Teja's off & running by calling four S's while on the Jackpot for two grand & buying the same amount of E's, then she Bankrupts on the right side of the Million Dollar Wedge to the tune of $1,750. Second, Morgan calls a $1,200 couple of T's, buys three A's & has two N's lit up for another thousand bucks & the green 1/2 KIA, but right after is a dud vowel of O.

Morgan first tries four S's for $1,600, two E's, five A's & three O's, then she calls off five T's for an additional three big ones, buys the rest of the vowel department (two I's & a U) & calls out six H's to reclaim the previous 1/2 KIA & tack on another $3K on to her current stake, then the board now...
T H E / _ A _ / T O / A

...but she blows the solve w/ "A WAY TO A MAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS STOMACH", which in all likelihood costs her that same plate & $6,350 in additional cash. Afterwards, Jason lets his next turn immediately go by the boards courtesy of the Bankrupt next to the Wild Card & Teja says a $600 W & two M's for the Venice trip...
T H E / W A _ / T O / A
