We haven't had much luck so far this week. Can we pick things up in a hurry?
EPISODE #5684 - TEACHERS WEEK[/u]
Opening Flashback Clip (November 1994): After Gary solved GERMAN OCCUPATION OF PARIS (R, M, U, T, N & A were used for that episode's "Red, White & Blue Sweepstakes") for $1,550 under the category of THE 40's, Pat was forced to do weird things such as repeating said puzzle solution.

Lillian avoids falling into some RUBBER CEMENT. Thursday's teaching panel...

FEATURED EDUCATIONAL TRIP: WorldStrides Casterbrige Tour of Italy worth $6,500
Jackpot Round - SHOW BIZ
Maegan does most of the work before losing her turn w/ the L to leave $4,900 on the table. Justin doesn't do any better w/ D while on the 1/2 car near $900. Lillian spins just once for a $700 M (WHY?!)...

Pre-Round 2 Scores
Both women: $2K

========
Mystery Round - BEFORE AND AFTER
Justin instantly BANKRUPTS near $3,500. Secondly, Lillian does some work and picks up the Wild Card in the process w/ an S, but next is a bad O puchase. Third, Maegan lights up a V, but she buys the other bad vowel of this puzzle (A). After Justin BANKRUPTS again (this time near $650), Lillian tries again w/ an L and three C's for the Mrs. Prindable's gift tag, but she then hits LAT to likely lose $6,100 cash and confections. After Maegan BANKRUPTS on the MDW's left side to lose $650, Justin lights up the leftover R's for $1,650...

PRIZE PUZZLE Round - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Shutout alert is unsurprising considering their tendencies of easy vs. hard BR's is imbalanced...
