Just as Joel goes from -$200 to $800, we take our first break as Cindy barely leads Jacob $3,400-$3,200. Once the next played topic of 3-Named Authors' cleaned out, the Daily Double belongs to the champ & he has a $1K lead over Cindy, $4,600-$3,600; Joel's currently $1,200 to the good. Jacob wagers $2.5K & the lead on this answer:
Her final resting place's a Missouri cemetery where she shares a headstone w/ husband Almanzo.
"Who is Willa Cather?" was wrong; she was actually Laura Ingalls Wilder & the champ's back in second at $2,100. Cindy's ahead after this J! Round, $4,200-$3,700, while Joel gets the third-place advantage at the start of Double J! w/ six pictures of Franklin.

The $1,600 American Nickname has a DD lurking for Cindy & she has the lead again w/ $6,600, this time by $1,300 over Jacob; Joel's isn't too far behind either of them w/ $3,800. To add $1,600 to her score or be back behind the champ by $300:
The Department of State & an area of Washington, D.C. are nicknamed this.
"What is Embassy Row?"...also the name of Michael Davies' production company, incorrect; the right name was Foggy Bottom & she's dipped to the $5K level. Joel rounds out the DDs w/ the $1,600 Weather History screen & $5,400; Cindy has $7,800 & Jacob's back at the top to the tune of $9,700. Joel goes for an additional $3K w/ this:
In 1944, bombers at high altitude were speedily propelled forward-- what's now called this 2-word phenomenon.
"What is a jet stream?"...is indeed right to put him in the middle of this pack at $8,400.
