A bit before the first commercial break, Lindsay unravels the Daily Double from the $600 Lennon w/
$2,200; she leads Anna-Lise by $200 & Amy by $800. Lindsay puts up $1K against this:
John & Yoko's favorite area of Central Park was officially named this in 1981, after a Beatles song that he wrote.
"What is 'Strawberry Fields'?"...yup for $3,200; once we do get to the timeout, Anna-Lise now has $2,800 & Amy has exactly $800.

Amy has to Reach for the Stars to find a DD inside a $2K clue. $1K separates everybody & she's in third place w/ $5,200; Lindsay has $6,200 & Anna-Lise's sitting on $7,200. Amy only risks half the face value of this for a potential second-place tie:
A Y-shaped group of four stars depicts a water jar in this constellation.
"What is Aquarius?"...both challengers are tied for the moment w/ $6,200 a head. The $1,600 Partial Opposite containing the other DD is hers, too, now w/ $7,800; Lindsay's dropped to $5,200. Lindsay wagers a C-note again.
The OED says this 12-letter adjective meaning definitely NOT amazed & impressed dates back to the 1950s.
"What is underwhelmed?"...makes sense & is right to keep her slightly in first w/ $8,800. The first four clues on The 14th Century go to waste in the round.
