It's time for the fourth extra episodes week of the season, and our contestants this week want Pat and Vanna to "Give Me a Break!" (no, not me; the contestants) in style. Let's get things started.
Animated Intro of the Week: Pat & Vanna appear on a virtual set.
The unlucky Jim Thornton is the guest announcer this week. And when we say "unlucky", I mean that we're currently on a 11 Bonus Round losing streak (including two BR shutouts) when it comes to these extra episodes weeks this season. Let's hope Jimmy can be of better luck to the contestants. And the set for tonight is the one from "Pet Lovers Week".

Jackpot Round - PHRASE
A pair of birds are putting up this week's maingame category graphics.
In the middle of the round, Yvettra puts up three I's via FP and picks up the $5K bonus with two L's, but she BANKRUPTS right after that to give back that money. After Don purchases a couple of vowels...

Round 2 - WHAT ARE YOU DOING? (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Whitney starts with the -ING ending and purchases the A's, but she BANKRUPTS to lose $550. She gets her turn right back after a dud by Yvettra and a BANKRUPT hit by Don. She picks up the Wild Card with two R's, but duds out shortly after that with the H. Yvettra picks things up from there...

She only wins $500 for solving this puzzle, but she'll be WEARING A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER LEI while at the Outrigger Waikiki in HAWAII worth $6,345. She's on the board with $6,845 cash and trip.

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Yvettra and Don start immediately dud out with T and S, respectively. Whitney BANKRUPTS for the second time this evening (losing $550 and the WC in the process), and so does Yvettra. Don FPs the O, but he also falls victim to BANKRUPT; that costs him $1,200. Everybody now has BANKRUPTED at least twice so far tonight. Both ladies BANKRUPT again back-to-back (third time for each of them so far; Whitney loses $100), while Don strikes out on $3,500 with the M. Whitney picks up the MDW with an L. Towards the end, Whintey blows off her turn with a C; she very likely threw away that MDW and another $6,150. Yvettra lights up the P...
