Round 2 - BEFORE AND AFTER
At the start, Sam and Cindy miss w/ R and S, respectively. Third, Dawn has lit up double N's but then follows w/ a LAT landing. Sam next FPs double L's. A few spins later, he BANKRUPTS on the MDW's right side to toss aside $3,450; that's his second such hit of the episode. Cindy misses again w/ K. Dawn tacks on two T's and an M before she...

Mystery Round - SONG TITLE (PRIZE PUZZLE)
Cindy does some work before hitting LAT. Second for Dawn are double G's and the same number of T's while on the Mystery Wedge next to the MDW. Even though she has $900 at this point, she wants the money for those T's (good, because that's the BANKRUPT one). Two spins after that, she spots a B while on the other MW, but doesn't want to risk $3,200. That non-risk won't matter, because she BANKRUPTS on the next spin to forfeit $4,200. Sam then picks up the Wild Card w/ an M and uncovers two Y's. The board right now...
G I V E / M Y
R E G A R D S / _ _
