A unique piano and string piece plays over footage of Juneau.

Round 1: Things
Pat: "Just before the show we drew letters — numbers — we drew something, I dunno, we drew pictures."
Dave and Anna both hit Bankrupt consecutively. (Oddly, the "ooh" track on the applause machine begins to sound.) Yvette then duds with T on $800.
Dave hits $200 for S, buys E, then repeats the T on $200. Anna picks R on $250, but can't get the Free Spin (located on $400) with N. Yvette puts up P on $250, then hits Lose a Turn. Dave then goes for G, the last consonant, on $250.
_ S P _ R _ G _ S
S P E _ R S

Anna gets her crack at the Free Spin with N, then calls R on $450. She can't find a T for the Surprise, nor can Yvette find an S on $500.

Round 3: Fill In the Blank
(Note: By this point, the category is now shown as "Fill In the Blank" on the chyron, and the question marks are already turned at the outset.)
Yvette finds N on $1000. She spins $200 twice, calling D and then dudding with R.
Dave picks G on $200, but once again, T (on $600) is a dud, as is Anna's M on the same wedge.
Yvette picks L, C, and Y on $300, $450, and $800 before Lose a Turn gets her.
Dave picks F on $600, buys A, then once again, fills in the last consonant, P, on $3500.

Anna: $0
Yvette: $0

He solves SUPERMODEL ELLE MACPHERSON for $500 and the Surprise, which is a pair of bicycles from Klein, $3,320. (Vanna models them with a ship's captain named Logan.) This means that Dave has swept the game!

End totals:
Dave: $11,520; two day total of $36,520
Anna: Lovely parting gifts
Yvette: Lovely parting gifts
