Florence solves PERTH GIBSON DESERT FREMANTLE. Ian did most of the work, but Florence finishes it, and she can have 200 if she knows where we are.
She's getting closer to Ian. The place is Western Australia. (She abbreviated to WA.)
Before we desert her again, she must take another prize. We now have $500 in Jakk by Jill Fitzsimon clothing, an Echo brush cutter, and a Nachtmann glassware set.
Florence picks the lady's clothes.

Though the bell sounds, Ian doesn't give Rob a chance. He just solves THE LAST STRAW.
He can't give up on us anymore, because he'd have to give up his prize. He must accept an i on Australia e-mail telephone, a Penguin Books package, or a Royal Selangor goblet set.
Ian wants the phone.
