"Episode 2.17" -
October 23
Last time, Jed Dodds and his fine
feathered friends sold his penny case for $172,000. Then Holly
Benefield rode the banker for $53,000.
Time for a new deal and a new
dealer... CATHY DELLIPONTI! She's a recently-single mother, here
to make a fresh start with her Happy Cathy Stress Reliever. If
she wins big tonight, she wants a house.
Happy Cathy takes case #8.
Now to the opening. Whatever is
in the next six cases isn't in Cathy's.

Another big amount gone, but the

That's a lot more than a
secretary makes. That's guaranteed money. But will she take it?
The girls so don't do it. "No deal, Howie."
Three more cases.

It's still good, though. The

We're into guaranteed
six-figures, or she can open two more cases. There are three big
amounts left, all three bigger than the bank offer, and there's
a 38% chance that she's sitting on one of them. "No deal."
Two to go.

But that's still good. There's a

The girls say she's got a
million. She's got a good safety net, that's for sure. Deal or
no deal? The girls say to go for it. Come on... one more... "No
deal!"
One more case... This next pick
is a team effort...
Safety net is gone. So is the
million. Bank offer plummets...

That's still good... It means the

I think that's walking money.
Will she go another round? "Skyrocket is the key word."
Remember... this is for the
kids...
Cathy is visibly stressed... "I'm
gonna take the deal."
DEAL for $185,000! Her life's
gonna change big time. But was it the right decision?
Leyla had... $750,000. She got
out at the right time! In Cathy's case...
Reset the board and the cases for
your next dealer... MARCO CEBALLOS! This Mexico City native has
been in the US for 22 years.
She knows a lot about Marisa,
she's a cancer survivor, unlike his daughter. But she's a good
luck charm, so...

Six big amounts are still in
play. Will Marco bite on this first offer? "¿Vas o no vas?"
That's... another network, Howie.
"¡No trato! No deal!" No
deal it is, then! We'll open five more next time.
