Prize on Wheel: Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter, $5,000
Jackpot Round: Before & After
Kathryn gets first crack at the Gift Tag, but there's no T. Bob picks up the ½ Car next to the pink $900 with N, then buys a dud A, before Jessica Bankrupts next to $2500.
Kathryn finds an M on $300, then buys I, and gets a free E on Free Play. After calling Y on $900, she buys O and U to finish off the vowels. Her next spins are $900 and $300 for G and P.

She asks to solve, but STUDYING UP ON MY FRENCH POODLE isn't the right answer. Off to Bob, who spins for L on $300, then D, R, and S on $550, $400, and $900.

Mystery Round: Proper Names
Bob picks up the Wild Card with S, then buys E. He then hits the $500 that formerly housed the Wild Card, and calls T. After buying A, he lands on the Mystery Wedge next to the Million Dollar Wedge. He calls H and doesn't flip it, even though there's $10,000 on the back. On he goes, calling N and L on $550 and $600, but a dud I stops him. Jessica finishes off with a pair of R's to claim the New Orleans trip.

Prize Puzzle: Phrase
Jessica Bankrupts right away (next to $650), allowing Kathryn to pick up the N on $800… but her next spin is a Bankrupt on the right edge of the MDW. Bob tries T on $600, then buys A. His next spin is $900 for the S. After buying E, he hits Free Play twice for O and L, then loses his turn to a dud M on $500.
Jessica gets the Million Dollar Wedge with G, then calls I on Free Play. Her next stop is $3500 for the R, but there's no P for $350. Kathryn adds yet another Free Play to the mix, using it to get the last vowel, U. She then stops at $500 (next to $3500) for B, and finally the ½ Car next to the pink $900 for H.
