As we head to commercial to the actual 1983-1989 "Changing Keys" theme music, the camera pans over a large group of Contest Winner participants as they wave and there's one lady in that crowd who looks like she would rather be somewhere else (not smiling and looks bored).....
Time is running short as Pat gives the wheel a final spin, vowels worth nothing and each consonant found in the puzzle will be worth: $300

$71,137 in cash and prizes and Lorraine is greeted by her mom and brother, who is TEN TIMES more excited than she is as Pat sends them all over to check out the new Cadillacs as the audience cheer them on.
For the after-game chat, Debbie Reynolds returns and she says that she always wanted to dance at Radio City Music Hall but says she wasn't tall enough. The book she had with her again, I assume it's her memoir.

Lorraine: $71,137 (includes the two Cadillac Coupes and the Bedroom)
Father Joe: $5400
Rubin: $0
