, it's America's game! Where do we finish this week and this season? How about the Bahamas?
Vanna and Pat must part ways one more time. Toss-Ups are a time-sensitive matter.

Since we've waited long enough to finish the season, we might as well hurry to our next Toss-Up.

MustangMercedes convertible
Avid about cash? ($25,000-$50,000)
Or avid about a real ending? ($100,000!)
She has her husband and sister in the audience!
Time for the last spin of the season, which Melissa will take at the Bonus Wheel. Our last envelope is the O in BONUS, and our last puzzle is on the board...

She tries JAM and FOG for the last word, and she does not solve I'M IN A FIX...
...and Pat's in trouble when he finds the $45,000 inside (which he jokes is upside-down and actually 45 cents). Melissa leaves with a total of $15,850.
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna are excited about being well into the New Year. Vanna has kept her New Year's Resolution, and Pat hesitates to ask. The resolution was to drink more water! It sounds silly, but Vanna really doesn't drink much water, so that's a good resolution! Pat says that explains the "OCCUPIED" sign when they fly.
