_ F / W _ A _ H
Stephanie solves the John Steinbeck novel "THE GRAPES OF WRATH".
Jackpot Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
Stephanie first says a G while on $2,500, but that's a dud. Furthermore, this is one of the rare cases that a WAYD? puzzle does NOT end with an -ING. Secondly, Sara picks up that MDW w/ three N's. Later, she picks up the blue 1/2 KIA w/ an F. But after a lot of work, she hits LAT. Afterwards, Ben FPs six S's for $3K...

Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Sara does some work and picks up the same 1/2 KIA w/ an S, but she and Ben BANKRUPT next to the Wild Card back-to-back, costing her $900 and the plate. While third in line, Stephanie finds four C's for $1,200 and a pair of F's while on the Mystery Wedge between FP and LAT. She turns down the $2K offer...but she's BANKRUPTED. Sara immediately wastes another turn w/ the other normal BANKRUPT. After Ben FPs an R and picks up the WC w/ the B...

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - PHRASE[/u]

I T ' S / L I K E
A / D R E A M

I love how Sara showed no sympathy for Stephanie in the end, telling her the A was used.
